• Why would an Android (or Windows) menu change much in two decades of use?

    Q: Why would an Android (or Windows) menu change in two decades of use?
    A: ???

    What people do on any computing device is the same, whether it's a desktop
    or a mobile device, so I also use hierarchical menus which are functional.

    Windows: <https://i.postimg.cc/Gmbyp807/windows-android.jpg>

    One thing I do that is brilliant, and which probably 9999 out of 10,000
    people can't do (maybe even 999,999 out of a million) is I literally *copy*
    my menu from the old computing device to the new computing device.

    That means my Windows 10 menu is from an XP box from two decades ago.
    That means my Android homescreen is from an Android of a decade ago.

    It's literally a single file on Android.
    And a single folder on Windows.

    Very few people are that brilliant, but I enjoy being brilliant.
    In fact, I'm even more brilliant than I have said so above.

    Why?
    Because every app installer is saved into the same hierarchy!

    Being brilliant is it's own reward because I can do what the next million people can't even fathom doing, since all they do is what Marketing tells
    them do to. They're parrots. I'm not. I'm brilliant if I do say so myself.

    And yes, I'm making a very strong point that most people are shockingly
    stupid utterly incomprehensibly ignorant morons when it comes to menus.

    And yet, they're so simple.
    They never change., Even in decades of using computers.

    You do the same thing on all devices.
    The menu should change slightly, of course, over the decades.

    But the fundamentals remain the same for decades.
    Because you do the same thing on all your computing devices.

    Don't you?
