Thanks to @redcalcium@lemmy.institute for providing a better link. This post originally linked to tomshardware.
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:
Also “Ideal monitor rotation for programmers”: https://sprocketfox.io/xssfox/2021/12/02/xrandr/
Jeez, that blog post is so much better than that article.
Wholeheartedly agree. I’ve edited the OP accordingly.
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
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!<
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.
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.
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
The time is flying fast this year…
Two facts:
- I love people doing weird things with tech.
- I absolutely hate this.
Thanks, I hate it!
I’m just going to leave this here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge’s_law_of_headlines
This doesn’t work on Wayland lol
Based, X forever staying relevant.
Time to update “Are we Wayland yet?” With this breaking lack of feature support.
Have you tried it? There is wlrandr, and at least according to how the command line looks, it could be supported.
Are you talking about wlr-randr? Because its
--transformargument only acceptsnormal|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.Have you?
well expecting to use a tool made for X on Wayland is expecting a boat paddle to move a car.
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.
Mods, remove his balls
Someone please tell me how to do this on Wayland. “c/unixporn, here I come!”
Should be as simple as a shader on-top of Weston or sum 🤷
No.
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.
I never knew people could microdose deliriants
Benadryl is basically that.
Hell
Thank God for betteridge’s law of headlines
