exocortex, to unixporn in Idea / Question about tiling window managers

In my mind there would still exist an Alt+Tab-Overlay that would enable me to switch between programs independent of their position.

exocortex, to unixporn in Idea / Question about tiling window managers

thank you!

That would be possible of course, and I like it. But in my mind this would be reserved for special functions only as it can quickly become gimmicky. (Think these early 2000s rotating cube-workspaces and so on :-) )

A usecase could be that a lock-screen would be further away and locking out would move towards it. Or even turning the view in a different direction?

exocortex, to unixporn in Idea / Question about tiling window managers

Could be. But I would want to have the option. As a middle-ground the second axis (e.g. up/down) could be reserved to special functions only.

  • I could imagine the typical search-field that pops up to quickly search for an application could instead be further up and activating it would simply move the screen up and focus the search field at once.
  • a status-bar that only appears when needed could just exist slightly over the current screen (it would move sideways with the screen) and viewing it would move the screen slightly up.

now you can run a 4000x6000 screen on your 1200x1600 monitor 😉

but seriously thank you. if that existed this might still exist in wayland…

yeah very nice. I imagine it a little like that only more “cluttered” :-) I like it a little more chaotic with more variety of screen sizes and rations. Thanks!

exocortex, to asklemmy in What's the funniest WiFi network name you've seen?

i’ve seen “💩” a while ago. That was pretty funny - just a little inconvenient at times I guess.

exocortex, to comicstrips in "Thanksgiving" by TheOtherEnd

oof that was a let-down

exocortex, to dach in Bürgerentscheid: Mehrheit stimmt gegen eine Straßenbahn für Gundelfingen

Naja Günterstal ist jetzt vielleicht nicht das Beste Beispiel um Straßenbahn+dörflich zu demonstrieren. Das ist ja schon etwas ein gequetscht im Schwarzwald, also nicht so dicht besiedelt.

exocortex, to technology in Apple officially unveils M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max: 3 nanometer, Dynamic Caching GPU, more

What is “dynamic caching”? The article mentions that iris new, but nothing more.

exocortex, to programming in i wanna have fun programming again

If you want to have some fun again, maybe program a little with artsy-fartsy shaders.

Make a little blog that showcases them and write a little animation everyday - or twice a week.

I’ve seen also “shadplay” which lets you easily write and run shaders using rust. There was also this other tool where people could live-code shaders, but I forgot the name

exocortex, to startrek in Another spoken word album is coming from Bill Shatner

I missed it. Will listen. His Common People cover was so perfect. I bought the CD recently. Gotta give this one also a try.

exocortex, to piracy in YouTube's anti-adblock rollout has finally arrived for Firefox users

Don’t know how it is elsewhere, but in Germany there’s a lot of podcasts that are donation bashed. There are some that have their “basic”-content (their main podcast for example) free and additional stuff behind a paywall.

The most famous one that does it like this in the US would be Chapo Trap House.

exocortex, to piracy in YouTube's anti-adblock rollout has finally arrived for Firefox users

True. I just used it as a stand-in for other ways of making content + earning something while doing it.

If everytthing is on Patreon it might be slightly better, but not good

exocortex, to piracy in YouTube's anti-adblock rollout has finally arrived for Firefox users

Maybe it is time that we start to write our favourite youtubers to start developing alternative means of distributing their videos. Patreon and so on.

I feel there will be a lot less people watching YouTube in the future and as a whole many youtubers will see their revenue drop significantly. Watching YouTube as a whole will become less and less bearable. I watch videos without ads on my pc, but on mobile i use the app and endure the videos (for now) as the app is just nicer to use compared to the browser.

But if I have to see ads all the time (also these unskippable 20s ads) I think I’ll simply stop using YouTube all together. about 90% ofy YouTube use isn’t neccessary at all. I’ll just watch it, because I’m too lazy to do anything else.

I could be should read a book instead. Maybe others will do that too in the future?
