I think this is a GNOME thing...the keychain by default has the same password as the login password, so logging in with the password unlocks it too. fingerprint login doesn't unlock it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38527876, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring

by "Mozilla approved" do you mean that it has to come from the official add-on store?

because in my experience, it doesn't--I've installed a couple of extensions manually by just dragging the .xpi into the window.

hm i mean, python doesn't really care about indentation kind, as long as it's consistent...

maybe writing a Makefile (which afaik really REALLY wants tabs), and want to ensure someone's IDE doesn't change it to spaces.

the pandoc typst reader is a bit barebones, it doesn’t support packages (understandable) and seems to get confused with functions for me…though it’s been a bit since i tried it

Could you give an example of how it could be more similar to Markdown? I recently used Typst for my bachelor's project and never really thought that it needed to be simpler
