On macOS (and iPadOS if used with certain external keyboards), it has long been `Option` + `Shift` + `-`. Desktop publishing folks memorized this, and other, typographically helpful key combos many years ago.
One of the smartest people for whom I ever worked was fond of saying about such situations that “you almost never want to be the first one up the beach.” I saw him get that right over and over again.
And every line of dialog shown, no more than five words at a time, in all-caps and bold-faced yellow superimposed text in a font that resembles a comic book sound effect.
> I'm super confused. My Macbook desktop has no rounded corners. Both the menu bar and content against the bottom edge are sharp-cornered. Is this only for external screens?
Running an Apple Studio Display here, and no rounded corners at any edges. So, just for non-Apple monitors?
Not even that. I have both Apple and non-Apple monitors, and my Mac only rounds the top edges on the MacBook’s screen, as intended.
Not sure what this tool’s function is supposed to be, given that the rounded corners only appear on screens that are actually rounded. Why would you want to straighten that out on a physically-rounded screen?
It’s more than that, the screen is rounded at the hardware level, there are no pixels to show anything here. What the OP software is supposed to “fix” CANNOT be fixed!
Running two Lenovo ThinkVision displays off of my work MacBook Pro.
On the MBP built-in display, the upper-left and upper-right corners are rounded. I believe this is due to the shape of the display. The bottom corners are not rounded.
On the external displays, the corners are all square.
> People in lowest incomes which would not be able to integrate in society without direct social funds will be seen as parasites by some which are wealthier, just like ultra rich will be considered parasites by less wealthy people.
Your use of the word parasite, especially in the context of TFA, reminds me of the article James Michener wrote for Reader’s Digest in 1972 recounting President Nixon’s trip to China that year. In an anecdote from the end of the trip, Michener explained that Chinese officials gave parting gifts to the American journalists and their coordinating staffs covering the presidential trip. In the case of the radio/TV journalists, those staffs included various audio and video technicians.
As Michener told it, the officials’ gifts to the technicians were unexpectedly valuable and carefully chosen; but, when the newspaper and magazine writers in the group got their official gifts, they turned out to be relatively cheap trinkets. When one writer was bold enough to complain about this apparent disparity, a translator replied that the Chinese highly valued those who held technical skills (especially in view of the radical changes then going on in China’s attempt to rebuild itself).
“So what do you think about writers?” the complainer responded.
To that, the translator said darkly, “We consider writers to be parasites.”
That's a trope easy to fall into for any human, probably.
All the more as part of the underlying representation is actually starting from a structuralist analysis. We try to clarify the situation through classes of issues. But then mid journey we see what looks like an easy ride shortcut, where mapping ontological assessment over social forces in interaction is always one step on the side away. Goat scape is nothing new.
So we quickly jump from, what social structures/forces lead to that awful results, to who can be blamed while we continue to let the underlying anthropological issue rules everyone.
