  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    MacOS has no proper UI scaling for example. Something windows had for... I don't know, ever? It was never an issue for me.

    For MacOS you need a little extra tool you stumble upon after hours of debugging that teels your MacOS what resolutions your display actually supports so MacOS grants you the option of your desired HiDPI resolution.

    It's stuff like this that drives me mad when dealing with the fucking Mac I am forced to use at work.

    There is always going to be pros and cons when it comes to UI. Since Mac comes with a set size monitor, I can understand why there is little support for it. Although, as someone who needs PC glasses, it is a big remiss to not cater for disabilities.

    As in my other comment, the display menu in settings has options titled more/less space which increase or decrease the size of text and windows on screen, this is accounted for.

    These features are for consistent stability. The more space/less space option under display is more than enough for most use cases.

    [–] Hasuris@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    So trash UI scaling is a feature? Try changing your display to a non-HiDPI one. Does this look good to you?

    I've connected my Mac to 4k and 1440p displays and had no issues, in fact it was a pleasant experience.

    "I've had no issues therefore the issue doesn't exist."

    [–] mac@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

    Well no I mean I've tried the exact issue you were complaining about and it looked great
