I think most series are constrained to their respective runtimes and while those constraints do shape the nature of the themes they have the capacity to explore, it isn't always a problem even for series with fewer than 10 episodes. I haven't watched either of those recently enough to speak on them, but I think 10-episode series have become a de facto standard that is problematic for many shows and seasons. Severance S2 and The Bear S3 come to mind as recent examples. Both tend to experiment with the form of episodic storytelling in a way which, while interesting and worthwhile in my opinion, ultimately serves to make their respective season arcs less cohesive as a direct result of that constraint.

The same can be said for many episodes in 10-episode seasons, and due to that constraint those examples are more disruptive to plot progression and tend to be counterbalanced with episodes which rush progression but aren't actually good.

I'm a millennial and always felt this way, but after my industry of expertise was recently shut down domestically I moved into an entry level role elsewhere and it's now much worse, even with semi-decent labour protections in my country

Moto g play 2024. Happy with it. My flatmate just got a new Galaxy, which cost about 9x as much. For my use case, I'm missing a brighter display, esim support, and gorilla glass. That's not worth paying 9x. My battery also lasts significantly longer.

They're already looking at ending in-person town hall meetings due to the backlash they're getting. Which will just cause constituents to seek out their reps in an unmanaged setting

It's already down for me

There's caveats to that these days. Official streaming, in practice, sure. But with a debrid/similar service and sufficient bandwidth, you can pirate stream files with equivalent quality to uncompressed Blurays

Usually a can opener, after the tabs on the woolies brand cans fall off. Thanks, duopoly!

This one & LaD Gaiden (The man who erased his name) are more story DLC's for Yakuza 7 & 8, respectively. Just, they are big enough to merit standalone releases in RGG's opinion. LaD Gaiden was essentially an experiment in releasing this way, and it went well. But the new game isn't Yakuza 9, if that makes sense.

GNOME on my laptop, using the trackpad. Three-finger swipe up to switch tasks/search. Two-finger tap for context menus. Three-finger tap for things like opening in a new tab, or closing a tab. Simple, intuitive, efficient, comfortable.

I think you can just add archive.md or archive.ph etc before the URL of the article, e.g. archive.ph/https://vox.com/whatever to skip that. I've never had to do any captchas this way
