it's just so miserable using a computer nowadays. all the operating systems are just awful aren't they

with each new update there's a new thing they've started doing that i don't want, and an old thing i do want that they've stopped doing. and it's literally just down to one thing: the incentives aren't there for anyone to make them work in a way that i would consider 'good'. the people making windows, the people making mac os, the people making linux? they don't agree with me, their opinions are the opposite of mine. we're in conflict! that's why it's getting worse, they're winning!

@jk every once in a while i still try to use bitmap fonts for UI stuff and remember, oh right, the gtk/pango people hate poor folks who cannot afford 4k monitors

@ludonaut @jk every once in a while i pick up an old laptop that still has a 1024x768 screen and there's something so refreshing about how things need to look in order to fit in it and it makes me feel we lost something along the way
