Ctrl-d is so much faster.

Heh. I guess there is some truth to that if everyone agrees. I'd be curious to understand why that's the case. My guess is rising complexity, plus an ever increasing "need" (even if imaginary) of more features and ways to monetize.

Seriously thinking of just going the Cuban way of buying only old timer cars. Something from the late 90s/early 00s ought to be perfect. Still new enough to get replacement parts but old enough that all the new electronics bullshit is not incorporated yet.

Except the input handling which completely does not work for non QWERTY layouts. I have no idea what they do, but not a single key is correctly output on my keyboard. And ghostty is the only program that has those issues.

I booted my PC this morning (~9 am), and during lunch break (walking my dog), the PC rebooted. So, if there was any timer I missed it because I was away. I just checked my active hours, and Windows had reset them to 08-12. So, I guess it rebooted the minute I walked out the door at 12.

Agree. I'd expect younger people would like all the technical gadgets. For me, however, the biggest downsides is the considerably worse reliability. I have the feeling my car is in the shop after each long trip because something broke again.

Ich frag mich wie unsere Politiker ohne Rückgrat aufrecht gehen können. Wahrscheinlich hängen die nur noch an den Marionetten Strippen der Lobbyisten.

Right. I didn't think of the generic use case. That makes perfect sense.
Thank you!

I never got the reason for folks using Result<T, !>. The error can never happen. Why not just use T?
