inspired by firefox 157. it’s time for me to vent my hate.
enough of this shit. enough rounded corners. enough “pills”. the tyranny of the pill-shaped element is killing my enthusiasm for the computer.
Idk if this is firefox or specifically waterfox thing, but it has many settings for style of the tabs, buttons etc. There is rounding of corners, spacing, and more.
This needs to be in the unpopularopinion community.

Ugh I do not miss the padded-room-UI of the early ‘00s. The colors were pretty sweet though
We always called the fancy blue-green ui for windows xp “Fisher-price node”
I don’t know why frutgier-aero shit looked so appealing to me. It is 100% an aesthetic crime but it did make the endorphins go. I think I only like it based on the context of the memories
That’s when we were applying themes to instant messenger and setting up spaces for our friends to message from different classrooms on
I wanna chat with those dolphins

Wow, that’s impressive!
I love em, rounder the better I say, give me a phone with the profile of a hot dog bun. Better yet a circle. Yeah I want a folding phone where it’s a circle and it expands from the center into a bigger circle.
iPhone 3GS!
Just get an orb at that point
Love it, yes, a folding orb that folds up into fourth dimensional space.
Bill Atkinson, creator of QuickDraw, also hated them. Steve Jobs made him a bet: I’ll take you to lunch and we’ll count all the square corners and all the rounded corners.
Bill conceded by the time they got the menus at the restaurant, and figured out how to draw rounded corners as fast as square ones.
lol real life barely anything is sharp. Even stuff made by humans you usually want to chamfer or bevel. Sharp shit hurts.
Case in point: cybertruck
those classic system software rounded corners were more tastefully done, like on buttons on dialog boxes. not on every literal visual element on the screen. >:(
