Seat belt laws are an interesting example though because they only apply when driving on public roads. You can drive your car with no seat belt on a private track all day if you want to.

Well said!

I’d argue putting everything in terms of black and white is the bigger issue than understanding nuance


Generalizing with "everything", "all", etc exclusive markers is exactly the kind of black/white divide you're arguing against. What happened to your nuanced reality within a single sentence? Not everything is black and white, but some situations are.


The person he's replying to argued against putting things on a spectrum. Does that not imply painting everything in black and white? Thus his response seems perfectly sensible to me.


He argued against putting things in a spectrum in many instances where that would be wrong, including the case under the question. What's your argument against that idea? LLM'ed too much lately?


He argued against and the response presented a counterargument. Both were based around social costs and used the same wording (ie "everything").

You made a specious dismissal. Now you're making personal attacks. Perhaps it's actually you who is having difficulty reasoning properly here?


That’s still like 10 uses vs unlimited uses on macOS


Having a key reserved for OS level actions means you can create your own shortcuts and macros based on it without fear of it conflicting with each app shortcuts.

Since operating systems also don't change often nowadays there is also seldomly any conflicts when a new system shortcut is added.

I also love good old Meta + left click/right click drag for moving and resizing windows in linux.


It may be ten uses, but it's ten uses I use constantly throughout the day.


You must not use MacOS. Command gets used all over the place, even during editing. And in Emacs it gets used as Super, which opens up some options.


Even just the window management category is more than ten uses. And it is unlimited uses, as you can assign additional shortcuts however you like.


Not my 70yo mom. She used to have a big gray PC but switched to a Chromebook (one I gave her) about 15 years ago, and now only uses her phone and tablet.


I "sold" my mother my personal top-of-the-line MacBook Pro ~2014... only to eventually discover it largely unused when we were probating her properties.

iPad awas the perfect device for her (I've touched one perhaps twice, in my entire lifetime).


As a kid I used to buy bootleg Japanese Dragonball Z tapes from a legit store at the mall!

They sold them under the counter. I just wanted to know what was going to happen ahead of all my friends haha.


Seems like the wrong link to me. Just a dude working on a car.


Is there anything like this for the Logitech keyboards (eg MX Keys Mini)? I want to remap some keys there too but don’t want to run Options+


Same problem here. I have Wave Keys for Mac, and my girlfriend has the Wave Keys for Windows with reversed Fn and Ctrl. It’s a headache when I go to her place. I use Karabiner, but it doesn’t really swap them, and Logi Options+ doesn’t either obviously.


Use kanata (github.com/jtroo/kanata). It's software remapping and works on any keyboard (including built-in laptop keyboards).

Great docs, incredible feature set (literally 50x the capabilities of any logitech first party remapper), and very lightweight.


Their margins may not have changed actually. https://youtu.be/IGCzo6s768o


I agree with Epic. It should be like on windows or macOS where you can register, get notarized, and then distribute without scare screens. I don’t see why phones are inherently different than computers.
