like don't get me wrong, it's overall a good thing that we've been aggressively focusing on making computers easier to use for the last 40 years
The learning curve used to be really steep, it was a problem.
but we've also really flattened how much extra functionality you get out of learning more about how computers work. Even things as simple as "you can tab between UI elements and not have to take your hands off the mouse" is far less useful computer knowledge, since it barely works now
it's very cool and handy that you can use a website from a device that fits in your pants
but I'm on a big computer that doesn't, and a lot of aspects of the experience has been kinda ruined by solely focusing on the pants-computer accessibility
I'll be happy with non-keyboard-navigable UIs as soon as I can get a third arm installed, and no sooner
@foone Maybe it was a mistake to make computers that could fit in our pants... Now we're *all* expected to have computers there...
