Monitor Alignment Alignment Chart : programmer

Chaotic good here. They have different DPI too so you're never quite sure where your mouse is going to end up.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 11 months ago

OK, calm down Satan....

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

You can use a software called LittleBigMouse to make this better. It's really nice in my experience with 2 1080p screens and one 4k. All roughly the same size

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I spend hours aligning their bottoms and virtual position so now my three screens transfer the mouse exactly in their vertical middle.

I also use a tiling WM with tons of workspaces and if I switch workspaces my mouse gets reseted into the middle of the workspace anyway.

where does diagonal fall?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago

This is horrendous. I love it

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

I feel like all in the chaotic column should have at least one diagonal monitor.

[–] popcar2 14 points 11 months ago

Hell, probably.

Imagine having to manually adjust your tint setting. NTSC, man. Literally shaking in my SMH.

Am I the only chaotic neutral here? I code on the right and do everything else on the left.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I'm chaotic neutral but with a third monitor on the left.

Nope. I'm a new convert and I love it. Laptop monitor to the left of the big landscape for random screens. It's fantastic

what about having a tv across the room as a second monitor?

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

If you only use the TV to watch media, you're lawful neutral. If you use it for gaming or anything else, you're chaotic good.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

It's still going to be better than screen on budget laptops. I am convinced my laptop's screen is 30Hz and it surely wasn't manufactured to produce colors.

Ummmm... how about 2 vertical monitors above each other?

That's how I got this long ass screenshot, for example:

I don't know how else to do that, so I fixed it with hardware ʘ‿ʘ

But otherwise, true neutral.

Ultrawide flipped vertical?

Hard disagree. More monitors is morally better.

Vertical monitors are good for code, too.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

One monitor isn't true neutral. It's broke-ass bitch. That's me. I'm a broke-ass bitch.

If you don't care about them matching, thrift stores can have some really good deals.

Tilted 22 degree to maximize the potential line length that can be displayed.

At home: Chaotic good but with three monitors that are all different sizes

At work: Two monitors side by side, and then one above them

Not a programmer though, I make videos

I'm Chaotic Neutral (although my vertical monitor is on the left). It was an experiment that stuck because I like being able to read more lines of code at once.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

I'm pretty much chaotic evil, with a laptop.

One thing I will say: anyone who has a single window spanned across multiple monitors needs battering. "Oh, yah, I fookin' love 'aving un two-centimeter black bar in middul of me Word doccumant". Unhinged sociopaths, all of them.

50% of web developers: Chaotic Neutral
Salespeople: Lawful Neutral
Programmers (and the other 50% of web developers): Unaligned, we know how to use shortcuts.
