There's a similar "feature" in Android that replaced the old Android ad ID. Android rolling out new Ad privacy settings

Emacs is actually one of the easier editors to use in my opinion. The ribbon at the top makes most functionality accessible even without knowing any of the keyboard shortcuts.

Emacs does have an Android version, though it's kind of buggy and not worth it (especially not without a physical keyboard).

Emacs org mode could work if you're okay with tinkering a bit. There are keyboard shortcuts for check/uncheck, and you can do a lot of customization of how it renders in Emacs. Search might be a problem though.

It's so easy to switch to Edge, you don't even have to try! Literally!

Microsoft Edge is actually good, so I sure hope the team building it isn’t about to resort to more tricks to get Chrome users to use it.

Given Microsoft's track record....

Used US and JP qwerty, both are fine after a while, but switching can be annoying (mostly I mix up whether " or @ is Shift-2).

The one thing I hate is the fragmentation of the bottom left cluster. I started out on keyboards with Ctrl Fn Super Alt, but now I much prefer Fn Ctrl Alt Super.

Good data (and program) structures are definitely quite important. Well chosen structures make implementation much easier (and likewise bad structure makes things needlessly difficult).

Also, the film editing example is also an example of a piece table, which makes cutting very simple. Cutting out a section is just a node insertion + update the end of the original node ({0-3} -> {0-1}, {2-3}).

I've had similar issues as well very rarely with other languages. I'd type out a bit and get a syntax error, but when I complete the partial code it won't update the errors. When that happens restarting the language server tends to fix it, so I presume the language server just locks up sometimes.

Page 28 explains that it's based on which animals appear to suffer:

Hypoxia produced by N2 and Ar appears to reduce, but not eliminate, aversive responses in pigs. [...]

Advantages—(1) Nitrogen and Ar do not appear to be directly aversive to chickens or turkeys, and the resulting hypoxia appears to be nonaversive or only mildly aversive to these species. Similarly, N2 and Ar gas mixtures do not appear to be directly aversive to pigs and appear to reduce, but not eliminate, the behavioral responses to hypoxia. [...]

General recommendations—Hypoxia resulting from exposure to Ar or N2 gas mixtures is acceptable with conditions for euthanasia of chickens and turkeys. Likewise, hypoxia resulting from Ar or N2-CO2 gas mixtures is acceptable with conditions for euthanasia of pigs, provided animals can be directly placed into a < 2% O2 atmosphere and exposure times > 7 minutes are used. Use of Ar or N2 is unacceptable for other mammals. [...]

As an aside, I wonder if a PCB (Penenetrative Captive Device) has ever been designed for humans, considering it is recommended over firearms for animals.

That would depend largely on the use-case and specific software. I'm fairly confident that Lyx isn't going to become bloated any time soon, but I can see that happening especially with proprietary alternatives like Word (ignoring for a moment Word isn't on Linux). It all really depends on whether or not a less bloated alternative exists.

It depends on the use case, but for what it's worth on a 4GB Android tablet, I can run VSCode + Chromium/Firefox via Termux without too much trouble. ~2GB of memory is taken by Android, so 8GB on a proper Linux system is more like 3x more memory available. It would take a massive amount of bloat to make an impact. My main concern would like with websites being wasteful with both memory and CPU usage via JS, rather than the browser itself becoming bloated.
