My professor is an author in it, feels cool.

Authoritarian abuse is second to war in being the most bipartisan issue.

I used to have an automatic google search-domain blocker. It was just front-end though so if a page would have website domains that were useless, it would only have 1 or 2 results on it unfortunately. Something a little better integrated would be nicer.

I don't speak French at all yet, but looking at this keyboard, I like most all the design choices over the standard QWERTY keyboard and especially over the old AZERTY French keyboard. For English use it is quite nice except I do like the ' and " keys close to the center, and as a general rule I think switching the 6 bracket keys ()[]{} over two keys to the right would be nicer for programming use to avoid needing to over-extend the pointer-finger (Put ù and Ù on the 5 key anyways, to match with the other accented vowels). I really like the extra basic maths keys as well, since too often there is no LaTeX or Markdown widget in websites.

If you want to try out this keyboard yourself, check out this pilot layout[0] as well as the government website on the new keyboard[1].

As a user who knows absolutely zero Git, I often fumble around for a good 20 minutes at times trying to figure out how to just install someone's project for consumer use.
