@infobeautiful I'm chaotic neutral. Sounds about right.
@infobeautiful My setup is halfway between Neutral Good and Chaotic Good. That feels very accurate lol

@NaClKnight @infobeautiful

You are both as well?

@catfoxbirdperson @infobeautiful I have two big monitors side by side and then a smaller one used as a sensor panel (temps, flowrates, cpu/gpu usage, etc) next to them.

@infobeautiful
chaotic good...starting to see a trend in these replies lol.
@infobeautiful
My setup is not included, I'm outside the alignment system.
Which is also accurate.
@mrgroknroll @infobeautiful Same. Literally off the chart.
@frauxirah @mrgroknroll @infobeautiful off-the-chart gang rise!

It has been a minute since my last update about my home office, and there have been quite a few additions and questions, not least since I started doing videos on LinkedIn in which I make coffee and ramble for a few minutes while it brews. I was quite jet-lagged for the first one, but it went down pretty well (the Algorithm is pleased with video right now), so I have kept at it. With all the questions, it’s high time for an update!

@infobeautiful So I'm neutral, sometimes lawfully so.

...but I really want to be chaotically evil because it makes more efficient use of the space in front with less sideways eyeballing than the allegedly good :P

@infobeautiful i remember seeing this before and asking where a monitor and a laptop would fall on this chart

what i didn't know is the answer was apparently in front of me the whole time

@infobeautiful wait i just noticed linus is in the wallpaper

@infobeautiful
My work setup:
16:9 - laptop - 16:9
1080p - M3 Max MBP - 1080p

My gaming setup:
9:16 - 32:9 - 55:192
1920p - 1440p - 3840p

And this is why they say alignment tables don't work xP

@infobeautiful I have a laptop and a dedicated screen. I put the laptop screen below the dedicated screen. What's my alignment
@infobeautiful either lawful or true neutral, depending on if it uses the thinkpad dock or not lol
@infobeautiful chaotic evil: 4 monitors, only two match, one with several feet of airspace from the other 3.

@infobeautiful

Me at work = lawful neutral.

Do you realise that Terry Pratchett was closest to chaotic evil? He worked with six monitors in front of him :)

@infobeautiful I'm combining lawful evil with chaotic evil. πŸ€”πŸ˜―

@infobeautiful FYI, this image is from Linus Tech Tips. I remember seeing them post this to their YouTube/Twitter several years ago.
@infobeautiful I'm chaotic good but aspire to lawful evil.
@infobeautiful what about using a huge 4k TV, super neutral?!
@infobeautiful I suppose this would count as "chaotic evil".
4 monitors, all different sizes. one rotated by 90Β°. Plus a laptop
@infobeautiful I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

@infobeautiful

Don't tell anybody, but I've turned my monitor setup into a giant dong. It started as a joke but now I really like the layout

@infobeautiful I don’t see mine, which is basically chaotic evil but with some monitors completely blocking a monitor behind them. When I need that one I pivot the others away πŸ˜‚
@sfrazer434 @infobeautiful I'm similar. Three different sized screens with a pen tablet monitor mounted over my keyboard blocking it. I no longer look at my keyboard at all.
@infobeautiful I have the lawful neutral devices, but in the lawful evil configuration.

@infobeautiful perhaps inspired by @codinghorror 's post a few hours earlier? Or just a coincidence?

@infobeautiful what if I don't have that desktop background?
...
what?
@infobeautiful technically lawful good, but the left two monitors are connected to one (closed lid) laptop via a docking station and the right monitor it's connected to both another laptop (closed) DP, *and* a tower PC HDMI and uses a combination of screen lock and auto detect to switch between them. So Lawful Good πŸ˜‡, but secretly Chaotic Evil 😈
@infobeautiful
Neutral, but with a tablet nearby.
@infobeautiful True neutral > lawful neutral > neutral good is my path

@infobeautiful

I'm somewhere between chaotic neutral and chaotic evil.

@infobeautiful Hmmm... at work I am either chaotic good or chaotic evil (depends which room I'm in). At home I'm closest to lawful neutral.

Although given the space I'd be some flavor of chaotic evil at home too.

@infobeautiful this is a loss permutation I haven't seen before
@infobeautiful lawful evil here. Or chaotic evil if you count the four monitors spread across three computers….
@infobeautiful of course I am chaotic good ahah

@infobeautiful well, apparently this is my evolution:

Neutral good (2004) -- https://blog.codinghorror.com/multiple-monitors-and-productivity/
Lawful good (2010) -- https://blog.codinghorror.com/three-monitors-for-every-user/
Chaotic Good (2022) -- https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-road-not-taken-is-guaranteed-minimum-income/

proof: I wrote my last 5 blog posts with a mirrored Chaotic good setup (55" OLED TV in front, 27" OLED to left)

Multiple Monitors and Productivity

I found an interesting blog post about a small, informal multiple monitor productivity study. A number of developers, with some nudging from me, have gravitated to multiple monitor setups over the last year. Based on that experience, I wholeheartedly agree with the study survey results: * On average, people would much

@infobeautiful Chart is missing my particular perversion, a mix of lawful neutral and chaotic neutral: https://findthethread.blog/Battle-Station-2025/

@infobeautiful lawful good here ( though my middle monitor is a 32 inch and the two size ones are 27s

@infobeautiful I have the combination of "true neutral" and "lawfull good".
