This is my exact experience! I really tried for 6 months and I just couldn't avoid fumbling around. For example, the experience of going in/out of fullscreen is jarring.
What's funny is that when someone first learns about Alt+Tab it's like the best cheat-code for any desktop navigation, but after switching to Niri, Alt+Tab seems like a silly way to layout your windows.
Ironically, this year has been particularly good for salmon fishing in south-central Alaska, where the large majority of the population lives. But who knows for how long.
I work in this space of measuring (mostly coastal) water levels and it's pretty amazing how many different vertical datums there are. When people say something has a height of X, you don't always consider what it's relative to. Is it sea level? High tide or low tide? Maybe it's relative to one of the many geodetic ellipsoids. Maybe a nearby physical benchmark put into the ground by a surveyor. Many cases (like this article) just care about the relative changes locally, but even for that you have to be careful of places like Southeast Alaska where glacial melt causes the land to rise and give the appearance of sea levels dropping.
In my area it's becoming very popular for schools (middle and high) to restrict phones. They put them in the pouch things. I'm a bit surprised how much the parents support it. Talking to a local journalist he said he couldn't find parents with good arguments against it. One of them was "my son runs an online business and needs access to his phone for it".
I couldn't get a cell until I had a driver's license, which I think made sense at the time. Today, a kid might be alienated without a phone.
> Today, a kid might be alienated without a phone.
That's really the point of a program like this. A lot of parents think smartphones (mainly social media, really) are a net negative for their kids, but we have this tragedy of the commons situation where no one wants their kid to be left out / socially isolated. Having this "wait until 8th" thing is basically parents playing the prisoner's dilemma getting together and agreeing that it we'd be much happier if everyone cooperates rather than defect on this issue.
"Today, a kid might be alienated without a phone." Might ... but more likely not. I can't understand why this irrational fear of potential social problems if not tethered to a phone is outweighing the clear evidence of actual social problems when tethered to a phone has so much traction with adults.
Shouldn't be a hard sell to developers. According to this year's StackOverflow survey, Phoenix is by far the most admired web framework (10% above the second most popular). Elixir is the second most admired language, behind Rust.
The questions in that survey are poorly worded so as to make the results ambiguous, since they confound 1) languages in which X person has worked with in the past year, with 2) languages in which X person would like to work on next year. These express two very different concepts: 1) popularity in the workplace, 2) developers' personal preferences. (Neither of them have to do with the most "admired".
I don't understand the answers to your "what is a legitimate website with a malicious owner" question, but I kinda see this as the same concern as downloading a phone app that requests an OAuth login via a native webview. You can't always see the true URL of that login page. But it comes back to what I think is your main point -- you've already downloaded something malicious from the get-go. But I guess there's some damage control if you can spot a fake login page and remove the install.
