YMMV. My first reading of Discworld was in publication order and I loved it!

Anyways, yes, everyone should read this series, one way or another.

That's pretty cool. Works great in my 320x90 kitty!

I used to use the Sawfish window manager ... before it fell out of maintenance, oh and before I switched to DEs with the window manager bolted on.

The thing I miss the most from Sawfish is that it let me resize any window. There are a lot of fixed-sized modal dialogs with scrollbars that wouldn't need them if they were taller, and there's a lot of room on my portrait monitor!

What a nice feature! Really puts the user in control. Is there any maintained WM allowing this? How are modals treated on tiling WMs?

The canonical source for that is https://www.hvsc.c64.org/ and it's awesome.

I appreciate the lack of "talk to a lender" wall.

Compare https://whathemortgage.com/ ← similar, for Dutch mortgages. It supports both annuity and linear interest structures. Also open source which might help you!

... and got an STD, gave it to his wife, and wanted to slip antibiotics to her so she wouldn't find out ...

Oh so that’s why she divorced him lol

She said in 2022, on the record, that Bill's associations with Epstein were a large factor in the divorce.

She didn't go into this much detail - but she could probably confirm/deny a few things if asked about it now.

... and then dedicated his philanthropy efforts to providing vaccinations to the third world.

I have no idea the sequence of events but it makes for a great antihero origin story.

> ... and then dedicated his philanthropy efforts to providing vaccinations to the third world.

That's one way of putting it. Here's another: https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=x80EbmX5xys

88x31 is the size for such badges established in the early 1990s. These days it might need to be pixel doubled to look vintage.

I am in your target audience! I can live from payday to payday on any salary. My only savings are mandatory pensions and my only asset is home equity.

It's not recklessness or stress avoidance. I would not have to work anymore if I had ever taken it seriously. Many people have sat me down and explained budgets and expense tracking to me. Now I download my transactions and categorize them every month, and I look at spending trends... but this information does not influence my behavior.

people holding on to money is what causes other people to be poor.

This is catastrophic. I can't count the number of science and documentary programs they produced over the years.

Revolution is overdue.

I have essential workflows using x2x, xev, and xdotool. Apparently this kind of stuff is contrary to Wayland's security model, so I'm stuck on Xorg, and I'm ok with that.

Out of curiosity, what are these workflows?

I don’t use x2x but use xev and xdotool for automated regression testing of GUI tools.

I can’t find a low-effort, high-portability, low-menory way to do it with Wayland.

Local and also in CI pipelines.

wev+ydotool?

I might be in the wrong Wayland desktop environment; I couldn’t get it to work reliably. Headless Wayland was really complicated when I last tried it, and quite memory heavy.

I’ll try again this month!

Not the GP, but I recall the KeePass password manager using xdotool for its autotype feature. I struggled to get xdotool to work correctly back in 2014 on a Debian 7 personal computer. Not familiar with 'x2x' or 'xev'
