I believe the appropriate pronunciation is "Muahahahaha!".

Evil goatee can be added for maximum effect.

What is it considered when my side monitor is about 10% obscured by my main one because my monitor arm doesn't open wide enough?

[–] CountVon 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Chaotic neutral. Vertical monitor is best code review monitor.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's also best for documentation!

And then there’s this hilarious thing from Swordfish:

A custom, multi-display supercomputer built to hack government systems in the movie Swordfish.

Chaotic neutral is, unironically, the best for a lot of work related tasks. It takes up less space on a desk and the vertical monitor just makes a lot of sense for reading Teams/Slack/whatever, answer emails, reading documents, etc.. I actually picked it up from a friend who uses a vertical curved monitor and he said it was great for coding related work. Don’t skimp on the resolution, though, β€˜cause you’ll probably want 1440p to make sure the words are clear. 4k is fine but probably overkill and needlessly expensive.

When I worked from home I had my personal 34” curved screen in the middle of my desk for AutoCAD and a vertical monitor from work fit perfectly between the main monitor and the edge of the desk. T’was brilliant. And I’m tall so my main screen is high enough up that my laptop fits underneath and I can watch shows and stuff

Verti-hori for lyyyfe.

This might be my ideal setup.

Don't @ me, there's no going back

Tiling WM turns the 21:9 into 2 or 3 panes perfect for reading

For the first time ever, I'm apparently lawful evil.

I don't subscribe to your morality. I have my second monitor on the floor under the desk.I often unplug it and plug in a projector that's pointing at the wall to my left for YouTube while I work. Haha!

I used to be chaotic good for some time before I decided I needed the desk space more.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I do not care for this slander. Vertical screens are used for working on documents or specially for log and debugging visualization.

What does one super ultra-wide the size of 3 count as?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd say more lawful good than neutral.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You say that until you see how poorly the ui fits and you have to run everything windowed if you want to multi task

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I bet it's heaven with a tiling WM

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've wondered about that. Messing around with window sizes seems mildly annoying. Also, what if you have something that wants to be full screen like a game?

Or game + guide, or game + discord? I won't go back to alt-tabbing...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Windows 11 helps a lot, having the start menu in the center is crucial and you can quickly snap into place with the things at the top, if you really want to you can cut it into three sections and use it as three separate monitors but that voids the entire point of one big display, the experience is like nothing else though at its best I would honestly say it can be as good as the best VR, at its worst well it can be as bad as the worst VR.

I'm not on that list LMAO.

Because y'all ask, my monitors are offset diagonally (instead of horizontal or vertical) my main monitor is 4x the size of the other.

What if I have 3 monitors but one is sideways?

[–] WolfLink 5 points 2 months ago

I think Chaotic Evil is the catch-all for complicated cases like that

I'm lawful neutral, except the monitor is portrait

My setup isn't on this.... I'm beyond chaotic evil.

My work setup is six displays, four are 1080p, one is 1440p and the last one is the smallest diagonally, but 4K.

None of them are vertical right now though.

I couldn't fit a second monitor on my desk if it weren't for chaotic neutral orientation.

All of the screens are working now, this was an old laptop that couldn't handle that many outputs. I've got a webcam and a small mirror in the hole between the top screens so I can see if anyone entered the room behind me.

I achieve lawful good while being true neutral by using a single ultra wide curved monitor.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

My work setup is chaotic evil except I don't have the left vertical monitor but all 4 of my monitors are different sizes.

My home setup is just chaotic good.

I count as chaotic evil and embrace it. I have a place for whatever I need to do.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

At home I'm a true neutral, and at work a combination of neutral good and chaotic neutral. And when I bring my work laptop home I'm lawful neutral.

Just need to work on neutral evil, then I'll be all neutral.

chaotic good

In the days of 1024x768, I found turning my one screen over to 768x1024 was great for coding!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's a bit problematic to run websites on a vertical 1080p display, since it seems that most websites default to around 1200 or 1280 wide, so you end up having to horizontally scroll. It's problematic.

IDK why it's so difficult to find 1920x1200 displays so I can put a new vertical display on my system.... It's literally the only reason I don't have a vertical display on my system right now.
