   MacOS has had horrible mouse input since forever. Up until some version I could kill the acceleration curve with SteerMouse (but not the scroll acceleration), but there was still the 2 frame lag. It's also extremely distracting how you

   Not just that. We have a lot more metadata these days and not everything can be a file. If you keep all the metadata and database-like files accessible to the user, how do you handle store corruption? EG, a video recording/playback app

    The last linux distro I tried was ubuntu 20.04. There was no GPU acceleration for my nvidia card out of the box. Installing the drivers caused X11/wayland/whateverthefuck to glitch out and I had to do terminal magic to get it to b

    What do you mean by "font smoothing"? Subpixel antialiasing has been disabled and steadily pruned from the OS since Mojave if that's what you're talking about: https://gankra.github.io/blah/text-hate

    Virtue signallers working in tech, and Twitter. There's a huge overlap there. What bothers me is how much this is an VERY regional issue, specifically, USA-based, yet it's being imported wholesale across the entire Western world
