2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Watch a full screen movie while you do something on another monitor. Virtual desktops can't do that.

    Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

    Accelerated Learning Experience

    Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

    I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

    I'm either immersed or i multitask. You can do both?

    Then again, my sis Works on her notebook while reading a magazine while watching tv while listening music on the smartphone she uses to chatt. Pure stress to me.

    [–] captainjaneway@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

    Yeah I can do both. Most movies are dialogue forward so I'm not always watching the screen. And then when there is a break in my game (loading screens, waiting for something to happen, mindless tasks) I can watch the screen. I only do it with games like Minecraft, Satisfactory, Cities Skylines, etc.

    How do you keep your concentration on two monitors? When I had two monitors, I put black wallpaper on the second monitor because the usual ones distracted me

    Watch a full screen movie while you do something on another monitor.

    Just pause the movie, do the thing, and then go back to watching the movie.

    [–] captainjaneway@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

    Yeah I guess you could do something completely different than what I said.

    You can pin the movie to all desktops in one monitor, and combine the powers of the virtual desktops, and the other monitor(s)

    [–] captainjaneway@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Oh yeah for sure I could use virtual desktops in addition. But a single monitor doesn't accomplish what I said. Hence why I brought it up as a counter point.

    Why am I comparing moitors to virtual desktops?

    I don't know


    Does it make sense?

    No


    Do i use my 2nd virtual desktop more than my 2nd monitor?

    Yes


    Am I lost in what I am trying to prove?

    Absolutely.

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

    did you even read the full thread which provides the context you're neglecting?

    No.

    I have but it's long past bedtime here and I'm starting to lose my ability to comprehend things in english. Sorry
