The sad thing is back in the Windows XP days Microsoft had the focus stealing thing pretty much solved. Well okay - I remember you had to install some of the PowerToys or make some registry edits to get at some of the settings. But once setup pretty much nothing could steal focus away from the current window, which was a welcome change from where we had been. That started to break again in Windows 7, and has gotten worse with every release since then.

Admittedly XFCE isn't perfect either, but it's much better behaved than modern Windows.

Challenger had a fleck of paint damage one of its windows on an early mission.

I see enough weird behavior out of the Dells at work and their USB-C docks so I can believe it. Not detecting the dock, not charging from the dock, ports not working on the dock, randomly insisting the dock isn't compatible. Even the machines that end up as folding desktops that never get disconnected from their dock end up doing this stuff. I really had no use for a laptop anyway so I finally convinced them to give me a desktop.

Why not use gvim on Windows? That's my "IDE" on Windows. Though with modern versions of Windows, trying to run vim in the Command Prompt isn't a complete disaster like it was in the past.

"IDE" in quotes because I consider vim a text editor, and I don't try to make it an IDE with a bunch of plugins.

Generally, Google shows the appropriate name based upon where you are located. So for everyone outside of 'murica, it's still the Gulf of Mexico.

I managed to get this: How to Fire a Gun.

So it's at least plausible.

And you'd know they'd gerrymander it into a small handful of high population blue territories and a giant pile of mostly empty red territories.

Canada is one of the founding members of NATO. But so is the USA. Could get interesting, but not in a good way.

I've not had that issue, but knowing Reddit's algorithms all it probably takes is one accidental click on a single post and it will forever keep adding that to your feed after that.
