It's a pretty mature language so I see no reason why it can't be used for general purpose. Though I would check if they have proper libraries that fulfills whatever task you're trying to complete first. For instance, if you're doing machine learning, I would probably stick to Python.

One thing to note is that it's a functional programming language. If your previous exposure to programing in general is limited to Python, you will find the syntax and the general way of doing things confusing.

Definitely not essential in any way for general desktop usage. Its main selling point is that you don't need to use your mouse to control the windows as opposed to other window managers. For people who are used to programs that heavily revolve around keybinds, it makes the desktop completely usable without touching the mouse at all. Also these programs usually come with text based configuration with minimal defaults, and pretty much lets them to customise it however they want.

Both works well, though Blizzard launcher is a bit wonky from my experience. Something about a process went to sleep.

Yup. More work isn't really great. Still, I doubt they can stop this unless they start regulating withdrawal to non-custodial wallet.

I was referring to how you still can't buy them directly, and the method I mentioned above would be a sort of workaround.

Not that it fundamentally solves the problem, but you could buy well known coins, exchange that to Monero on coin exchanges.

Technically, possible, but realistically, not much of a concern. You probably know better than anyone else as to whether you are that much of a person of interest that it warrants an attacker who is motivated enough to:

  • Figure out that you are interested in a GrapheneOS phone
  • Put up an offer and somehow ensure you buy that
  • Rebuild GrapheneOS and load a malicious one into it and hope you don't reinstall one, or use a really fancy trick that it persists across wipes

If it still bothers you, you can install it yourself. GrapheneOS has a web installer through which you can install GrapheneOS. It's really weird how your browser can access all that, but yeah, you can install it within a website and a phone plugged into that computer. Once you do it yourself, I really doubt there's anything malicious left.

I just tried generating an image of a ruler obscured by an object, and it seems to struggle with how much should be obscured (e.g. only 5in should be obscured but the number shows that there's 8 inches behind it).

I remember how light reflection should converge exactly to a single point. I can't find a blog post, but it was definitely there too.
