Merlin (Unifi hater no. 1)just learned that my colleagues rotate VS Code by 1 degree when you leave your laptop unattended
jn (big endian energy)@merlin question: HOW?
@merlin did they inject CSS into your VS Code's Electron?!?

d.rift@feonixrift Help > Open Developer Tools, find the body element and add rotate: 1deg to the CSS
TerrorBite 🦁@merlin @feonixrift I think it's like
body { transform: rotate(1deg); }
Or for maximum chaos,
* { transform: rotate(1deg); }
@merlin @feonixrift successfully used this on my partner's laptop 😈
Mx. Eddie R@TerrorBite @merlin @feonixrift
For even more chaos:
* { transform: rotate(random(-1deg, 1deg)); }

devopscats@devopscats @xssfox @merlin a favourite is to just remap the monitor layout, so that if you want to get to the left hand monitor you need to leave on the opposite side from the one on the right ... pure evil ...

he/himThat is the leveled up version of my old favorite:
1. screenshot desktop
2. set that as walpaper
3. delete all the icons from their desktop

This a longer story...
My wife used to have an early laptop 25y back or longer, that developed a loose screen contact resulting in a narrow black line just next to the center of the screen.
After weeks i happened to notice the problem went away when I applied subtle pressure on the side of the screen bezel.
I then carefully opened the shell and squeezed some material between shell and screen to apply permanent pressure.
I then created a snapshot.
And edited the original black line into the picture which then became the new background...
Diabolical, I LOVE that

💲Paid@TeflonTrout @merlin To a former (non-tech) colleague who was always leaving her desktop unattended, I took a screenshot, mirrored it upside down, moved all the icons in a safe place, changed the desktop and mirrored her screen upside down (there's a keyboard shortcut for that). Her desktop was looking normal but the mouse going the wrong way and not being able to navigate menus made her panic, we quickly had to revert it 😅

At least in Windows, there's an option "Show desktop icons" or similar in the context menu. No deletion needed.

marlee_goathow do you even bring this up "hey why is my vscode Slightly Askew"

@merlin I just did this on my own copy, and it's REALLY ANNOYING ME even at 0.2deg, because it's subtle enough that the angle isn't immediately noticeable, but everything is immediately BLURRY and it feels like my eyes just aren't focusing on it!
Full 90/180 draw crisp and clean, tho.

DaveA former colleague used to add a bit of javascript to his blog posts on the company's internal server. He chose a small random rotation so that it changed every reload. Most of the time it was hardly noticeable but messed up the font rendering. 😉
The tricky part there was that the blog was on a well-known collaboration platform so it wasn't as straightforward as editing the CSS or page head.
Some worse examples here:
