Well yes, the rest of the world does have better paper. 21×29.7, the only ratio to conserve itself when halving the sheet
Wait, is that true? Is there something special about that ratio in particular that lets it conserve ratio when dividing?
And IIRC, A0 is 1m²
There also is B0, which is exactly 1 by the root of 2 meters.
Beautiful.
Yes it’s true. It’s the square root of 2, which is why it works.
Legend has it that Leonardo da Vinci came up with it
Legend has it he came up with catgirl memes, too.
Here you go, proof at ~2 min in.
Edit: for those who don’t want to use YouTube anymore. If a is the long side and b is the short side of a rectangle. Halving the rectangle will make the long side b and the short side 1/2 a. If the ratio is preserved when halving, we get:
a/b=b/(1/2 a)
a2*=2*b2
a2*/*b2=2
a/b=sqrt(2)

Yes, this particular ratio allows the fact that you can fold a A3 paper in two and get two A4 sheet
Here’s a fun CGP Grey video on the matter: https://youtu.be/pUF5esTscZI?si=9czdx4u8jWruZoui

It’s called the Golden Ratio and has a lot of neat properties! Da Vinci and other nerds love(d) using it in art.
I didn’t know there are part of the world which doesn’t put A4 in their printers
For anyone else wondering, this is a X11 vs Wayland meme - i.e. desktop window managers. Yeah.
Y’all arguing about window managers and I’m just trying to connect my shit-ass bt headset to my PC.
does Wayland even have a built in DWM? Because both are session manager.

Neither of them are window managers, they are windowing systems. A window manager is the part that actually lets you move around windows and draws the borders and stuff, like kwin, mutter, xfwm, i3, etc
Yes, we do have metric paper. A4 vs. US letter.

dancies - little dances :]

Ink erasers are depens. If you want to remove what a pen did to your paper, you depen it.
they’re doing their dancies on the pen’s ink
Mir for me
Well the tearing fixes would definitely help.
Option "TearFree" "true"in/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/your.confbut some compositors do that already.
for fuck sake shut up LMAO
Shouldn’t it be 8.5XFree86 in the land of freedom™?
HDR for Wayland when?
Early Febuary 2024 if all goes well.
@Klaymore
Two Questions:
* Why is it needed to set up resolutions If you work with screens in these Modern days. There should only be zooming?
* I have two screens one HD and one 4K. Why could I not set both screens as same physical high or same width?I’m starting to think Wayland is the systemd of desktop graphic environments. Might be amazing eventually, but pushed onto the community too soon by opinionated devs who have fallen victim to the second-system effect.
Mod me down, don’t care.
Edit: Woohoo, into the ground! Mod me down further, and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine :p
I don’t troll often, but when I do… it’s about Wayland and systemd. Nyah nyah.
Honestly if Wayland will work 100% on my next setup and apps appear as expected, I won’t give a damn what system I’m using.
It was pushed way too soon. It’s just not too soon anymore, that’s why everybody is moving now.
I sincerely hope it turns out to be the case. I don’t pretend I haven’t torn out my hair on multiple occasions fighting with xorg.conf… that’s for sure.
Just being provocative for the lulz on a memepost, mostly :)
Wayland is the complete oposite of that crap.
