Modern squarish (16:18) monitors do exist, a friend has one and swears by it. For example, this one isn’t even that expensive given the size, resolution and that it’s bundled with what looks like an excellent monitor arm.

Man, messaging is a nightmare. I use signal with a few of my closest contacts, whatsapp with most other people, sms as a fallback and for work I have to occasionally use Teams and fucking Viber (ugh). At least I managed to liberate myself from the clutches of Slack.

If only there was some standard way to get these apps to talk to each other so everybody could use what they want. Oh wait, there was, it was called XMPP, it worked perfectly and big tech fucking killed it and replaced it with the irritating clusterfuck that is the current status quo.

As a European, all I can say is good riddance, you greasy fuckers.
