When I receive a notification I don't need to switch away from my editor to check it, I just glance to the left and continue with my work or react if needed. Constantly switching windows in front of me would be so much more distracting for me.

Also, being able to read docs and google stuff on a vertical monitor on the right, while still seeing the code in front of me is incredibly convenient. Again, I can't imagine switching away from my editor to the docs and to the code again.

I need to be able to effortlessly switch attention between code, tests, logs, docs, notifications. If I can't do that by just shifting my sight in the right direction, my brain doesn't function.

It's so interesting how different people are!

  • Left (horizontal) - communicators, btop, Spotify.
  • Middle (horizontal) - browser with GitLab, terminals and editors, main development in general.
  • Right (vertical) - browser for googling and docs, terminals for tests / logs / whatever I want to see at the same time as the editor, Obsidian for notes.

Anything less than that will completely ruin my workflow. I'm even trying to come up with a feasible way to fit a fourth one.

I mean, it would probably make sense to make this optional to accommodate as many preferences as possible. I, for one, prefer to get the human readable message right away instead of having to use another tool for it.

Well, I don't mind being called stupid if it makes my debugging easier. For many people visual/ graphical representation is much easier to comprehend than a block of text.

I'm pretty sure I have aphantasia. My mom, on the other hand, is an artist with very powerful imagination. She would often tell me how she sees something she's imagining and I never really knew what she meant. I just assumed that it's kinda a figure of speech. Only when I first read about aphantasia I realized that it probably really works completely differently for her.

I would like to know whether aphantasia has any practical impact on one's life. For example, I had this suspicion that differences in my "mental image processing pipeline" might be a factor in my terrible driving skills. Quick visual assessment of the traffic situation, at an intersection for instance, is very hard for me. This is just me making stuff up though, no idea if it makes any sense. In fact, I think I'm going to research this topic and look for some papers now!

I usually listen to electronic stuff nowadays but I used to love this song. Thanks for reminding me about it!

E2E is their flagship feature and pretty much only selling point. I'm really not surprised they don't allow to just disable it.

Huge thanks to Vaxry and all contributors, Hyprland is great!

This is me. I still can't believe how much a few hours of sun can boost my mood.

I'm well aware of what Vivaldi can do but I refuse to support Chromium's monopoly. In fact, it's the only reason why I use FF.

Oh god, yes please. I would love to have that!
