From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is basically an article promoting two Tweets (something like Toots, but on a monetized closed source for-profit platform run by a highly questionable billionaire).
Here:
Also "Ideal monitor rotation for programmers": https://sprocketfox.io/xssfox/2021/12/02/xrandr/
Jeez, that blog post is so much better than that article.
Wholeheartedly agree. I've edited the OP accordingly.
I highly recommend her blogs/fediverse posts, she does lots of cool things with computers and ham radio
"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
"What's stopping you from developing for diagonal mode?"
Diagonal Mode
No, it's the lack of support in web APIs. Every api is based on width and height, viewport width, viewport height. Nothing allows you to find the angle of the display, rotate DOM elements to align, wrap based on diagonal boundaries etc.
Ackshually the social network you're mentioning has changed its name so instead of "Tweets" they should be "Xeets" (like sheets por shits if you prefer).
I've opted for zitter personally
