   Daft is so apt.

   What the fuck state are those switches in, Daft?

     @stevensrmiller Only you can see the cat but you still don’t know whether it’s alive or dead.

     @somewhat_damaged They took a toggle switch and added an indeterminate state. I have a legitimate interest in slapping them.

     @devnull They definitely are a thing. They’re an abomination :)

     They violate the affordance of the control, not to mention conventions and expectations.

     A checkbox is either checked or it is not. There is no intermediary indeterminate state. (It can also be disabled.) Ditto for a toggle switch which is modeled on an actual toggle switch; a switch that toggles between two states. If such a switch is stuck in the middle, it’s broken.

     @aral indeterminate checkboxes are definitely a thing. We use them in @nodebb when we need to render a checkbox state that is not explicitly checked.

     @aral @devnull I saw the screen shot before reading the comment, and my first thought was, "Hurray! At last someone has seen sense and not presumed to provide a default, because this is meant to be a deliberate choice." BTW, my junk box contents includes some physical toggle switches that have a centre off position.
