    The steam deck does have a gyroscope for sensing rotation... Just saying.

    Give me a stabilized image on a spinning display.

    [–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    That feature has always been annoying to me, even on phones. I always turn it off because "I" will control whether my screen rotates or not. Maybe sometimes I don't want it to rotate when I turn the phone (like when I'm viewing building plans at work and want to orient the screen with how I'm looking at the building I'm standing in).

    Not sure how standard this is, but on Pixel phones the default is no auto rotation, but when the phone detects rotation it will display a tiny rotate button in the corner of the screen for just a few seconds. Best of both worlds IMO.

    That rotate button is incredibly annoying. I turned off auto-rotate for a reason and the button obscures other information displayed in that corner of the screen. Wish I could turn the button off too.

    What information is in your navigation bar?

    I’m just sitting here patiently waiting for hexagonal displays.

    [–] Adler180@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

    Hexagons are the bestagons.

    [–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    If we could get edge-to-edge displays, hexagonal panels with a spherical radius will be the next big thing for battle stations.

    (By spherical, I mean its curved so it can be tiled into a sphere.)

    Let's go one step further and build a monitor orb with a chair in the center.

    [–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

    I mean, yes. That's what I was getting at.

    something like this:

    but better.

    [–] PropaGandalf@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

    You mean VR?

    [–] Nariom@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    What about a pyramid tablet?

    [–] hperrin@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

    Only if I also get a dodecahedral phone.

    [–] key@lemmy.keychat.org 1 points 10 months ago

    Needs to be circular to maximize efficiency

    Finally, I can calmly watch the performance of my stock portfolio

    [–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 18 points 10 months ago

    -22° so cool

    [–] eldain@feddit.nl 11 points 10 months ago

    Is someone already working on a trapezoid desktop environment?

    An article that links to a Tweet that links to a blog post with the actual useful information.

    Only for Xorg. Wayland guys need to wait a bit :)

    Any time some obscure Linux feature is mentioned I see this xkcd comic in my mind: https://xkcd.com/619/

    [–] Octopus1348@lemy.lol 4 points 10 months ago

    Well, Flash is now dead so nobody actually does that anymore.

    [–] koncertejo@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I've got two vertical monitors on either side of my one large horizontal monitor right now and I am loving it

    [–] sudoroot@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

    The 'ol tie fighter layout, nice

    [–] Muscar@discuss.online 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    You failed with the image, though. The screen image isn't supposed to rotate with the display.
