Well, I’m not Beeple, but I’ll try to answer the question anyway.

Honestly I’ve done it all — 4 monitors in a 2x2 grid, four side by side, two side by side, two side by side and one vertical. Honestly, what I took away from the experience is that monitor space is like the size of a bowl for goldfish. You’ll pretty much always stretch out and figure out how to use screen real estate

When I simplified things down, I found I was happiest with one UWD, and a small second monitor off to the right. It’s well suited for graphic design work, cus I can keep a document or Slack open on a small monitor and have a full UWD to handle all my toolbars and stuff.

Her deep voice at the end always makes me giggle.

Do it, queen!

Yeah once I tweaked list view to use large fonts, I was much happier. I don’t really have any major issues with it yet, except that I can’t assign a shortcut to go to the comments from a gesture. It’s just a habit from a previous Reddit app that’s tough to break.

I’ve already gotten an update to the app since I installed it this morning. A promising development pace. I paid for the year license cus you gotta spread the love on the Fedi.

You love to see it.

Naw, but we do nod our heads to one another in passing greeting. It’s a way of life in Philly.

Finally, the perfect gift for someone who has everything.

Same as 20 years ago — “the fact that they want me to give up my truck and Nestle gets to dump plastic in the ocean proves it’s all liberal bullshit.”

It’s a portfolio piece. Nothing wrong with the dude demonstrating what he’s capable of doing. It’s how you break into the game industry.

Just in time for the new season of Futurama!

Mmm, people only get so many bites at the “vociferously defending pedorasty’” apple before you’re written off in my eyes. He is far beyond that point, even after decades of having to listen to people make appeals to authority.

Even Linus himself uses a MacBook.

Fuck RMS. A hideous, slimy grandpa attached to a computer.

I loved it! I felt it was a wonderful meditation on the experience of the Pandemic. The intensity, the confusion, the life happening in spite of quarantine, and even how everything got so ridiculous that we all stopped being shocked. In a lot of ways, I found it cathartic that somebody had managed to talk about the struggle of COVID without ever mentioning a disease. Like, I’ve had quite enough of ‘contagion movies’ now for a lifetime, so, I think that will help it hold up over time.

Imo, his finest.

Ahh okay, I’m sorry for misinterpreting.

Honestly, I think it would cause the same style of dustup as Meta joining. Lots of preemptive defederation, and a lot of struggle over how to integrate communities who are federating.

Me personally, I would love that. To me, the single best value prop for the Fedi is that you can basically choose your own adventure and form a lens of browsing ActivityPub for the kinds of content you’re interested in only.

So being able to, say, subscribe to /r/simpsonsshitposting on my Mastodon account would be killer. In fact it would be amazing to just interface with Reddit’s image content like I would Mastodon, instead of thread by thread.

So I guess TLDR is, I would predict that the Fedi will continue to be reactionary in nature, but it would overall be a very positive thing for the Fedi (as long as ActivityPub is not captured by corporate interests the way that XMPP was).

It’s a great idea, but I don’t feel like it’s realistic to how tech companies generate value to angel investors. Unfortunately, the ActivityPub team is a bit aggressive towards larger companies adopting it, and investors are not often keen on working with bodies they don’t control.

It would be so cool to see what the Fedi could do with sheer volume.
