I don't see what is so hard to understand. I run a 150dpi screen. What the problem with running a "96dpi" application on a 150dpi screen? The text is overall too small. What text? Literally all the text in the entire applicat

You can't read minds, that's why I posted screenshots. Surely you can see the difference between the font sizes for the ublock origin popup, and the enormous fonts on the settings page. It's totally broken?

Is this a joke? The only things correctly sized are the page and the hamburger menu. Do you not see the oversized tab-bar, the tiny icons on the tab-bar and address bar, the tiny ublock origin dialog, and the huge settings page?

Bizarre. To me firefox looks like it's falling apart at the seams. Here's a new profile, just default zoom set to 150% (ublock origin installed system-wide) https://i.imgur.com/Z3MO8sr.png https://i.img

CRTs were never crisp at decent resolutions (like 1280x1024 on a 17"). LCD sharpness was basically mind-blowing in comparison at the time.

I've used it a bunch and think it's really great. eg. https://camo.githubusercontent.com/ae63c1d0f7400487244599120... I thought it looked good and it's very simple to use.

OpenCamera is great if you want natural looking photos. I went out with my android shitphone and someone brought their iphone 12 pro max. Here's a comparison (opencamera + rawtherapee vs iphone camera jpeg): https://i.imgur.

True, the dials are nice. And I just noticed that the Fuji camera has a LCD on top, which is a big plus for me. I used to have a Pentax K20D and found that to be very useful. Although I tend to just shoot on auto-exposure and bracket 3 shot

It's weird how phones went to 100M with their tiny sensors, but APS-C cameras stayed at 20M. Anyway with used FF cameras now well under $1000, I have no idea why anybody would buy an APS-C camera. Even if you love some APS-C lens, you

This is really a typical example of corporate justice: - We are jailing you - The jail term is forever - There's no defense - There's no appeal - We won't tell you what we think you did

All that "security" just to fight spam. IIRC it was estimated that globally spammers make $300M per year from their spam. It doesn't seem like much. Somebody joked that it would be better if we just paid them that much to do

Those points aren't exactly true. Haskell does have for and while loops (forM, whileM), they're just a bit more hidden and cumbersome than usual. etc.

I've tried to sign up for instagram, but it always said "email is already used", including for emails that I had just created. Maybe they're losing users because nobody can sign up? Or maybe the web sign up doesn't

I don't get it. Maybe they should have taken into account the possibility of a purchase when drawing up the contract?
