I need fresh ideas for my slide deck.

I’ve one #Powerpoint file for all my talks, organized by topic.

Some love it, especially the list of topics in the sidebar.

Others cringe as much as I do (e.g., because my name and website are on every slide).

How do you organize and present all of your #slides?

What formats, templates, or designs work well?

(Is it safe to assume our slides will never again be on a 4:3 display? Can we finally go #widescreen?)

Wide screen monitors Linux

I have a wide screen monitor with a 3440 x 1440 resolution.

I am using macOS with it so I have to use a custom script for HIDPI scaling on it provided on the below repo:

https://github.com/xzhih/one-key-hidpi

I am interested to know people using linux on how are you doing fractional scaling on your wide screen monitors?

Seems like wayland does allow it, however it scales up using integer scaling & then scales down.

(continuing the thread on #widescreen) … notice the "BBC" logo in the previous post is adhering to "shoot and protect", laying it in severely far from the edge. This reflects some of the practices in 1998-2008 when the UK was transitioning to widescreen while giving a lot of thought into the simulcasting of analogue TV, a system that was retrospectively defined as locked-in to 4:3.

SBS TV had a fun time "#triplecasting" for a brief period around 2010, producing separate subtitles ("burned in" or open captions, not closed ones) when movies were widescreen with lots of handy black bar space was available to put the subtitles in. SDTV had it aligned for 16:9, with the words overlapping the image. And briefly, HDTV had the new sharper font available for the latest movies, briefly before #analogue shutdown.

2012 saw peak pain with the 1980s "future" clashing with 2010s "future", coining the term Vertical Video Syndrome #VVS https://youtu.be/dechvhb0Meo

Fast-forward to 2016 and Instagram launches square (1:1) videos — and I think it was @danilic who declared it was the best choice for production from then on, being a handy compromise between phones and widescreens (laptops and TVs). Do you still think so Dan? With toilet-phone-video at all time highs, YouTube Shorts launched in 2020 and is pushing 9:16 so much that I've seen new creative methods for packing "normal" video into a handy phone frame.

Meanwhile, my 2010 upload of Double The Fist's ironic "Tallscreen" experiment (where they lampoon toxic masculinity to complain about the world including #widescreen) … was auto-tagged into the oldest YouTube Short ever? https://youtube.com/shorts/-0TkkLLAkdk

1994: Turns out, the original "Stargate" movie provides public proof of #widescreen TV and the agreement of standards for 16:9 #aspectratio, long before studios stopped resisting pressure to change (and causing a whole lot of problems for us in the 2020s). https://youtu.be/x3h7xz558EY?t=180

In the UK, they took 5 years to commit, and their "C-Day" was 1st July 2000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-Day … Australia took another 5 years before the last jigsaw piece (ABC News) got on board, but Ten News was on it even before digital broadcasting in 2001.

In the USA, it took 15 years … and a shutdown of analog before studios even installed 16:9 let alone HD: https://www.cc.com/video/a6c63f/the-colbert-report-intro-goodbye-old-set

But 2008 did generate this fantastic YouTube sketch to launch their widescreen ability: https://youtu.be/FEm8PZ_lUh8

Wiiiiiide. Makes me wanna rewatch hidamari sketch.

(Sarah) Tried to improve the smirk a lil. I added about 30 new morphs to add next to nothing in the looks lol.

However this is a 2.39 ultra-wide aspect ratio which look kinda cool sometimes imo.

I lowkey really like this shot. I tried to port a better beret but it just didnt turn out that well :(

Heeft er iemand ervaring met een #widescreen monitor tijdens het programeren? Ik heb op mijn werk 3 #monitoren maar thuis een 'simpele' 23inch. Om nu meteen 3 #schermen te kopen..

Winter in Stadsgraven

I felt I needed to show Mastodon some love with a photo of mine, but I haven't shot anything new recently (I don't do much #winter #photography - probably because I'm too comfortable to spend much time outside in the cold). But this is always a nice one I like to post :-)

Room to breathe. In Ashton Court at the edge of the meadow looking south towards the airport which is over the far hill about 10 miles away. #Photography #Bristol #ashtoncourtestate #widescreen

I plan on spending a significant time away from my home city next year on a project. So, I thought I'd customize the workspace in the remote location with an #LG 21:9 #widescreen #monitor. I'm loving the extra screen real estate. #workspace #setup

Someone said i should turn on Advanced Web Interface to get more columns on my screen.

Am I doing it right?
