What is it with computers, displays, and everything going to shit if you tweak one thing.
I've been running a Thinkpad lying to itself that it's got a 96 pitch display for years. I'm trying to live as an honest man^Wspace alien cat, and tell it it's actually 144 DPI. And ... the display is utterly fucked.
Some fonts are way too big. Some way too small. This being Linux, configs are all the fuck over the place. For the Web, I need to apply CSS to _both_ sites _and_ FF itself.

I'll probably sort this out (along with ... other technical crap that's gone to shit). But it's the sort of thing you'd think that somewhere into the 21st century, and approaching the end of the first quarter of it, we might have sorted out by now.
In related news, I sent a snarky email requesting a novel feature be added to a mobile app. Scrollbars. Shown as part of the Mother of All Demos back in ninteen hunnert and sixty-fucking-eight.
That's fifty fucking years ago, peeps.

Fitts's law is even older. I looked _that_ up a ways back, apropos another snarky note, and discovered to my own surprise that it dates to *the 1950s*. Yeah, approaching 70 fucking years old.
And people still get that shit wrong.
Kids these days. Get off my lawn!

Oh, and by the way, for #Firefox you apparently need to enable the #BrowserToolbox to muck with #userChromeCSS and find the elements you want to change.
