If clay figures are the price to pay for clean, spaced user interfaces and readable text, then bring it on.

This is the first time that I actually like a design trend in the web. Thank god we got rid of those barely readable thin grey fonts on white backgrounds.

Technically yes, but it's understandabe that they don't want someone else to take the code, add functionality and make it closed source.

As a touchpad-ignorant person (I have not used Macbook touchpad, so I don't know what I'm missing) Linux touchpad support had always seemed fine to me until distros started using libinput by default.

Last time I tried libinput, I couldn't disable acceleration on touchpads. "Flat" acceleration profile still had acceleration.

On the other hand, those who really want to read have a vast supply of amazing content online in both fiction and non-fiction. Those who have time and are willing to pirate books basically have the keys to the kingdom, they can learn whatever the hell they want with just a computer and an Internet connection.

Think of how much of a difference that makes in low and middle income countries. Maybe in the first world people have always been able to buy books for cheap (relative to their income), but the amount of reading opportunities people in low and middle income countries have with the Internet is, in my opinion, a new and beatiful thing.
