It's not just the web. I've long been frustrated by the legibility of tiny fonts on laptops with even medium-res screens. Now that Apple has introduced an even higher-res 5K display on the iMac, I find it almost impossible to read some system menus and popups.
When did it become OK for Apple's long-vaunted UI become so user unfriendly? Jef Raskin must be rolling over in his grave. This is definitely NOT "computing for the rest of us".
My eyesight is completely OK, but I crank up the font size everywhere. Both Reddit and HN are at 150% magnification, every time I see them on a new device I'm surprised people feel comfortable reading such small text.
This. I've been recently wondering if I either sit too far away from the monitor (~60 cm) or my screen has too much pixel density (1080p / 21.5 inches), Because my vision is almost perfect and I can barely read the text on HN without zooming in.
