This phenomenon (or a closely related one?) is recognized and known as Kotov Sydnrome in the context of chess.

A summary, courtesy of chess dot com:

> The name of this "syndrome" comes from GM Alexander Kotov, author of the classic chess book Think Like a Grandmaster. In the book, Kotov described an incorrect yet very common calculation process that often leads players to select a suboptimal or bad move.

> According to Kotov, in positions where the lines are complex and there are numerous candidate moves and variations to calculate, it's easy to make a hasty move. A player in that situation might spend too much time going over two moves and all of their ramifications without finding a favorable ending position. In that process, the player is likely to go back and forth between the two different lines, always coming to the same unsatisfying conclusion—this wastes precious mental energy and time.

> After spending too much time evaluating the first two options, the player gives up the calculation due to time pressure or fatigue and plays a third move without calculating it. According to the author, that sort of move can cause tremendous blunders and cost the game.

I think that on "bare" Win 11 you press Win+Z, and you see a selection of a few possible layouts that you can click and choose

It is essentially the same thing, with FancyZones only adding the ability to enhance default presets with custom layouts - am I wrong?

I quite liked Launchy and I can recommend it. This being said, it's inexplicable to me why this particular feature isn't supported on Windows out of the box. The nearest equivalent (search feature in the Start menu) is pretty bad.

To me the effect occurs - to some extent - with regard to which language I speak.

You probably meant split personality.

I rebind it to backspace, as in the Colemak layout.

This works pretty great, especially since eg. ctrl + backspace (I don't know about Macs, does cmd + backspace work?) deletes the entire last word.

Without remapping the capslock you need both hands to execute this shortcut, which makes it much less practical.

Much easier in a world where consumers stop trying to find the cheapest product they can.

While I admittedly can't remember what I did exactly in order to switch them off at the beginning... I'm not seeing any, ever. So clearly I must've used such a switch

If by "ads in start menu" you mean the lame app suggestions, it's trivial to disable the thing.

All I get for every search (no matter what terms) is: "Whoops... something is broken and has been reported. In the mean time, please try a different search."

Korwin-Mikke is known for his colourful language - which he doesn't reserve for so-called refugees, far from that- and a proclivity for PR scandals. He's hardly representative of Polish mainstream political class though (he himself would be greatly offended at such implication), so kindly please keep Poland as such out of it

Where the boundary lies is subjective in my opinion, personally I feel it's better overall to "err on the safe side" as far as these matters go. At any rate, I would be quite simply curious about she would have to say

I know it's just a blog post, but if we consider blogging to be journalism (even in some remote sense), then the accepted practice is to reach out to the other side and ask for comments. She could - obviously - refuse, then you write she refused comment. Or she might have some explanation that doesn't involve racial bias. It may be some BS excuse, we might not believe in it, etc. but this is her problem and it doesn't change the principle. On the other hand, not even letting that person know that you made the situation public, and offered conclusions at that, is kind of shady to me. But maybe I'm just old-fashioned (in the sense of believing in journalism standards, not racial segregation).
