i dont get it. what's "natural scrolling"?

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The wrong way. Scrolling moves the content instead of moving the "camera".

Touch screens move the content. Mouse wheels have always moved the observer/camera. They're pushing the touch scrolling style to mouse wheels too.

"They're pushing"? Who's "they"? As far as I could see, it's an unchecked option.
In any case, what's the historical reason for mouse wheels actually working like they do?

[-] Liquid_Fire@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Apple, for one, because not only do they default to this but there's no option to change it separately for the mouse wheel vs touch pad without third party software.
