How to make your tech more futuristic? Blur and glossing. Fuck high contrast. Everything must be phone now.

I can't believe GNOME gets compared to this piece of shit desktop.

Chinese phone manufacturers pls don't copy this. As much as I hate Google, I prefer their pixel design to this.

Also this is Aero Glass design but worse.

Yes it’s mine. There’s a way to turn it off https://hexbear.net/comment/6227458 but finding it might not be obvious to everyone

We used to have Cash, Hope, and Jobs,

Tech companies have been making designs less readable for decades now. Eventually, you will just have a button with an icon you will understand to mean "slop" and you press it and the slop appears.

The 2D, solid and vibrant color motif of the past ~15 years was objectively a good design choice for accessibility and should not be treated as a trend that can go out of style

The ghost of Steve Jobs has learned what opacity is. Billions must die

This is legit ass. Even worse than Microsoft's design language.

Sorry, I'm not sure what your comment says because I just applied the tahoe hexbear theme. I assume you were agreeing with me, so thanks!

I miss Isaac Wood so fucking much. The new album is good, but goddamm his vocals were stunning

It looks bad. The accessibility options will allow you to turn it off, just like previous versions. If you want to get a little more snappiness out of your old model, turn off all that stuff in accessibility and be amazed.

What’s more interesting is jumping uhh eight major versions to have all operating systems use the same version number as the year they came out and having unified apis.

It makes the support window more predictable for people who don’t know about that kind of thing and most likely means there’s been enough work under the hood of macos to get it to where ios is security wise.

They also said 26/tahoe will be the last one to support intel. That means those 2018s are gonna end up with ~10 years of support. I thought they’d be quick to drop like the old 2011 15” models.

If you want to get into the mac game cheap, there’s never been a better time to get an m1. It’s guaranteed three year support window (likely more) on a ~$200 arm64 laptop and then asahi after that. The m1s support rosetta 2 so they can run x86 applications as well.

I remember running a transparent* terminal like 20 years ago. I stopped that shit real quick because it affects readability.

* technically it was fake transparency back then, it would just display the wallpaper, but darkened
