What’s odd about that video for me is, why didn’t the person zoom in (on the lightning ball)? Seems like human nature would be to zoom in on something of interest.

Isn't it more like: N-illion = (Size_of_Digit_Grouping)^(n-1) Since the OP was saying groupings use to be by 6-digits, not 3-digits (i.e. "1,000") as seen today.

I find the 2025+ icon style difficult to discern. Something about the lower contrast and fuzzier/blurs - makes the icons too muted for my liking.

Slightly OT: it didn’t dawn on me until recently that terminal multiplier (like tmux) is a terminal itself. And as a result, you could be running the greatest / fastest / most feature rich desktop terminal … but if your multipli

The OP uses this same blur + a lot more effect (to make it look more realistic). So it'd actually be the OP CSS that would perform worse than this single line.

I'd be concerned about the maintenance overhead of this ~44-lines of code vs. just 1-line of code that has a similar (while slightly less realistic) net effect: filter: blur(16px);
