Linux mint + i3 Question

3d 16m ago in linuxmint@lemmy.ml

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 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.

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.

‘A poisoned chalice’: will Doctor Who survive Russell T Davies’s exit?

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.

Hi! What do you like watching on Dropout and why?

"The Parlor Room" is everything I wished Tom Vassal's "Dice Tower" and Wil Wheaton's show had grown into.

I think the big difference is DropOut has such a deep bench of comedians.

Even so, The Parlor Room is my favorite effective and entertaining way to shop for board games and learn the rules.

I wish my second favorite, "Beer and Boardgames" would join DropOut so I could watch them ad free more easily.

It's a delightful spoof of Power Rangers that has more heart than it has any right to.
