first they laugh at you, then you win © windows vista
lmao, it’s everywhere:
this is legible text and a fair representation of our design - real company evaluated in trillions
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.
can’t wait for everyone else to copy this
coming to kkkde near you in 5 years
At least I’ll be able to disable it in KDE
it’s optional on apple as well, seems like addition to dark theme or something (at least on phones? mac is confusing, can’t find mentions if it’s optional)
it’s not optional.
The transparency effect is definitely optional. They’ve always had accessibility settings for transparency related stuff.
Uh oh what did KDE do? 😢
oh nothing 😅 but they are sometimes influenced by commercial designs
Overengineered by Germans
, over-complex UI and unstable (I blame the C++). Little vision except “similar to Windows but with more options”.Originally, Qt (the GUI library KDE uses) was proprietary and it still (I think) is corporate and not community-run, though it is now free software and has been for a long while. The people who started the project apparently didn’t care much about that, though I guess some people put in significant effort later to convince whatever corporate entity was in charge of Qt at the time (I think Trolltech) to release under dual LGPL/proprietary license. Gnome was basically started as a fully free software alternative to KDE.
Otherwise it’s fine, definitely has a target audience who love that shit, and it also doesn’t deserve being called KKKDE.
This is all literally true (except that the toolkit isn’t proprietary any more) but the alternative is gnome so it doesn’t really matter.
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.
an unreadable OS, an unviewable screen, no ports, no buttons, encased in tastefully brushed aluminum and now retailing for $1799.
play words with friends in luxurious style with the last one you will ever buy until 2026.
financing available.

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.
It’s joever
jesus christ *nothing even aligns with background icons
This is the bottom of the podcast app now
apple legit did
in awe of the lads(wait, its your screenshot? can this shit be disabled or should i prepare to make fun of iphone friends for a year?)
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
Ew
holy fuck I am never upgrading
It’s okay if you turn on reduce transparency
Better, but I wouldnt say ‘ok’.
how is it worse than iOS 7
We used to have Cash, Hope, and Jobs,
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
But imagine how much money they’re going to make selling new devices with this and then even more new devices with the next one that will be the revert to the old.
The ‘New Coke’ of our time
Republican democrat two party duopoly but it’s computer.
There’s no way lmao, either this was shopped or they updated the thumbnail
Liquid ass ?
The ghost of Steve Jobs has learned what opacity is. Billions must die
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
first one feels so dated already
Huh…what’s that say there?..OH! “Focus”! Hey it worked!it is pretty though and what else matters?
contrast?
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’m on that meow theme meself
How do I submit a site tagline
