    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).

        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!<

    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

      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 --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.

    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.

    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.

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.
