The only thing holding me back from buying a 57" Samsung Odyssey 2x4K ultrawide is the lack of ultrawide-QOL features in Aerospace. Ultrawides seem cool but you'll have to tear my tiling window manager from my cold, dead fingers.
Ruby community: Look, we can be angry about what's happening, we can raise our complaints, but under no circumstances should anyone _ever_ harass someone's families, coworkers, or friends.
