The implications of this on degenerative brain diseases is interesting.


This is true and I use LastPass but we are in the minority of users. LastPass and other password keepers are too onerous for the mainstream and require upkeep. The whole point of why web3 is the hammer everyone is trying to use is because of user adoption and buzz generated by crypto.


Welll, that was $400 I didn't know I needed to spend. Looking forward to my moonlander arriving!


Maybe I'm the only one that finds being locked into full screen mode a horrific experience.


I’m the opposite, I only work in full screen mode for everything. It’s like a zen mode for every app.


This is my experience as well. I am a 25-year PC user. Got my first MacBook last summer. The gestures just make the whole OS experience fantastic. But I can never leave my PC behind. Without gestures the Mac os is lackluster IMO.


This may be a naive question, but how does being a full time open source contributor work and how do you get paid?


There are more ways to go about it than I can describe in this reply. In my case, it was a 1.5 year stint, I funded it with my own savings and didn't have external income during that time. So I was paying myself which isn't sustainable long-term, but on the upside I got to do exactly what I wanted without external constraints. It was fun and fulfilling, with some nuanced downsides towards the end. After that, I got a paying job again (though one where I get to do more of what I wanted to do).

If you want more of my perspective, see https://dmitri.shuralyov.com/talks/2018/journey-in-software-... and https://changelog.com/gotime/58. But there are plenty of varied resources on this topic if you just search around.
