Why have many monitor when few monitor do trick?

Finally a screen wide enough to display a single error in Java.

[-] EpicFailGuy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

oh dear jesus ... this sent me on a spin

[-] ConstructiveVandalism@piefed.zip 22 points 1 month ago

This is so wrong and right on the same time! 

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

29º represent!

[-] mech@feddit.org 9 points 1 month ago

Wayland isn't ready until it can do that!

[-] ulterno@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago

It actually can.
No extra protocol should be required for it.

Just needs someone to implement it in their compositor.

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

Is there any use to having a DMM with a screen that large? (Off topic, but the o-scope caught my eye then the 'mini o-scope')

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 82 points 1 month ago

I literally cannot conceive of a more efficient arrangement of 17 monitors

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

As long as the monitors and space are squares and all monitors have the same side length

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

And the side of the space for monitors isn't an integer multiple of the monitor side.

[-] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 55 points 1 month ago

Where are you getting so many 1:1 monitors?

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 41 points 1 month ago

Ideal aspect ratio for sudoku

[-] Ratio_Tile@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

Where can I buy this

[-] drmoodmood@lemmy.ml 35 points 1 month ago

Would Lemmy on Firefox look like this on the diagonal screens?

[-] ViaGetty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago

This slaps though! Where are all the diamond monitors at??

[-] quantumcrop@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago

Step 1: Buy This

Step 2: Rotate 45 degrees

Step 3: Idk

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

Hmm, that is kind of cool, in that you can have text on all 4 sides and it's still generally readable. Not really possible for vertical panels...

[-] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

But it reduces the usable space in the middle, as any rectilinearly-designed webpages will have areas on the far left and right that aren't viewable except in small parts while scrolling.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Oh yeah, I was kind of playing devil's advocate. It is certainly also cursed in many ways...

[-] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

where can I get square monitors?

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Bolt cutters should work, no?

an angle grinder might be a better tool for the job

[-] Venat0r@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

you could get the type that's used for large led/micro led displays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBd7_uxrq6c

[-] UxyIVrljPeRl@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

16 should be rotated 37 degree to the left

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Who are you to think you know better than the computer that came up with this

[-] UxyIVrljPeRl@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Well my Machine always believes Displays have to be overlapping

Edit: someone already posted it somewhere is in the thread lmao

[-] ulterno@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago

Make sure to implement the arbitrary angles in your Wayland compositor.

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

arbitrary angles

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I cannot even conceive of how angles not based on 90° increments would render various things without issues. Or why you'd want that.

[-] Zangoose@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

X11 already supports this lol

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

X11 supporting it likely doesn't mean that all software would support it flawlessly. What about Wayland?

[-] Zangoose@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I mean I don't see any reason why a Wayland compositor couldn't support it, it's pretty cursed either way though.

There's a screenshot in one of the other comments in this thread (from owenfromcanda, I think the other screenshots are fake)

[-] psoul@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Also the table layout at my local Chinese restaurant
