Some 20 years ago it was kind of an in-joke between a few friends and I that whenever people were coming over, we'd be in the middle of watching top gun. I don't remember how it started.

Top Gun. With all combinations of subtitles and dubs available.
Don't ask.
A friend of mine was in a similar situation. He's by no means an antivaxxer, but he was skeptical about the covid shot due a lot of public misinfo (rushed, mRNA vaccines not having a proven track record, etc), and his stance was in effect "At some point, but right now we don't know enough about the long term effects".
Then a friend of his ended up with long covid, and I think it dawned on him that we don't know the long term effects of the illness itself either.
I'm happy to share that he's now up to speed on all of his vaccines, covid and 5G included.
I thought the collective noun for a bunch of redditors was A Misery
Starting my first proper career in 2008. Or becoming a parent in 2011.
It has some niche use(r)s. I for one use it daily - My preferred keyboard layout is US Dvorak, but as a noggie I sometimes need to type æøåÆØÅ, so I use compose for those, as well as the occasional trademark, copyright, degrees, etc.
Seconding this. I find that sometimes in the comment sections, there is an actual worthwhile exchange of interesting ideas and information, and when I participate in this I sometimes manage to fool people into thinking I'm intelligent.

Downside: People will assume you're dutch. But as far as assumed nationalities go, the Dutch are pretty alright.
EDIT: Disregard, they seem to require email nowadays.
I prefer to keep ctrl where they are. But if you insist on moving left ctrl to caps Lock, that means that bottom left is available for compose.
Compose is best to have on the left side, as the first key struck immediately after it is usually one of the characters on the right. Plus, historically, keyboards that actually had a dedicated compose key had it in the left. Where shift is now, I think.
I wholeheartedly agree. But unfortunately my regulated standardized keyboard would probably be very unpopular, especially in the US.
ANSI keyboard no more. ISO keyboards only.
Caps Lock has no use beyond writing angry replies in the YouTube comment section, so Caps Lock will be replaced by Compose.
Adding a power button, or anything similar such as suspend, in a place where it might be pushed by accident is highly illegal.
Oh, and all keyboards will be US Dvorak from now on. Sure, you can change the layout in software, but the lettering on the keys remain dvorak.
And 50% of all keyboards sold will have to have a penguin instead of a windows logo on the menu key.
Be nice. But not at any cost.
More like a building where several strangers each pay for a flat, and people are free to come and go to different flats as they please.
I also think there would be a couple of distinct groups sticking to their own flats, and none of the others in the building wanting to visit them. These flats are known as "Defederated". Now and then a newcomer will stumble through the door, have a look around, and decide to never open that particular door again.
Note that I'm not mentioning any particular instances, so if you feel offended by this, that's probably on you.
