Giving up control bit by bit

Man I hate gestures. I'd happily use a phone twice as thick if it meant a real keyboard with real function buttons. (I have large hands and blunt fingers, little touchpad keyboard is a nightmare and there's no easy way to attach a stylus of comfortable size)
If anyone can find me a proper physical keyboard on a smart phone, I would happily get it, I hate virtual keyboards, my typos go up from my already nearly unacceptable rate.

Don't you know? Users being told the exact location of a file is not user-friendly!

I miss when computers did what you wanted them to do and not what the corporation wants you to do.
We call it Linux.

Tell me you don't understand what you're talking about without saying you don't understand what you're talking about.
I'm sorry you're android illiterate.

It's an audio recording app, not a screen recording app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.recorder
That's why I said look under audio instead of video.
Either way, I edited it to be specific about what apps I am using.
Ok I see the confusion, on your end. You assume this file is being saved to the global FS and this app has its own resources. So to save it globally you have to share it to the files app. i get that's confusing to normies. But it took me 20 seconds to figure it out. I'm guessing chatgpt didn't give the answer.

sounds like your pitiful mind cant understand the unix file oriented philosophy and you should stay 10 feet away from all information technology /sarcasm
It has very little to do with unix philosophy

There's a "recent files" list in most file managers

Exactly the fucking following: put my fucking files in the directories I fucking created for my fucking files, show me the fucking file system the way it fucking looks when traversed by fucking
lsI'm sorry I don't know how to traverse the FS by fucking. Can you show me

Yeah, it can be hard to find files sometimes. File Navigator solves this problem perfectly.

Android is built in the Linux kernel. That's actually some of what causes this - Android's permissions model takes the Linux model and amplifies it. Apps are treated like users to prevent them from messing with each other's files. If an app uses Android's downloads manager it can write to the downloads directory, but it can only see the files that it put there.

Meanwhile
Windows; Hi, you saved a file earlier? Let's search for it. Nope, can't find it, do you want to search Bing? No?
[A few minutes later] Ooo, so sorry you're offline and can't download it. Too bad.Ios; you want to open the file in an app? OK, click 7 buttons and we'll make a local copy stored in the app's specific folder you didn't know existed.
Chrome; what's a file?
Linux; which file browser would you like to use today?

the default one that comes with every distro and opens by default when i want to find files.
its only a problem if you fiddle with installing more file browsers, as with any os really.

I'm sorry, did you or did you not say the files app just shows everything? Does the meme imply that finding files on Android is difficult? Did you not just explain something extremely counterintuitive that's contradictory to your own first post?

Luckily, we technology enthusiasts are all special snowflakes and don't engage in anything as banal as copying other people.

There are not files. There are only vibes. If your surf the vibe ocean well enough, you will find what you were looking for.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I def did not say the "files app shows (everything)" . I hope the reading skills improve. If we are being pedantic.

You could use a different file manager. And there's a few places I would look for files : downloads, pictures, etc, or in a folder named for the app under one of those places
