i3wm is my favorite window manager, but I find I can get a good 90% out of either Gnome or KDE Plasma, with a bit of settings fiddling.

I think I added "Metacity" plugin to Gnome, to get proper tiling. It was okay.

In KDE Plasma, I just poke the settings to maximize windows by default, and enable keyboard shifting windows into half screen increments.

It's an annoying compromise, but it's nice not to have all the jank that comes with tuning my i3wm setup to add basic features that KDE Plasma ships with.

Edit: And I'll be reading along, hoping someone else has a better answer than mine!

I've watched Doctor Who in the wee hours of Sunday night on broadcast TV, on rented VHS tapes, animated on the BBC iPlayer, purchased as mp3s from Big Finish Audio, purchased from random providers in the early days of digital media, streamed through complicated VPNs from BBC iPlayer, and purchased or borrowed from the library on DVD.

But Disney's shit-tier steaming (and streaming, sometimes) app for Android is what managed to kill my Doctor Who fandom.

I'll catch up using my DVD player - which still works reliably - whenever I happen to catch a sale on the latest seasons at a used book store.

Long live Doctor Who.

And may Disney Plus rot in infamy.

Great points.

My family watches as a group all the time, and Doctor Who features prominently.

But my DVD purchases probably aren't being accounted for in their stats.

Also, Disney almost certainly lied to the BBC about streaming popularity, to save on license fees or something.

I think I just read "we're spending big on AI because it maximizes our profits. Now we aren't as cost competitive. Let's talks about what else we can cut to save money." before I stopped reading.

Let me take a wild guess: It'll be about using AI to deny claims to recoup the money spent on AI...

Whether the article goes there or not, that's the playbook.

Epic! A convertible Seabring is such a delightful vehicle.

I'm pretty sure this is the real reason my taste for spicy food advanced so far after I became a parent.

It's nice to have a snack that the kid won't loot and empty.

I like this better.

The threaded conversations allow a useful interesting discussion to continue, even after some random person's comment details half the participants.

A little more time and a lot more money. But the savings will be huge. The savings will make the current era of extravagant burning piles of money look like a sound investment. You'll be glad you got in on the ground floor...

We do need a little more time, though. And money.

I have good news!?

...This isn't a particularly gendered problem.

Many firms are now slashing their number of new hires.

Yes. This sucks.

The main cause of this is artificial intelligence

Unlikely.

The main cause for a chill in hiring tends to be uncertainty about the future. And we know that folks are feeling high uncertainty about the future, right now. (Gestures broadly at current headlines in general and "Not The Onion", in particular.)

Historically, uncertainty about the future is particularly high when the people have low confidence that existing and new laws will be applied in a predictable manner.

I'll leave exactly what changed on that front as a thought exercise.

AI is interesting, but it is not the primary cause of the chill in hiring new graduates.

Protect the Dolls, for those unfamiliar. Neat.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be buying one at the first opportunity.

My other action figures are going to have to stand in the shadow of the glory of "it's just Jack Black, I guess".

(No sarcasm. I'm really going to buy this. I love the idea of Jack Black just playing "Jack Black".)
