Around two years ago, I decided to reduce from 2 monitors to 1; having a second monitor was distracting, and causing neck tension due to how I positioned them.
This week, I've had some tasks that could benefit from the second screen, so I hooked it up.
I kept one screen directly in front of me, and the other is off to one side, at an angle. This solved both issues; I only look at the 2nd screen when needed.
Better: I realized I can go into settings and... disable it when I'm not using it. 🤯

If you were to donate to an organization that educates developers in minority populations (women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, etc.), where would you donate? Which organizations have a good reputation? #lazyWeb

Why I ever post about software choices in social media...
I always get folks in the replies with their absolutist FOSS takes. Every. Single. Time.
Trust me, I know what the hard line is for some people. I've been using FOSS for over 2 decades, but not exclusively. Calling me out for using something non-FOSS when I need to for any reason does nobody any good, and makes you sound like RMS. Maybe keep those hot takes to yourself?

I use an old iPad for art stuff (weekly online art club, an "art raffle" app for generating tangling prompts, occasional ProCreate stuff).
I hated Safari, and used Brave on it for years. When switching to Firefox recently, I tried it on the iPad, and oof. So. many. ads.
I stumbled upon DNSCloak, and a rec to configure it to the AdGuard DNS servers.
I can use FF comfortably now, with the side benefit that apps with in-app ads no longer display crap.
Highly recommend this!
