I don't think I quite understand what computing has become at this point. I keep encountering situations where the SWEs, who write and maintain software that I assumed to be trustworthy, decide that superficial considerations are more important than data integrity or user control of critical decisions. It keeps happening, so it's not a mistake or an oversight. Some of you genuinely think that this is how software should work.

Low system storage causes a write error which corrupts the database which houses the history
