So, this is one of those things that would likely be very painful for a short period of time as you adjust to typing on a split keyboard. I was the same way when I typed on a normal stagggered layout, but being completely unable to do that,

I share this experience and my typing on a normal keyboard is still only using a few fingers and moving them around all over the place. On a split keyboard even, i still 'misplace' some fingers because my pinky finger is so short

If you're logged into reddit, there's an option to just use the old layout which doesn't need an extension to redirect you.

In some cases it can be used to broadly pardon people due to injustice. Carter blanket pardoned all Draft dodgers [1]. It doesn't have to be a "real solution" as that isn't the duty of the president to create law, which

It speaks to the inherent flaws in any justice system. Presidential pardons are just one check against that. This lies squarely in line with what a presidential pardon is intended for.

It would lose its charge over time, yes. Just like any other laptop that's left unplugged. If he's taking the laptop with him then that's not really an issue and if he wants to use it docked he'd just plug it back into t

No, you didn't miss anything. I'm assuming that he just unplugs the cable from one when he wants to use the other. As far as I know there aren't any sort of KVM thunderbolt 3 hubs in existence.

There’s not been leaks, but there’s no reason to believe that it won’t be coming any time soon. Hypothetically the latest it would come out is in first half of 2022, but I’d be surprised if it took that long for the 16 inch macbook pro.

That's a remarkably off-base take. You're attributing qualities that linux has to things that linux exclusively has. Your entire rant about emulating the functionality of Hazel with scripts is something you can do with either oper

For certain developers... for a $500 fee. I doubt that many of the developers of packages on homebrew had access to the kit nor the inclination to buy it even if they did. They don't have the userbase nor the financial incentives to be
