to everyone pointing out that this is for touchpads;

a: it’s awful on that too

b: note the mouse in the example given

        And the magic mouse famously doesn’t have a scroll wheel.

        It’s so frustrating on iPadOS because there’s one setting that controls touchscreen scrolling and mouse wheel scrolling. So I have to decide if I want my fingers to feel dumb or the mouse or occasionally use to feel dumb. iPadOS is so fucking bad and left to languish.

      That’s the first thing I fix when I set up a new Mac. Second thing is install BetterTouchTool. It lets you separate mouse and trackpad options, so the scroll wheel can be right and the trackpad backwards.

        Every few months I find a new BTT option to use on all my machines. Glad I purchased a lifetime license.

        Then again maybe I should have bought a subscription to keep him incentivized…

        Ok that’s even worse. I get that its to make it the same as when you push the screen up on your phone blah blah blah

        But they can all die and burn in hell

        it actually wasn’t in this gnome install from last night, i just happened to run across the setting while looking for something else and made the meme. but i do seem to recall having to fix this before in years past.

        iirc windows uses classic direction and doesn’t have an option to change it to “natural”, meaning if you happened to get used to “natural” you have to do some janky registry thing to flip it

      We use Apple Computers at work and when I go to someone’s computer and realize that “natural scrolling” is on I can’t help but judge them internally. Monsters.

      Apple really only cares about you if you use the Magic Mouse which has a touch surface instead of a scroll wheel. It makes sense on the Magic Mouse but not on any other mouse
