It would be funny af if there was a way to make the computer think the screen size was infinite (just for the mouse) so you could send your cursor 20 miles away and never find it again.
KDE: 500000% size increase and then…
Fooled us all. That’s a tanning booth.
Ow my neck
I struggle with my neck and 3 screens. I’ve gotten really good at doing a bunch of shit at once on one screen so my neck doesn’t hurt as much lol
KDE shaky shaky
Go to mouse l settings, make your cursor larger and change the contrast. So when the curse is black and it goes over something white and then white when it goes over black
I had a similar matrix of screens at my old job: Seismic survey observer desk. Three rows tall, four columns wide.
They weren’t all connected to the same PC, though; If I remember correctly:
- Top row was one PC (linux)
- Middle row was another (linux)
- Bottom left was its own PC (It ran msdos 6.22. Excellent OS for realtime stuff!)
- Bottom right was its own (linux)
- middle two at the bottom was windows.
They were all connected to a Raritan KVM switch, so I used that to select which row to control. The exception was on bottom left and bottom right which had a dedicated keyboard and mouse.
I have a picture of it somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it.
you’d love synergy. it’s a client you install on multiple devices and allows you to share one keyboard and mouse across as many devices as you want.
you can even share the clipboard too.
Well aware of it. Used it between the top two rows.
Bottom left was its own PC (It ran msdos 6.22. Excellent OS for realtime stuff!)
really? I used 6.22 back in the day - what’s it still being used for these days?
Not sure if it’s still in use today, but the above description was 2008 through 2012. Msdos was used for “gun timing”, which basically amounted to extreme precision when it came to opening or shutting some solenoid valves. The computer had a GPS input and a bunch of serial outputs, and a control line (also serial).
The control line sent instructions of which solenoid to open when, a time reference was determined by the GPS, and you can probably guess what the serial outputs were for.
Where the fuck is the image? Not loading for me
Check monitor number 8, it may have opened there.
Loads fine for me. It’s someone sitting in front of a desk with 15 large monitors surrounding them in a semicircle, 3 monitors stacked on top of one another in 5 columns.
That’s why you have eyes in the panel.
No, seriously: what are they for? They exist since X and at that time, displays were 800p max.
People have been losing their cursors since the Xerox labs days.
I now undestand whom that KDE cursor is for?
KDE: just wiggle it
wiggle it until it’s the size of a monitor, and if you’re brave, it’ll take over EVERYTHING.
I love it that KDE didn’t limit the growing of it :)
Oh, it’s limited. But you will only discover it if you look at the bug-tracker.
i still do this for fun about once a week or so
One of the few features that I’m missing from niri :')
Where’s we are going: https://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/
And people rib me for having 3 screens. Yes yes, tell me how much cancer they are giving me per square second.
I have recently pared down to 4 screens and yeah, people take seem to get great enjoyment out of giving me shit. I’ve been receiving this very meme image for a good while. Not sure what triggered the re-run of this one in particular.
Wait what? They give cancer? Outgassing or something?
There’s no way he ever looks at the top row.
this is why he can’t find his mouse.
Having worked with such setups before, yes the top row is used, infrequently but watched
