Changing resolution ≠ HiDPI scaling

>Changing resolution ≠ HiDPI scaling Can you explain exactly why you think so relative to accessibility and not on implementation details.

  One is sharp and one is either tiny or a blurry mess. I honestly believe you don't know what HiDPI is or does different to a normal resolution change maybe this easy to understand blog post can help https://blog.elementary.io/what-is-hidpi/ https://blog.elementary.io/what-is-hidpi/ Ofc... we could also start using an established technical term for something completely different. Looking at you USB 3.X O_O

    Do you think someone with accessibility issues care about sharp fonts? Let me tell you NO , maybe for some minority but we are just trying to have text/buttons large enough to be able to read and click them, we don't care that fonts don't look crisp for a person with good eyes.

      It’s not about fonts did you even understand the article? Yikes mate at least try to understand about what you are arguing instead of going all emotional.

        Can you be less cryptic and on topic? Someone said he uses the DPI settings for accessibility reasons and you the expert say to use Zoom instead because you know better, can you copy paste from the article what we are doing wrong and tell us exactly what is the correct solution, maybe link to Apple(preferably not GNOME article that says DO NOT USE DPI scaling for accessibility. I use both methods int he past and it really depends on OS features and the apps you have to use but let me know your expert opinon.

        I don't know mate you are talking in circles there is no HiDPI option if you are not on a built-in or 4k+ screen. The OP of the comment thread and the OP of the topic are talking about using a feature that was never public and had to be enabled on the command line. They just disabled this workaround. You also don't understand the feature itself and you are also not understanding why it's bad as an impaired user to base your workflow on unsupported hacks. Here are the accessibility overviews for macOS and Windows [0] [1] and there is no mention of HiDPI in it because it's not an accessibility feature. I really hope you are trolling but no matter if you are or not this is my last post in this comment thread. Ps: You can save your passive aggressive undertone for reddit.
