This is basically an article promoting two Tweets (something like Toots, but on a monetized closed source for-profit platform run by a highly questionable billionaire).

Here:

Jeez, that blog post is so much better than that article.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Wholeheartedly agree. I've edited the OP accordingly.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I highly recommend her blogs/fediverse posts, she does lots of cool things with computers and ham radio

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

"What's stopping you from developing for diagonal mode?"

Diagonal Mode

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

No, it's the lack of support in web APIs. Every api is based on width and height, viewport width, viewport height. Nothing allows you to find the angle of the display, rotate DOM elements to align, wrap based on diagonal boundaries etc.

Ackshually the social network you're mentioning has changed its name so instead of "Tweets" they should be "Xeets" (like sheets por shits if you prefer).

!I love how people refuse to use its new name!<

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I've opted for zitter personally

I agree with Crab Man.

It's amazing how something so innocuous can provoke such a viscerally disgusted reaction in me.

Technology was a mistake. It's time to return to the wilderness.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It was a mistake to come down from the trees if you ask me. These days there's even people saying we should of stayed in the water were life was simpler.

Of course there's the total extremists who think life was better as a single celled microbe. Those people are always hard to talk to.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

We should HAVE stayed in the water. The real fringe radicals are those who defend the idea that crystals are alive. I think they're lesser lifeforms who don't deserve social security

Is it really 1st of April already

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

The time is flying fast this year...

[-] [email protected] 43 points 2 years ago

Two facts:

  1. I love people doing weird things with tech.
  2. I absolutely hate this.
[-] [email protected] 33 points 2 years ago

Thanks, I hate it!

This doesn't work on Wayland lol

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Based, X forever staying relevant.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Time to update "Are we Wayland yet?" With this breaking lack of feature support.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Have you tried it? There is wlrandr, and at least according to how the command line looks, it could be supported.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Are you talking about wlr-randr? Because its --transform argument only accepts normal|90|180|270|flipped|flipped-90|flipped-180|flipped-270, not any transformation matrix. Maybe its just a limitation of the command line tool and it could be modified, I don't know, I haven't been too deep in the code or the protocol specifications. It also looks like it only works with wlroots based compositor.

well expecting to use a tool made for X on Wayland is expecting a boat paddle to move a car.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

I'd rather get three mid range 1440p monitors , stack two horizontal and the third over the two horizontals but offset. It would probably still cost less than one of those ultrawides.

Who am I kidding. My cheap ass would do neither.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Mods, remove his balls

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago
[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

Someone please tell me how to do this on Wayland. "c/unixporn, here I come!"

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Should be as simple as a shader on-top of Weston or sum 🤷

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

I see their point, but they need to stop microdosing if they lack the self-control or memory to keep the walls from getting a bit runny.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I never knew people could microdose deliriants

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Benadryl is basically that.

Thank God for betteridge's law of headlines

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Redcalcium provided a much better link. I've edited my post accordingly.

I mean everyone can buy this, they only need money.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

EDIT: Uh, this comment used to hold a reply to a completely different comment elsewhere. Disregard.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Perfect, just what I need if I set my laptop on my laptop stand the wrong way!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I want to stack 3 like that and be all kewl cyb3r-h4ckz0rz.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Now I know what I will do when I hack a NSA/CIA computer! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

All us ricers, assemble!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I would constantly be turning my head, even though I wouldn't need to, if my monitor were rotated at a weird angle like that.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

If we need to start supporting diagonals, I'm quitting webdev for good

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
