I interpreted "students" to refer to university students. Seems more likely to be Framework's target audience.
Patel mentioned in the announcement presentation that the device was originally developed with a very clear focus on high school students.

Where is the boasting? Did I miss it?
It is confusing that gdscript.com is not the official domain of the language, rather of a language enthusiast, but quite honestly, that one is on the Godot team.
On the About page.

The official GDScript language documentation is here:

Registering gdscript.com and boasting about its search ranking is just gross.

Yes, Slack is bad for all the reasons listed here.
Slack is also bad because it's crap for software devs: it's the year 20-freakin'-23 and I still can't get syntax highlighting in fenced code blocks. Discord does it fine. So does Element on desktop. Why not Slack?! Yes, yes, I know all about uploading a file, but if I want to send a quick snippet to a coworker, I don't want to save a file somewhere just so I can upload it to Slack and then delete it right away. Sheesh.
(It's still better than MS Teams, which is the worst possible of all worlds.)

Focus the chat input and press Cmd + Shift + Enter. Creating a "text snippet" in this way is not as nice as syntax highlighted fenced code blocks would be, but at least it's easier than uploading a file.

Wasn't it the other way around? Instagram disallowed previews on twitter
You're right. Here's a decade-old TechCrunch article about this:

I'd be interested to see the man-hours-needed : people-helped ratio when it comes to user accessibility. There's certainly a threshold where it simply doesn't make sense to put in a man year's worth of work to cater to a proportionally very small percentage of the population.
I'd like to politely challenge your assumption that accessibility concerns are relevant only to a "proportionally very small percentage of the population". It's a common myth in this space.
Disabled people represent between 10% and 20% of the world population, and that's not even including those who don't identify as disabled but would nevertheless benefit from more accessible technology. If you've ever adjusted the text size in your browser or enabled captions while watching media, this group includes you.
