If you have an actual home key. If it’s ctrl+a or (IIRC, AFK) ctrl+← then we’re even.
And if we track hand movements then pressing ! twice may be faster than moving to another key.
But yeah, it’s not at all clear that sudo !! is faster like you’d expect it to be.
“Biggest threat” is not “one and only threat”. We’re well aware of what the US is.
And I guess the parts of Africa where Wagner and other figleaf mercenary groups are most active are conveniently missing data.
