Puzzling

I’m puzzled by the decisions of Mozilla (over many years) and Apple more recently to make their products substantially worse. I think in large part it is due to the fact that they actually do hate their users, at least a large percentage of them. That is, both organizations despise and disdain their users they perceive as using their products “wrong.”

Though I’m still flummoxed — even though I know the technical reasons — about how very poor Apple’s font rendering is now. And in Catalina, it’s even worse than it was before, when it was already terrible. Way to make a 5K monitor look like a 1280×1024 CRT from 1998. That takes some skills, right there. Apple has gone from far superior to the dumpster disaster that is Windows 10 to being slightly worse at fonts. Only utter gobshites could fail that hard.

Maybe they really are trying to simulate a tty from 1972 with this new font destruction initiative? You know it’s bad when even the normals are noticing, which seems to be happening.
