  • My exposure to Linux is pretty minimal, especially Linux with a GUI, so forgive my ignorance. Even reading over this thread I’m confused as to the issue here.

    I don’t need an ELI5, but maybe someone can explain it like I don’t know what Wayland is?

    My understanding is that an app should ask the system to display an object at X size, let’s say text at size 14. The system then works out that at the currently selected display resolution, size 14 will be Y pixels big. If needed, the system can scale that based on user preferences- a small, high DPI screen could render size 14 at only a couple of millimetres, for example.

    Is the problem that devs are building things in a way that bypasses scaling? For example, hardcoding size 14 text to be Z pixels high?




  • I feel like the level of snark in your reply is… High. It doesn’t make for a pleasant interaction, and it doesn’t help make lemmy a nice place to be.

    So, if the image you want to put into your email is not hosted somewhere, what’s the best way to go about this, ensuring compatibility?











  • I’m playing a character at the moment, one of my favourites, but as it gets more powerful I can’t ignore the current dissonance.

    I’m playing as a headband of intellect whose previous owner was engulfed by a gelatinous cube. The headband then granted the cube intelligence, who sees itself as a cleric of Jubilex.

    I’ve ended up playing this cube as a happy go lucky explorer who just wants to see the world and be friends with everyone. And the party healer, of the life domain.

    But then I read into Jubilex. Not exactly the loving life domain type. So now I’m not sure where I want to take this thing.

    Fuck, I love this game.
