Chaotic neutral isn't that bad when you're doing programming since the extra vertical space is really convenient.

I've been lawful neutral ever since the pandemic forced work from home.

[–] Templa@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I'd swap lawful evil and neutral evil.

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Not a programmer, but I run Neutral Good + Lawful Neutral at the office, because my work issued a docking station with two symmetrical monitors, but they also issued me a laptop instead of a desktop, so what am going to do, not use the third monitor?

So, it's ugly, but it works since I either put baseball on one of the big monitors or Spotify on the laptop, and work on the other two.

Chaotic good but I REALLY vibe with that chaotic evil

Lawful Neutral + Chaotic Evil...

I have so many screens...

[–] icedcoffee@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Chaotic neutrals wya?! Especially when I was using a Mac for work with ShiftIt

[–] megane_kun@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Due to a mistake I made, I'm chaotic good instead of neutral good. Current set-up is a 27" 1080p HDMI on the left, and 24" 1080p VGA on the right. Not too much in a hurry to replace my smaller monitor though, I need to upgrade my graphics card first to allow for a HDMI-HDMI configuration at least.

I suppose I'm technically true neutral since I have a vertical monitor on one side and my laptop on the other.

I have four screens from four different manufacturers, with three different sizes, three different resolutions, two different aspect ratios and two different refresh rates.
Two of these are resurrected from the dead of which one has a high voltage cold cathode driver externally plastered to it's back (because the internal failed and there was no space inside) and the other one shining from every pore because I "replaced" one cold cathode tube by plastering the "replacement" tube somewhere in the housing of the monitor to fool the driver into thinking all tubes are fine (one was defect, the driver doesn't work without every tube connected and putting the replacement in the place where it should belong is too much work).
I am basically the evil necromancer of chaotic evil.

  1. 27 inch, 1440p, 16:9, 144Hz, Asus
  2. 24 inch, 1080p, 16:9, 60Hz (driver sticking out), BenQ
  3. 21 inch, 1080p, 16:9, 60Hz, Iiyama
  4. 21 inch, 1680x1050p, 16:10, 60Hz, Eizo

I can provide pictures later today if someone's interested.
Edit: Here are the pictures

Honestly, these days I just work directly on my laptop. Get to use touchpad gestures which is nice, grilling my hands under CPU load maybe less nice.

It's usually enough to just alt+tab between my IDE and browser, so my workflow hasn't suffered much.

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I’m pretty sure I’m Chaotic Evil with 2x 1920x1200, 2x 1024x1200, a 1920x1080 and one 1366x768 but I don’t run any vertical anymore, so maybe not?

[–] FleetingTit@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm a combination of neutral good and lawful neutral. 2 identical monitors + laptop.

Chaotic good but smaller monitor is on the left, only because I had one shitty monitor I got on sale right out of high school and eventually bought a much nicer but slightly smaller one later.

A neat trick I learned recently. The vertical /smaller/secondary monitor should go on different sides for different people. Hold a finger close to your face and close one eye and then the other. Whichever eye more closely matches the both-eye image is your dominant eye and is where your secondary monitor should go.

Lawful evil, but with ultrawide monitors.

[–] words_number@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I've been neutral good, chaotic good and chaotic neutral in the past and am now lawful evil. No idea what that is supposed to mean though xD

[–] Mechaguana@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Chaotic neutral

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Once I got a widescreen monitor, I finally ditched the rest and only use my laptop as the extra screen. So lawful neutral but set up like lawful evil but lower.

Somewhere between chaotic neutral & chaotic evil here.

One of a pair as portrait, the other as landscape; laptop left-aligned with landscape & base-aligned with portrait for an appropriately unholy trio.

I also use workspaces and screen sessions for maximal WTFery.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

So, would using a monitor and a phone screen be lawful neutral too? Because that's what I usually do if I need to look up things for whatever I'm doing and don't want to boot up my desktop web browser.

[–] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

All of these are good and sometimes necessary except the bottom-right.

[–] chrishazfun@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Chaotic Neutral, if you align the secondary monitor right Everything Works™

[–] ex_nihilo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

What if I use a 48 inch OLED TV as a monitor?

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Chaotic neutral except i have a vertical one on each side like a big H. I do a lot of document writing
