berg, All us ricers, assemble!
UntouchedWagons,
trash, I agree with Crab Man.
Gork, 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.
BeardedBlaze, This doesn’t work on Wayland lol
kugmo, Based, X forever staying relevant.
fruitycoder, Time to update “Are we Wayland yet?” With this breaking lack of feature support.
waigl, Have you tried it? There is wlrandr, and at least according to how the command line looks, it could be supported.
BeardedBlaze, Have you?
GermainRobitaille, (edited ) Are you talking about wlr-randr? Because its
–transform
argument 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.
LogicalDrivel, I’m just going to leave this here …m.wikipedia.org/…/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines
kerrigan778, No.
TDCN, Is it really 1st of April already
arthur, The time is flying fast this year…
Dirk, 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).

redcalcium, (edited ) Also “Ideal monitor rotation for programmers”: sprocketfox.io/xssfox/2021/12/02/xrandr/
Ephera, Jeez, that blog post is so much better than that article.
neidu2, Wholeheartedly agree. I’ve edited the OP accordingly.
Cysioland, I highly recommend her blogs/fediverse posts, she does lots of cool things with computers and ham radio
peopleproblems, (edited ) “What’s stopping you from developing for diagonal mode?”
Diagonal Mode
hyperhopper, 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.
kronarbob, “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
Wolfwood1, 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!<
Some_Dumb_Goat, I’ve opted for zitter personally
