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.

Very cool! I like the different modes. I've always been fascinated with this space and products like Leap Motion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXghYjh6Gro

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.

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.

If people didn't notice, this was built by a 13 year old. This is a fun space to be building stuff in. Neat little project and I hope you keep it up!

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.

I never realized just how thin these displays are. Very cool!

Misinformation is a security risk that comes both from deliberate sabotage as well as monetary incentives. If it bleeds, it leads. I'm not in favor of censorship like this or social medias tagging things as "fake news" but how else do we prevent people from believing everything they see on these platforms?

Interesting! I wonder how long ago (if ever) eclipses weren't even possible

Is it just coincidence that from our point of view the moon looks like it's the exact same size as the sun? Or is there something else going on?

Are you saying POCs are pointless unless a script kiddie can use it?
