@jimniels@mastodon.social @jimniels@mastodon.social 100 percent with you! I also think that poor support for rtl languages means that conventions like left = off and right = on not really being consistent is extra terrible for certain users 🫣

@jimniels@mastodon.social ugh that was poorly worded! But yeah, direction of something indicating state is a really bad accordance

@NicMakesStuff@indieweb.social I don't know about native app kits but Safari's `switch` attribute implementation and a polyfill for it accounts for language direction; the 'on' position isn't "right," it's essentially "inline-end." BTW, "Differentiate without color" also enables those icons on switches, that's the only option available on macOS. https://blog.tomayac.com/2026/01/12/a-polyfill-for-the-html-switch-element/ @jimniels@mastodon.social
