Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

I just had this exchange with my few years younger girlfriend who counts as a zoomer:
Me: So go into the Canon app and select from there the file you want to print
Her: ...
Me: (showing on the phone) So go there, and now just browse for the file.
Her: uhh...
Me: Where did you save the file?
Her: I don't know.
Me: Uh, so where is it?
Her: In the PDF app
She's really smart, she uses Linux, she laughs about some of her same age and younger friends not having a clue about files and folders and stuff but phone is where this happens hah
To be fair, phone OSes go out of their way to obscure where files go for some reason. Android's filesystem is somewhat arcane even when it's completely transparent, and it's mostly hidden behind apps that just say "Saved" or "Downloaded" and I'm left asking "okay but where!?"
EDIT: I suppose it's not necessarily the OS's fault but more of the app culture
I believe this was the reason hah. Pictures are in the picture app, documents are in the documents app...
People should install a good file explorer like Cx, it actually shows where the files are....i also use it to access my nas and stream video from there.
This os only true if the apps play nice. Some save stuff in their own arcane space, never to be seen again.
How can someone who uses linux not establish knowing her phones folder structure and app folder usage?
She uses Linux but mostly out of dislike of Windows and not because she's tech enthusiasts. I'm her on-premises tech support for the system
Tbf, phones needlessly obscures file storage. Like why do I have to have a specific third party app just to have the normal file management functionality
