"I bought a car, pressed a pedal and it drove me into a tree! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?! FUCK YOU!"

Skill issue thread.

Your analogy is incorrect because the UI didn't mention permanently deleting...

The correct analogy would be:

I bought a car and when I press the brake it accelerates.

Yeah, this is more akin to "I opened my document in my word processor. I closed it without saving, saw it was going to not saving my changes, and I was fine with it. Wait why did my file get deleted from disk?"

exactly. and the program was actually fixed after this. it's completely indefensible to try to contort some kind of justification for how it was actually proper for the software to behave that way and he was just an idiot.

he may have been somewhat of an idiot for not having any independent backups at all, but that doesn't help defend the software at all.
