@system76 I feel like it would be in the style of Ode to Sleep by Twenty-One Pilots lol

@RL_Dane I used to use 1.5x scaling, but have found that enabling large text from GNOME Tweaks (or GNOME Settings?) actually works very very well. It shrinks GNOME-style chunky touch-friendly widgets. And for some reason, pretty much every other GUI toolkit I use seems to adjust (based on the large text setting I suppose?). Electron apps don't always adjust on their own though; but just Ctrl+Underscore to scale it.

I may have made some other size adjustments to make my setup work that I forgot.

@RL_Dane Sway supports fractional scaling. I have been using Sway for a long time, I'd love to give a few "pro" tips I've picked up if you want help. But apparently it works well with an existing i3 config.

@RL_Dane I know that GNOME supports fractional scaling very well, with Wayland. I used to use it all the time, it was excellent. I think I used 1.5x.

Merry Christmas y'all! Wishing you all the best possible.

@Venture Quite an interesting controller... interested to hear what you think.

@survey I like it when advanced software intentionally differentiates between advanced users and inadvanced users; E.g. having the basic settings in the settings window but then having a section labeled "Additional settings" or "Advanced settings".

I also think it's a good idea to make dangerous settings only available in e.g. config files; that way, hopefully a lot of the users who shouldn't touch them are excluded if they don't put in a bit of effort.

@brownest_Ant See the alt text, it should help

@RL_Dane Your hashtags, wow... is there any overhead in the Fediverse for creating all these one-use hashtags? (And what use is a hashtag if you only use it once)

This boarding school banned smartphones. The results were promising!

@qburns I think you have a point there...

@harphat I'm not supporting those who spread the disinformation but we need to forgive them. (Not saying you should forget though.) Many who spread the disinformation were more or less deceived, being the victims as well as the perpetrators.

@servant Aw. Sorry to hear

@RL_Dane @randomString What I do is have a ~/Audio folder, and then a Audio/Music symlink to ~/Music (a symlink to ~/Music because XDG I guess).

@randomatic That's a neat thought....
