Not just unpopular, it seems totally misleading and plain wrong to me.
I've also seen elsewhere something similar, like checkboxes used instead of checkmarks as output widgets on web pages; cannot recall where though.
- voakbasda 4y agoI think some of this stems from their use in dark patterns, such as opt-opt checkboxes that end up opting you in. Then copy and paste took over.
- bch 4y agoI had something like this happen w some documentation I was working on in docbook (~13 years ago - forgive me if this isn’t 100% accurate), iirc: “[*]” meant “empty checkbox”.
