Right? Seems like Linux fanboy propaganda. If you don't know where your file saves to, you're probably incompetent and shouldn't be near a computer. Even the most incompetent of users in my 15 year IT career know how to save something and where it's saving to.

You’d probably experience it if you were in a OneDrive/sharepoint/teams bla bla bla shop. The AutoSave defaults to On, the default destination is (I think?) the user home folder in OneDrive, and the default Save As does not pop up the system dialog, only your Recents. I feel this meme for sure and I’m a 25-year IT professional. It’s just poorly built user interaction, that someone in the bowels of M$oft thought would be “easier” but it took away most of the visibility and control from the user.

Eh that threw me off when it was new but it's been a thing for about a decade at this point. My work is all-in on Azure and this has never confused any users as far as I've seen, and we've got some incredibly ignorant users. Everyone just hits "browse" from that screen and you're back to the old school save screen.

I've been seeing that a lot recently. And having been curious before, I never want to touch it.

How do you know if a user is a bot?
