Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

It usually does it in semisensible places. Images go to ~/Pictures, downloads to ~/Downloads, etc. Sometimes it still saves to random com.somefuckingappname.someconpany folders.

hasn't this not been an issue for like nearly a decade on Android
that's been my experience anyways
Might have renamed it to file.bin as well
Obscuring the file system is one of the cardinal sins of mobile OSes.
thank Steve "blow"Jobs for this. He made consumers accept and swallow down using itunes to manage where their files went with the ipod, and now nothing makes sense.
In the end, only being a stupid hippie could save us from him, although not before stealing livers that could have actually saved other people's lives with his private jet.
It's to sloppify the user and make us more suggestible, so we didn't notice when google² moved our files to the cloud and started automatically editing our photos¹ and scanning everything for plagarism-bot³ to get free content. Its to make you used instead of user.
Everything about the modern ux kind of is.
¹not to influence us for political or advertising reasons. Lol! Dont be silly. Just, you know, for reasons. A little touch up. Maybe merging two pics so you can be in the picture with your friends. Maybe turn this night shot to golden hour. Fix the moon. Change the stars. Change that billboard in the corner. You know; little things.
²google, apple, and Microsoft all do this to some extent. Present tense. Happened last year.
³totally not anything else. Totally separate from our voluntary collaboration and commercial contracts with intelligence agencies.
Why are the footnotes out of order‽
I'll never tell.
Just use a decent file browser and sort by "recently modified" ... Like how much easier can it be made?
Not having a decent file browser built in to the system is absolutely wild, but normal for every mobile OS
I feel like this is more the iOS experience, personally.
Yeah, I've had iOS friends tell me that I didn't send images "as photos" because it didn't show up in their photos app when they download it, and that they needed me to "send it as a photo instead of a file". I'm like my brother in Christ, it's a jpeg, just figure out where you downloaded it to. Apparently it's confusing getting image files that weren't automatically imported into the gallery into the gallery, because it's typically seamless or something. So when they download a jpeg a certain way instead of having it sent on iMessage they get lost.
I've also had friends on iOS tell me that iPhones can't open zip files, and I'm like surely that's not true.
Apple knows your shit better than you (R)
I mean I relate to it on android, God forbid you want to find and edit a config file
Also google. To a lesser extent windows.
And between the iPhone's influence and the general disregard of Java for the local filesystem, we got... whatever the fuck this is.
It's in the app folder. No, none of your other apps are allowed to interact with it. Fuck you.
That's the wildest thing to me. All file interactions have to be done via apps. There's no built-in file manager or terminal to do it. And then, yeah, no apps can be given privileges for actually managing all files. Not least, because users don't actually have full permissions for accessing their phone.
