  • Ok look advertising has clearly done a number on your brain because that is a removeding absurd amount of money to spend on a chair.

    Like nothing in it is worth that much, you can get a very comfortable chair for 200 usd. You’re not getting 1000 usd extra value from this, just think about how much money that is and what materials this is actually made of.

    Things marketed to business are absurdly overpriced because spending someone else’s money is easy, but you don’t need a chair adaptable to any body shape and capable of taking 500 kg of load. you know what body shape you are, and you probably aren’t that heavy. Features that sort of make sense in an office environment if you’re high on your own farts are completely unnecessary at home.

    This is about status, hence why OP literally leads with a brag about how much money they can afford to light on fire in this post.

    Hell medical evidence suggests you don’t even want too comfy of a chair because you should move around and engage your core muscles. Stuff like lumbar support is actively harmful to most people.

    So get a nice chair sure but it’s a chair, you shouldn’t spend 12 weeks groceries on abs, mild steel, polyester, and maybe some polycarbonate. That’s stupid.









  • I’m not removedting here removedting on GNOME but I haven’t tried it since gnome 3 released.

    I got kinda stuck on tiling wms because I hate having to think about laying out windows and so this blog post is exciting! They’re very correct that tiling wms only partially solve the problem because you often have to tweak for proper line length or just deal with random void space in settings apps.

    Obviously mosaic isn’t in yet, but if I wanted to dip into GNOME can it do (or are there addons or alternative more efficient things to try) for the following:

    • snappy keyboard only application launching e.g. dmenu style.

    • a way to activate a tiling wm mode for when you’re doing something like software Dev or at least a way to save and lock particular layouts?

    • tell software to always open on a particular monitor?

    • manipulate windows without using the mouse + move focus to different screens without using the mouse?

    • display a string in the status bar (I assemble my status bar using a custom shell script which outputs a string. I’d like to not reinvent it)

    Cause reading this blog I’m kinda keen to see where they take GNOME and get in early so it’s easier to learn.

    Like I said, I last used GNOME 2 so it’s been a while and I’m sure in my head it’s unfairly judged.
