  • I would draw the line between s3 and s4 personally.

    But I would never recommend the first three seasons to anyone knowing that the story goes where it goes. I would instead just recommend the books, because they’re definitely better and the only downside is they don’t end, but at this point that’s preferable to the show. And at least the first three seasons are close enough to the book plots that you could watch them afterward as a faithful adaptation, whereas the latter seasons start taking too many liberties that either don’t make sense given previous character development, or are clearly done to increase shock value and get people talking about the latest episode.


  • Meta+arrow keys to manage windows: left or right to get a split, up to maximize.

    Meta+pgup/pgdn to switch workspaces. Add shift to move the current window with you.

    Those are the main ones I use all the time, but there’s a full list (some that aren’t bound by default) in the settings. I would probably remap pgup and pgdn to something closer to my fingers on a regular keyboard, but I use an ergo split 60% so I already have those keys on my home row.

    Tbh GNOME feels best with a combo of mouse and keyboard, like Meta+mousewheel scrolling lets you switch workspaces very smoothly. And I think I had to map this myself, but I use right click drag + Meta to resize windows dynamically. But the above keys let me do 90% of what I want to with windows.

    If you really want a fully keyboard-driven window management scheme you should probably check out a standalone window manager. I love sway personally.



  • Nah the show was crap from the jump. The very first episode is just as insulting to actual mystery fans as every other episode. Stephen Moffat should never be allowed control of a show.

    There’s a two-hour teardown of Sherlock on hbomberguy’s YouTube channel, which I find much more entertaining than actually watching the show.

    I didn’t even realize Dexter was on this list – the first season was pretty great but every season after that got so much worse lol



  • I think all the Fargo seasons are good except for the gangsters in Chicago (?) one… Jesus I was so mad I watched that whole season. Complete waste of time. I think it would have been better without Rock and Schwartzman, I thought both of their performances were laughably bad, but even with a recast the plot just felt meandering and ultimately hollow. The fact that they made it one episode longer than the other seasons, and that that extra episode was an attempt at art that ended up just being even more boring, adds insult to injury.





  • Sherlock and Game of Thrones shouldn’t even be on this list, much less top 10… GoT for it’s absolutely abysmal ending (the whole last season is pretty shit), which basically ruins the rest of the show as well, and Sherlock because it’s absolute dogshit. Seriously, it’s like the opposite of what a mystery show is supposed to be; it actively gaslights viewers and makes fun of them for trying to solve the mysteries in the show, while not actually giving you the information you need. Watch hbomberguy’s video on it for an exhaustive takedown, but tl;dr the show does not deserve your time or attention.










  • Honestly I think if you lean into the grey hairs it can totally work for you. I understand wanting to stop the balding (assuming it’s actually happening and not just you imagining things – see a dermatologist), but just because you have some grey hairs doesn’t mean you’ll look like an old man in a couple years. You can always dye it if you want to, but as someone who’s had some grey in my hair since my 20s, it’s really not going to age you that much on its own, and some people will think it looks great.
