@danirabbit Ah I see. It's not quite on the same level, mostly because no actual capacity was lost (and books have been in print-type for so long that the notion of cursive books is practically a curiosity now), while for those systems they still very much do use those mechanisms and their obscuring does hinder the users' control and ownership of their computing. I literally wish I could unlearn both vim and cursive. OPs point, on the other hand, is a genuinely important one, having to do with "power in the machine" |
@danirabbit @SwiftOnSecurity Practically no nation besides Russia bothers, though I'm not sure it's all that dramatic of a loss.
Its purpose - fast writing - is rarely done by hand now and even then it wasn't anywhere near as fast as shorthand (also known as stenography) even in its day of prime.
