While I think a lot of people agree with you, this is a real unpopular opinion to me. I love capsule shapes and large radii. I like my ui to feel soft, not pointy. shrug
Rounded corners do create a lot of opportunity to implement it poorly, though. I see a lot of rounded corners that aren’t concentric, or worse, are inconsistently rounded (For example, I’m extremely irritated by some US highway road signs where the border is rounded but the square corners are left on)
I think I agree with most of the comments in this thread, but I feel like your #2 is actually an unpopular opinion! I don’t think I’ve interacted with a scrollbar in the past decade, and the only purpose is to see where on the page I am, which doesn’t feel very important. (something like a pdf viewer where that matters should have a proper page preview anyway)
So I don’t really need scrollbars at all, and I’m glad they aren’t adding visual clutter.
(although I’m pretty sure you should be able to force scrollbars to be visble, at least on browsers)
Are recommendations based on the “watch history” list, or just your actual watch history? I doubt they are just disregrding data they have on you just because you remove it from the ui.
I think the best of youtube has been pretty consistent, it’s just that there’s exponentially more crap (and the algorithm wants you watching crap).
For games, I do agree that most AAA games are not very good, but we are in a golden age of indie gaming. There are so many amazing games being released constantly it’s overwhelming.
I choose 1 and either learn echolocation, or get a fancy implant that does it for me.
Although if 1 is instantaneous and you have perfect control of the power, you could probably avoid others seeing you by flickering really fast. I bet there’s an optimal pulse width and frequency where you would be effectively invisible to people while still being able to see enough. A high speed camera would still catch you though.
Maybe not that unknown, but:
Vimium - lets you control the browser by keyboard. It uses vim keys for navigation, but I think it’s useful for non vim users too because it also has a mode that adds text ‘hints’ for all the links on the page so you can click them by typing (I’m not describing it well so just check it out)
Personally, panpsychism makes sense to me. Our brains are what make us thinking individuals with memories etc, but the whole universe is conscious. So after we die, we return to pure awareness (without thought or memory)
One way roads and split highways exist, but even on any typical divided road, you obviously can still drive the wrong way. Either way, you’re conpletely missing the point. That phrase is used as a way of saying that if literally everyone else disagrees with you, then it’s a lot more likely that you’re the one who is wrong.
In this case, autism really doesn’t have an “opposite”. neurodevelopment is incredibly complex, and while some aspect exist on a spectrum, others don’t. (and the traits or development patterns that do exist on a spectrum in this case exist mostly between autistic and allistic traits, not between autism and some “opposite” pattern.
And the other traits you mentioned exist on their own orthoganal axes.
Okay, so I’m getting rid of my mattress, most of my furniture, most of my electronics, etc.
I think the idea behind this idea is good: If you’re trying to get rid of stuff, only keep things that you would expend a bit of effort for.
However, I think they’re wildly underestimating how many items will be destroyed or irreversably ruined in some way by poop.
I really like this.
I think most people have heard the “you need to work on yourself first” advice, which just feels unhelpful.
And I’ve always felt that people calling themselves “king” or “queen” is them being narcissistic.
But this advice nicely reframes both of those things into a really good mindset.
