Wayland, Switching between & focusing windows with just hotkeys?
Edit: I want a graphical window switcher that's fully keyboard controlled, so I can see the windows before switching them.
The screenshot is from hyprland-easymotion which only shows labels for visible windows. I want a switcher that allows for both switching to windows or the same, or from any app, using just the keyboard and no mouse.
Ideally I could go to a window without pressing tab or another key a bunch of times, perhaps select any window (visible or not) with a letter like easymotion.
Idk if I follow. I believe the default keybinds in hyprland allow you to switch between windows using super+J/K/L/;, and between workspaces using super+number. Hyprland, like all tiled window managers, are specifically designed to be used exclusively with a keyboard.
Are you asking for something more like alt+tab on windows? Where it shows a little preview of all the windows? I think that's kind of obviated by the concept of a tiled window manager.
This is better than directional arrows or alt tab because you can go directly to any window with one binding to open the utility and a second key to type a window label.

The beauty is that it’s the same short process to go to any window no matter if if you 15 visible windows across 3 monitors.
You don’t have to conceptually switch to an output and then to a window or type a string of directional keys like Super+LLLLLJJ

Out of the blue he said that when we start traveling again he has some ideas.
On one hand I am in awe of his optimism and on the other hand disappointed in my lack of. It's not that I don't want to do fun things it's just that I'm so busy worrying about keeping everyone comfortable and alive.
Maybe I should allow myself to hope more.
It wouldn't hurt a thing for us to plan an excursion whether it comes to pass or not.
Summer thinks she might like to sniff some new frontier.

I spent my morning volunteering. I stuffed envelopes with mail in ballots for a tribal election.
One of those things where you volunteer and then wonder why when the obligation comes due.
It worked out. I was the only worker in a mask and I left early. A whole bunch of old women and one mask. Go figure.

Orion and the Ocean of Storms
Explanation: On December 5, 2022, a camera on board the uncrewed Orion spacecraft captured this view as Orion approached its return powered flyby of the Moon. Beyond one of Orion's extended solar arrays lies dark, smooth, terrain along the western edge of the Oceanus Procellarum. Prominent on the lunar nearside Oceanus Procellarum, the Ocean of Storms, is the largest of the Moon's lava-flooded maria. The lunar terminator, the shadow line between lunar night and day, runs along the left of this frame. The 41 kilometer diameter crater Marius is top center, with ray crater Kepler peeking in at the edge, just right of the solar array wing. Kepler's bright rays extend to the north and west, reaching the dark-floored Marius. By December 11, 2022 the Orion spacecraft had returned to its home world. The historic Artemis 1 mission ended with Orion's successful splashdown in planet Earth's water-flooded Pacific Ocean.

Long but good read on the the toxic gambling industry in South Africa, pulling money away from the productive economy, funding and laundering crime and increasing poverty:
"They spent more on gambling than they did on vegetables. They gambled away more money than they spent on bread and more than they spent on all non-alcoholic drinks combined."

BBC training tells staff not to criticise Zionists: The training, rolled out to BBC staff last week and seen by Middle East Eye, says people should criticise the Israeli government rather than Zionist (Middle East Eye, 2025-12-10)

>> The [BBC's new antisemitism] training, ... says: "Antisemites frequently use the word 'Zionist' ..., when they are in fact referring to Jews, whether in Israel or elsewhere.
>> "Those claiming to be 'anti-Zionist, not antisemitic', should do so in the knowledge that many Jewish people consider themselves to be Zionists."
>> The course was made by the BBC Academy in conjunction with the Jewish Staff Network, the Antisemitism Policy Trust and the Community Security Trust (#CST).
>> The #BBC training also incorporates the controversial International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (#IHRA) definition of antisemitism ...

BBC training tells staff not to criticise Zionists
The BBC's new antisemitism training course says people who "have no intention to offend Jewish people" should not "criticise Zionists".Imran Mulla (Middle East Eye)
Lol who cares if you’re Jewish and consider yourself to be a Zionist? Why the fuck should I have to care about your feelings when the shitty ideology you base your whole identity around committed a genocide and your government rapes people to death? Seriously I don’t give a shit about protecting some sensitive white Jewish persons feelings. If we lived in a world where people had any kind of morale compass there would be mass resignations at the BBC already because of how shitty their reporting was.
Literally so much of this fucking bullshit comes from over paid cry babies who think your going to put them on the next train to auschwitz just because you speak your mind about the shitty ideology they believe in. Half the anti Semitic bullshit that happened in the last couple of years would of never happened if people had stood up to fucking Isreal and not let them commit a genocide, but we all know that Isreal feeds off of antisemitism.

One of this week's quite belated #grandma recordings mentioned her father Ludwig #Steurenthaler wikitree.com/wiki/Steurenthale…, who reportedly as a kid "didn't know neither Christmas nor cake". He always got upset, when his wife's family would bake #Christmas #cookies ... but he ate them anyway. At one point, he devoured a whole bag of them. He threw up from it and was sick for most of the holidays.
As for other ways of presenting the formalism to the user… I'm not sure. Rigorous/research languages seem to like to not discuss memory management and garbage collectors emerge almost by implication.
C# has no notion of "move" and no good way to bolt one on, but does distinguish types into "pass by copy" vs "pass by reference" and the user controls that. You could imagine making an academic formalization of the C# VM/memory model, pre-Copilot Microsoft used to fund that sort of stuff
