This might be true, but the priorities are depressing.
Mine (really cheap G05) has it on the power button, much better than the back where it used to be on older models. Motorola have been innovative with the UX. It lights up when I pick it up, shake twice to toggle flashlight (extremely useful when looking for dog poop) and so on. Only brand I've considered for about a decade.
I've used Moto G series for years and reading this makes me very happy with my choice. They've found a market fit and this shows they know their audience.
TUI is peak UI, anyone who disagrees just don't get it. Every program listens to the same keybindings, looks the same and are composable to work together. You don't get that clicking buttons with the mouse. It's built to get the work done not look pretty.
After a while you learn to be specific ' -a' (with space) or '-a,', but this requires that you know what you're looking for. Also n/N is easier to jump between matches than /<Enter>, one less keypress.
Another useful trick is filtering with &, &/-a will narrow it down, but you won't know about the sub-commands if there are many matches. I just tried &/hidden on rg and fd and it takes me straight to `-., --hidden` for rg and `-H, --hidden` for fd. And &/case shows all options related to case-sensitivity with the descriptions. Once you get the intuition for it it's not that bad.
Manuals are not perfect but I don't think I would want an AI. I'm frustrated enough when I don't find a flag the LLM insists is supposed to be there and it gaslights me even though I'm telling the stupid thing I have the manual open.
Nothing, but what puts me off is the sale of emission rights etc. Is it a problem or not? I care more about deforestation than a warming climate. There is always some product to buy behind the headlines and it drives me crazy.
The same people asking me to pay climate taxes are trying to tell me infinite growth can exist. I already live like a hermit and if everyone lived like me we wouldn't have a problem. We can't pay our way out of the problem and anyone who tells me we can is only out to make money.
I'm not against a clean planet, I'm against the politicians and businesses finding another way to extract money from their worker bees.

I'm going to get down-voted for this, but doesn't this describe Apples' target audience? Every year big live streamed events showing the "latest and greatest".
> "Dont trust google" imo is the wrong response here.
Straw man. The argument is that by installing random extensions you trust anonymous developers *because* Google doesn't audit. I'll cite the parent to spare you the effort of reading it again:

Yes, I trust the contents of the medicine I buy at the drug store more than I trust the drug dealer on the corner. That's why they hand out test kits for free at raves.
Debian stable. If you need something to be on the bleeding edge install it from backports or build from source. But keep most of your system boring and stable. It has worked fine for me for years.
I don't think you understand Debian. There's a new release every 2 years. A few months before every release there's the so called package freeze on the testing branch. The version the packages are on at that point that's the version they will have for the next stable release. Between releases the only updates are security updates.
Do you mean I should worry about the fixed CVEs that are announced and fixed for every other distribution at the same time? Is that the supply-chain attack you're referring to?
This might be true, but the priorities are depressing.
