Intelligence Per Watt
From 1946 to 2009, computing efficiency—performance per watt—doubled every 1.5 years. This trend, documented by Koomey and colleagues, transformed where computing could happen. Workloads migrated from mainframe rooms to desktops, then laptops, then pockets. The transition from centralized time-sharing to personal computing didn't occur because PCs surpassed mainframes in raw performance. It occurred when efficiency gains made computing capable enough within the power constraints of personal devices.
Desktop Neo – rethinking the desktop interface for productivity.
The desktop computer hasn’t changed much in the last 30 years. It’s still built on windows, folders and mouse input. But we have changed. We now use smartphones and tablets most of the time, since they are much easier to use.The traditional desktop computer is struggling to adapt the simple interfaces of mobile devices while also keeping its focus on productivity. With people switching to mobile devices for mundane tasks, we have the opportunity to rethink the desktop computer with a focus on getting professional work done.

Are we stuck with the same Desktop UX forever? | Ubuntu Summit 25.10
I see talk on here about the public being "platform brained", and a lot of that in my experience comes down to impatience. It's what you see when mainstream apps change layout. People have expectations about how apps are supposed to work, and learning something else is an imposed waste of effort.

My take on the "explaining atproto" discourse is that all the UX/filesystem/etc metaphors are still very verbose and that you can explain the same idea in a lot less words: It separates data from apps, so any app can use data from any other app. That fits in a tweet, with other sentences around it.
