The underlying APIs are very similar, but you can't just install an extension from the Chrome Web Store.

Yet you confidently decided that they're not neurodivergent based on a comment?

That's not a licence to routinely adopt extreme opinions.

- macOS doesn't natively support "alt tab"-like behaviour (Cmd-Tab and Cmd+` are not analogous). You need something like alt-tab.app.

- You can't have the trackpad use "natural scrolling" and an external mouse use "normal scrolling" at the same time. The setting applies to all devices at once, so you need an external app (like LinearMouse) to use it.

That said, it's not like OSs and DEs don't have annoying things you need to fix (eg adding plugins to fix GNOME weirdness).

The character limit thing is real. Another problem is that even if you manage to address all of their points, they're not required to engage with that. They can just ask the LLM to write a basic response back and say they won't change the score.

This technique is so obvious to anyone who spends more than a minute with multiple choice tasks. It's wild they're claiming it as a feature.

This already happens. It's clear when a reviewer used an LLM, and it's very annoying for the authors that have to respond to what are usually low quality, superficial reviews.

There is. NLP conferences, like the ACL family (and the ARR) require you to disclose in the paper if you used LLMs for writing and coding, which ones and how. Whether every author is honest is a different matter.

Comptime is a big one too. You can achieve similar things in Rust with generics and macros, but comptime makes certain things easier (and other things harder).

You don't need to use fzf. Zoxide has an interactive function too.

Why do they show different information (temperature, rain etc.) for the same location?

I'm missing a good way to turn on/off plugins and settings depending on the directory. Eg turning off rust-analyzer on some projects, or using pyright instead of mypy as the LSP.
