New volume and brightness indicators stress me out

The specific placement in the upper right doesn’t bother me so much as the fact it’s moved from where it’s been for so very long. That said, having it away from my content is actually better in the end.
What I would suggest OP, is when you’re changing volume try and consciously associate the physical action you’re performing with the visual feedback you’re getting. Over time, hopefully you’ll create a subconscious association between the physical action and visual feedback and it will bother you less and less until the point you barely notice it.

Imagine if they gave us options!
It is "soft"ware after all 😂
Part of the reason software has taken over the world is due to how flexible it is.
This insistence that the internet is somehow separate from our day-to-day life and anything should just go without being called out baffles me. Sorry you're like this!
'Real life" and the internet are of course not two separate things, but people really have different behavior patterns on the internet than in "real life".
To be blunt about it, people are far more callous an intolerant on the internet than they would be face-tp-face or on a phone call. The nature of the "tally " part of the internet, forums and social media, does reward extremes and conflict more than it does consensus and mutual respect. And I strongly believe people are less truthful online, because acting like a D88k online is generally consequence-free, relative to "real life".
Have you ever seen a thread on this forum, as an example, that has gone from disagreement to consensus, or do the threads amplify disagreement as they progress?
I'm very much of the opinion that a lot of the "ens**tifcation" of our real lives comes from people, more and more often, behaving in real life as they do online.

I can't speak to entire threads, but individual users do reach consensus and mutual understanding through further discussion.
It happened just this morning with @JOLoughlin and I in here:
It's lovely feeling when it happens, it shouldn't be so rare. Given the amount of access to information and other opinions, it's pretty damning that access to so much leads to entrenchment of opinions, not their widening.
