  • I’ve not used a ultrawide before as I actually like the natural separation that the 2 or 3 monitors I have brings, it’s easy for me to go “this belongs on this screen and that on the other one”. I use the tilling in KDE for further breaking windows up if I’m so inclined.

    But, if you’re already using a tiling manager as your DE then I’d say go for the ultrawide, slightly less desk real estate and you can already get your windows exactly how you want pretty easily with i3, and you can’t argue that when you play a movie or game it’s going to feel impressive.





  • I’ve been really happy with it; I’ve been using it for templating reports at work for months now. I’ve just started experimenting with using jinja to pretemplate my template lol.

    I’ll probably continue down that track to try and automate my workflow away so I can focus on less tedious things, but after you get used to the box encapsulation it becomes fairly easy to work with!












  • Tangentially related, but I’ve been feeling like perhaps we’ve been jumping the gun with Lemmy and Kbin…

    Maybe it would have made more sense, at least from an interoperability statepoint, to make an activitypub User protocol that can be selfhosted easily. So instead of making a new account for each Lemmy or Kbin instance someone has, you can instead connect your activitypub account to it.

    Additionally as I know hosting has been an increasing problem around here, perhaps it would have been better to make instances single focused message boards ( i.e. just political humor, just animemes, just 196 etc.) So that the instance host can more easily manage moderation and hosting costs without ballooning things they might not necessarily care about to also be hosted by them.

    This is just idle musings though, I’m not sure of how the community would be receptive to such thoughts.
