I have no issue with the text size, I have an issue with enormous empty space around the text. It’s fine if it’s not perfect on a 21:9 display, but this wouldn’t look good even on a 16:9 display.
I’m also fine with the text not taking up the entire width, I aggre that it’s less readable. But I think the window (not the text, the window) could utilise the width better.
I say that the messages could be a little more spread out (i.e. my massages could be a little to the right while other’s a little to the left) and just like the left sidepanel appears and disappears when the window is too thin, more sidebars could appear to the right when the window is very wide.
No, I want it to utilize the space a little bit more, this wouldn’t look good even on a 16:9 display. Which is a shame because when windowed it looks really good.
2560x1080 which is 21:9 full hd. Most programs don’t really handle 21:9 displays, but many GTK apps are particularly bad at it
Counterargument:
Admittedly this is a chat app, so there’s little to do. But still, it could stretch out a little bit more, maybe open the conversation info panel on the right

My name is uncommon enough that I can always pick my name everywhere, and when I can’t it means I forgot I had an account.
But you can ward off the bad luck by picking up the salt and throwing it over your shoulder

If you want to make use of systemd, you can skip directly to where it explains unit files. You’ll soon see just how much it can do for you
One of my university professors wanted us to program using DrJava, so of course Java 8 it is.
Why did he want to use that? Because it was similar DrRacket, which he made us use in the previous term to program Scheme (which is just lisp for teachers). Of course that was just us being all modern and such, he himself used DrScheme, the deprecated precursor of DrRacket.
This guy is so old that my high school Systems teacher had him as her university professor.
He has a fancy current gen MacBook Pro that he uses for his stuff. Then when it’s lesson time he whips out a windows 95 netbook and a daisy chain of adapters from VGA to thunderbolt.

The pine nuts are the seeds that are inside the pine cones. The pinecone being wooden clearly didn’t stop us from prying them apart and eating it’s content
People put pine nuts in salads all the time, and rodents do as well. It’s also one of the 5 ingredients of pesto.
And why the airplane?
I don’t know, it looks pretty strong. People end up in ER with lightbulbs up their butt, it can’t be weaker than those.
I was weird and still got the pyramid scheme DM. What about it?
AFAIK one of these are technical limitations, it’s just design choices. But in my experience, the design choices made following the gnome design guidelines tend to make apps with tiny faces
