  • 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.


  • I’m in software. The company gives us access and broadly states they’d like people to find uses for it, but no mandates. People on my team occasionally find uses for it, but we understand what it is, what it can do, and what it would need to be able to do for it to be useful. And usually it’s not.

    If I thought anyone sent me an email written with AI, I would ask them politely but firmly to never waste my time like that again. I find using AI for writing email to be highly disrespectful. If I worked at a company making a habit out of that, I would leave.















  • If coding is the means to an end they want, they will learn it.

    I started learning how to program because I wanted to mod Halo 20y ago. Gaming is often a motivator. I had a co-worker who started in the 80s, whose only option to play games on his C64 was to type up a bunch of BASIC from a magazine. He had to take care not to make any typos, then play the game, and then didn’t have any persistent tape to save it to, so he just lost it all on a reboot. Turns out, if you’re “forced” to type code in all the time, you start to figure out which bits do what, and you start changing it to behave how you want.

    “Hacking” could probably work as a motivator, though with great power comes great responsibility.

    But yeah, a kid won’t be interested in programming unless they see it as their only option to do what they want to do. PICO8 might be a good entry. Or something like Minecraft modding.
