The Mandalorian Finally Remembered Its Place in Star Wars’ Timeline
The Mandalorian is a show that rarely wants to sit in its worldbuilding. Things are said, they are present in the moment they need to be, and then it moves on to the next thing, like its wandering mercenary hero. But this week it tried something different—taking a leaf out of the book of its Star Wars streaming…

Tech layoffs in 2023: A timeline
After a year in which technology companies announced massive layoffs, 2023 is looking no different — in fact, the year is starting off worse than 2022.
The problem: Big Tech companies like Amazon, Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce and Facebook went on a hiring binge during the pandemic when lockdowns sparked a tech buying spree to support remote work and an uptick in e-commerce, and now they face revenue declines.
It’s not only tech giants who are conducting layoffs. Smaller tech firms were also caught up in pandemic-generated hypergrowth and are now suffering the consequences.
Twitter will stop forcing you onto its “For you” timeline
Twitter’s next update should make it less insistent that you use the “For you” algorithmic timeline, according to a tweet from Elon Musk. He says the app will “stop switching you back to recommended tweets,” and remember if you left it on the reverse-chronological “Following” timeline or a pinned list.
Musk’s promises should be taken with a grain of salt, but I hope the company delivers on this one. Until last month, Twitter had a button that let you set a preference on which version of the timeline you wanted to use. That option went away when the company rolled out a UI that let you swipe between the two timelines, with the app defaulting to opening on the algorithmic one.
Next Twitter update will remember whether you were on For You…
Tech layoffs in 2022: A timeline
Technology companies this year have been hit with global economic turbulence that is slowing growth and leading to widespread layoffs, even as some segments of enterprise spending on IT seem to be holding steady.
According to TrueUp’s tech layoff tracker, there have been 1138 rounds of layoffs at tech companies globally so far this year, affecting 182,605 people.
When global economic headwinds started picking up earlier in the year, many technology companies reacted to fears of an incoming recession by putting the brakes on hiring. The bad news is—amid rising interest rates, the ongoing war in Ukraine, high fuel costs, supply chain issues, and a decline in personal PC sales—most of those freezes have since been accompanied by job cuts, as companies look for ways to reduce operating costs.
