BetterDisplay is $15 or so and it changes the equation from ’horrible’ to ‘good enough’. Still not as good as other OSes but at least you don’t have to buy an expensive monitor.

Why Apple decided to not support low dpi is beyond me.

Every time someone complains about some rough edge or papercut on MacOS, someone always chimes in woth "there's this app that fixes it for $10".

I find it astounding that this has somehow been normalized.

I don’t get to choose the platform my employer wants me to develop on, macOS it is. My wfh setup is on me; $15 is much cheaper than a $1000 5k display.

Apple doesn’t care as long as they move inventory, apparently.
