If we’re collecting anecdata, I installed Fedora fresh on a framework a couple months ago. I like the cohesiveness of GNOME these days but i’ve seen a couple of issues like non stop notification bells on repeat or inability to wake screen when plugged in to a monitor that feel not prod ready.

I don’t know that i’d expect windows to be much better either, but that’s my experience.

I'm saying tabindex=0 is naturally sorted wrt other naturally focusable elements. That matches the behavior of the <button> you're trying to emulate. I don't know what tabindex>0 has to do with this.

See this fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/483uqjnp/

(again, I do not condone building your own <button>, just pointing this out)

- tabindex=0 doesn’t affect ordering, does it?

- why do you need to listen for events at the document level?

not that i disagree with the article, but some arguments didn’t seem right.

you’re bringing in an unwarranted value judgement on quitting here. easier why? maybe because i have more important things to do?

why would people choose to suffer a skill issue for a skill they have? that makes no sense to me and imo you're vastly underestimating this percent.

I don’t really understand what you’re arguing anymore. Is the average person afraid of the unknown or are they capable of ignoring things?

You seem comfortable with the idea that a child not having this learned skill. I don’t know why you don’t extend that empathy towards the inexperienced in general.

if the UI is forcing me to look at these options before pressing Go, it is a signal that someone thought these were important to consider before i pressed Go. this is the gricean maxims of quantity and relation.

the decision to ignore this signal is a learned behavior that you and i have, is all i’m saying

it’s an old google internal interface over google’s vcs piper that let you use git to manage your changes

How do you gain the confidence that what you choose to ignore is safe to ignore?

Computer damage is one potential consequence on the extreme end. On the conservative end, the software might just not work the way you want and you waste your time. It’s a mental model you have to develop. Even as a technical power user though, I want to reduce the risk of wasting my time, or even confront the possibility that I might waste my time, if I don’t have to.

I love that this is categorized as "reverse engineering" at the bottom of the post.

It's the JSON data payload that has unminified keys. Though YouTube is one of the few google sites that still use JSON, most use protocol buffers which generate JS interfaces which would indeed be mangled by minifiers.

I know I'll have to give up the comp but like you say, it's a tough choice. Mostly looking to see how others have rationalized this choice.
