  • Re: on by default

    IMHO, the problem isn’t that it’s on by default, it’s the fine tuning of the feature. The velocity and pattern needed to trigger it + the lack of a reasonable max scale.

    MacOS has had this on by default for a decade, but it feels more intentional when it appears. Meanwhile, I litterally still see KDE threads from people trying to troubleshoot “bugs” about their cursor size.

    The KDE cursor needs about 15 min of a motion designer sitting next to the engineer that coded this.






  • I disagree. Learning absolutely does not have to be really hard. Learning can be fun can you can motivated by curiosity. The best physics, research, and computer science professors I ever had were not the people that focused on the grind. They were able highlight something fascinating and dope, then make exploring that thing feel like solving a fun puzzle.

    Moreover, if you’re recreationally curious about something you by no means need to study the full thing. People should be encouraged to be curious about lots of things. It’s ok to snack from the science sampler platter without getting into the kitchen. Explore the dope theory and high level gestalt first. Have fun.

    If you’re curious about lots of things, you’re more likely to stumble upon something that you’re passionate about. And it’s WAY easier to get into the weeds with something that you’re passionate about.
