I'd argue against the example image being damning in the first place because it's fairly obvious they're both derived from the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, which is well passed the point of being public domain
I have a two monitor set up going right now hooked up to a dual display KVM switch. Sadly, a recent power outage has caused some finicky behavior in either my KVM or my secondary monitor, since it comes in and out. Will get around to debugging my setup once I have some time this holiday season, but I was also debating on...
I've not used a ultrawide before as I actually like the natural separation that the 2 or 3 monitors I have brings, it's easy for me to go "this belongs on this screen and that on the other one". I use the tilling in KDE for further breaking windows up if I'm so inclined.
But, if you're already using a tiling manager as your DE then I'd say go for the ultrawide, slightly less desk real estate and you can already get your windows exactly how you want pretty easily with i3, and you can't argue that when you play a movie or game it's going to feel impressive.
I've been really happy with it; I've been using it for templating reports at work for months now. I've just started experimenting with using jinja to pretemplate my template lol.
I'll probably continue down that track to try and automate my workflow away so I can focus on less tedious things, but after you get used to the box encapsulation it becomes fairly easy to work with!
If you like power metal try visigoth (I think their drummer does an amazing job at controlling the dynamics and pace of their songs) and Fellowship (I've never heard any other band come nearly as close at something uplifting and motivating); I really like Glint from fellowship as an example of that! It's the "response" to the "call" from Oak and Ash earlier in the album
Level 5, I still go back to play dark cloud 1 and 2 every couple years. Now if they'd just make the third one I stead of another professor Layton or yokai watch that'd be great!
Researchers have detected one of the most powerful cosmic rays ever seen slamming into Earth — but they have no idea what caused it or where it came from. The extremely energetic particle, which has been named after a Japanese goddess, arrived from the direction of a void in the universe where almost nothing is known to exist,...
Seems like a good way to get smited, naming random (probably evil) energy that came from nowhere space (but not the sun) after the head goddess of Shintoism. Maybe Susanoo or Orochi would have kept the theme while not angering a top tier god.
I’ve never used a 3d printer before but want to get one. I have a bit experience in blender but not too much. My question is: How do you model for a 3d print? For example, if I want to print a hollow cylinder, I go into blender, create cylinder and delete the side faces. If I print this, the walls will be pretty thin. Do I...
I just made a Dremel safety jig in tinkercad for work. Fairly simple to work with and it'll get the job done for sure, but editing parts later can be a bit of a pain
Looking for those games that you may have heard about but never tried until you got a Deck. Or old games on systems you never had that you’re trying for the first time.

So I did not make this helmet, but what I bought was an unwearable, unhistoric shell of metal. Had to remove the strap that was riveted inside the helmet because it was mounted so fat back that it would strangle you if you were to try to wear it. Had to drill out holes and install with the help of a friend, vervelles (the brass...
