I think I'm close to the end of Bowser's Fury, so I may be able to finish that in a sitting or two. I'm also playing Shredder's Revenge in a co-op setting, and the DLC announcement was a good reminder to get back into that (think we're also nearing the end of the story). And there's a Splatfest, so I feel somewhat obligated to choose a team and play a little, though I've definitely been on a Splatoon 3 break lately.

Switching between a few workspaces looks cool, but once you have 10+ programs open, it becomes an unmanageable hell that requires memorizing which workspace each application is in

I think a big part of the problem is Gnome's limitation of a 1-dimensional workspace list. I don't think I'd be able to use that many workspaces in a flat list, Gnome/Mac style, though I find a 4x2 grid of workspaces manageable. But of course I use a DE that has options. :)

and which hotkey you have each application set to.

I wonder if this is also part of the issue. If you're arranging windows spatially across workspaces, it seems antithetical to use shortcuts to skip directly to one window or the other vs. moving through workspaces. Again, quickly navigating workspaces spatially is easy when your workspaces can be arranged into rows, and not just as a single long list.

United Artists came about as a reaction to this, founded by some of the biggest stars at the time: Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford and others.

Desert Golfing. I've been playing this one for almost a decade now, probably got my $2 worth.

This isn't my area of expertise, but I believe you trademark something by simply using it with disclaimer language/the ™ symbol to warn others to stay away, that it's yours. The ® symbol is used if you've taken the step of officially registering it and it's been reviewed/approved by the government, like with AMA, so it's considered stronger.

And unlike patents/copyright, trademarks last forever as long as you keep using them.

With all due respect, wasn't this exact topic posted 17 hours ago and has 200+ comments? It's still in the top few if you sort by Hot or Active.

Have you tried saying "shiboleet"?

Very nice! We had those books at school and during reading time all the guys in my class would race to get Mr. Strong.

I've started doing a modified version of this too. If there's any kind of roadblock in front of the content, I'll ask myself to be honest about how important it's likely to be to me... and maybe like seven or eight times out of ten I'll just close it and move on, no regrets.

I apply this thinking to captchas as well, though my skip rate is probably a bit lower.

Yeah, so did I. And after the deb finished installing, my firewall showed it wget a snap.
