          That 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...

                  @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.

                    @merlin this is gonna be wonderfully subtle for the first few times

                    unlike one office I worked at where people found the "rotate everything 180 degrres" setting in windows ...

                        @mherbert @xssfox @merlin in my day you'd have subtle changes to your termcap file that would take ages to discover

                          @merlin @feonixrift I think it's like

                          body { transform: rotate(1deg); }

                          Or for maximum chaos,

                          * { transform: rotate(1deg); }

                              @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 😅
