Note that a sandbox escape is often possible via TIOCSTI (CVE-2017-5226) [0] unless a special flag (--new-session) is used.

Bubblewrap is aware of this, yet their documentation gives no indication that this flag is necessary to produce a secure sandbox. In --help, the documentation of --new-session is simply "Create a new terminal session," which severely understates its importance.

It's frustrating to have such a useful tool be knowingly easy to misuse.

This is an unfair comparison because covid death reporting lags far behind other data

In that case, Safari should make it clear that its users should not expect web application to work well. OP proposes helping Safari do that by displaying informational banners when appropriate.

Also try searching "journalist in blue" via the default (not image) article search on Bing. It lacks the relevant results found on Google or DuckDuckGo.

> I'm not so sure... just, like, maybe put one single thought into organizing it?

Most documentation definitely needs more attention towards organization.

But in my experience, organization is extremely difficult, especially because a documentation author may think of the system very differently than a new user might
