It's unclear to me how just deleting it would solve all the aforementioned issues.

This post does highlight the biggest difference between the Internet before and now (or reality for that matter). Given enough effort there is virtually no difference between a human and a non-human. Before you would join a community to feel a sense of belonging or learn or whatever. Now how do you even know you are not a minority (humans that is) in a given subreddit?

If you are using vim in the terminal pressing alt send an escape sequence when followed by another key press. So to go out of insert mode I usually press alt+ one of h/j/k/l

I wish the author had spent more time explaining what's better about SWM compared to TWM.

> It was the best of both worlds—easy to navigate, while remaining mousable.

Is not really convincing as Cosmic desktop for example is tiling while remaining mousable.

I have been vaguely aware of PaperWM and Niri but never saw the appeal productivity-wise.
