I’m the opposite. I can’t have two monitors of the same size, because then it’s like they’re both primaries in my brain. With the chaotic good arrangement, it’s very clear which one runs the games and which one runs YouTube or what have you
This would 100% be my setup if I could use more than two monitors. I am incapable of having just one project at at time open, and this would just work so well for me.
I’m both chaotic good and lawful neutral, depending if it’s for my job or not. I suppose that’s a fair assessment of the difference between my professional character and home character.
I switched to Wayland and it makes a huge difference. Pulling a window over to my higher dpi monitor makes it go … clearer. It looks just like how you’d want it to look.
I like it so much I refuse to accept my status as chaotic good and want an exception for chaotic good wayland users with correct dpi compensation to be categorized as chaotic neutrals and lawfuls
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
I have four screens from four different manufacturers, with three different sizes, three different resolutions, two different aspect ratios and two different refresh rates.
Two of these are resurrected from the dead of which one has a high voltage cold cathode driver externally plastered to it’s back (because the internal failed and there was no space inside) and the other one shining from every pore because I “replaced” one cold cathode tube by plastering the “replacement” tube somewhere in the housing of the monitor to fool the driver into thinking all tubes are fine (one was defect, the driver doesn’t work without every tube connected and putting the replacement in the place where it should belong is too much work).
I am basically the evil necromancer of chaotic evil.
I hope an Imgur link is fine. If not please tell me which (multi) image hoster is fine here on lemmy. Here are a few pictures I took of my setup and the necromanced parts
What is the perceived problem, then? 99% of sites these days are all built with kits that support Firefox just as well as Chromium, the dev choice to not support or intentionally lock out Firefox is either just laziness (not wanting to deal with any potential problems or not given enough time to run full Firefox user tests) or incentive driven (middle manager has word from high manager that they can’t support firefox because highest manager makes bank from Chromium).
The technical limitation isn’t actually there in the modern web, it’s almost always a manufactured limitation. I think I’ve only ever encountered a single website that didn’t actually technically work on Firefox, and that was Weather Underground. Which they ended up fixing after 3 months or so.
Doesn’t that sound like a good description of a problem?

There’s gonna be a hell of a lot more of them, buddy. You’re gonna have to hang your cat on your balcony to get an estimate of future weather if you want to avoid using one of them how-are-these-even browsers.
Imagine yourself as a homosexual man in Iran (should be easy). Would you say that hiding that big part of you from everyone and even go as far as marrying a woman you don’t even like just not to arouse suspicion makes the problem disappear? Just the fact that you need to spoof your useragent to view a shitty website, the developer of which would (should) die under a car one day 🤞, is a solid proof that you will soon be that homosexual man in Iran.
My SO just had something similar pop up yesterday. She was running into weird errors on her Chromebook, so I had her change her user agent to Chrome on Windows. Everything magically worked. Hmm…
I think the closest is chaotic good although I have three monitors, two smaller ones on each side and a bigger one in the center so kinda lawful good too.
I was recalling a project in perl, which doesn’t have a variety of types. If you add values, you get a scalar, which will be a float if the numbers are not integers.
I am aware my statement isn’t true in several languages
I just recalled, in that project I did have to divide money, which would leave fractional cents
It was a budgeting program, I could put rogue cents where I liked. I think my solution made accounts due $12.553333333… (internally 1255.3333…) each pay period get 12.54, so after n/3 pay periods they’d be 2n cents over. I could deal with that imprecision.
Some programming languages use different rounding method. Might bite you in the ass if you’re not aware of it and using multiple programming language in your application to handle different areas.
You’re telling me there’s someone that has more than 20 million dollars? /s
If you’re handling people’s money you should probably be using arbitrary-precision arithmetic. I mean, you might get away with a long int, but finance is serious business and the amount of data you’re going to be processing relative to your funding is probably going to be small.
Not the project I was thinking about above, but at work my team delivered software handling 13 digit numbers, but that’s in COBOL which does fine with money
