That was my immediate thought as well. "Ok, you built a desktop environment. Why? What can it do that can't be easily obtained elsewhere?"

it's already prohibitively expensive for most people since most insurance doesn't cover it. Doesn't really seem like a solution. Edit: in the US. Can't speak for other nations.

You're arguing in bad faith, the point is that limiting access to speech platforms is not in the interest of citizens and only serves the government.

> Unschooling works for some, mostly those who have a desire to self-direct. That's not everyone.

Definitely agree, I've also seen a non-zero number of parents using (home/un)schooling as an excuse to basically not parent their children and have intentionally disconnected from those communities

This is very similar to my own experience. Having the freedom to try things out and explore my interests at a young age had a large impact later, and gave me a real sense of personal direction that I see many of my peers lacking.

I do find many of the arguments in this article somewhat nonsensical, but this one in particular hits home.

Cool project, writing a lexer/parser/tokenizer for a simple language was an enjoyable and gratifying experience when I dabbled in the past. It's fun to learn about how those things work in such a hands-on way.

Coming from a similar background I found that it was super helpful to create my own keybinds for stuff like navigating forward/backward through tabs, toggling the sidebar etc. Before I did that I felt similarly that it was too mouse dependent.

The VSCode Vim extension has a `gh` key sequence for showing the hover info you normally have to use the mouse for that made switching much easier.

I was under the impression JMAP was just a sync protocol and had nothing to do with js in email. Is that incorrect?
