We had transparent UI elements before and decided they were shit. Am I the only one still alive to remember?

    I don't remember vista being bad because of the translucency

    Na that was actually liked.being buggy, slow and having poor driver support at launch killed it. Windows 7 which was just polished Windows Vista was very popular.

    but it took developers forever to update and stop constantly writing to sensitive OS locations.

    They still haven't done that in 2025, Windows file locations are by far the worst part of it as an operation system for an average user?

    Is it in C:/Users//? How about in the Documents folder? No, AppData/Local maybe? AppData/LocalLow or AppData/Roaming?

    Maybe it created a root folder on my hard drive, Intel and NVIDIA love to do that? Did it just dump data in my registry (thanks Adobe)? Maybe it's in the installation location in Program Files, or with the 32-bit updater app in Program Files (x86)?

    Who the fuck even knows anymore at this point, just write directly into System32 for all I care

    Well, they are quite bad from a UI/accessibility perspective. While looking nice and fancy, it can be difficult to read the contents and makes it harder to identify information. That's totally fine as an optional feature for those who like it, but the default should be a clean and easily accessible design.

    The contrast is preserved if when a light theme is applied the text is black (because the background is usually bright) and vice versa but yes there should be an easily accessible option and that was provided by the non transparent aero theme.

    What we want: OS updates that make the system more performant, more accessible, easier to use, smarter at using battery power, and more secure.

    Apple: Let's make everything an unreadable mess and tax the GPU to shit just for fucking UI elements, because we're out of ideas.

    You can't rely on a gas station mini-mart keeping up food safety standards, especially where raw fish is concerned. If you eat spoiled sushi you may get the squirts, aka "liquid ass."

    Apple comes up too late with innovations made decades ago.

    Hey apple when you are watching a reel on Instagram and you get a phone call, the Insta reel audio continues playing on top of the phone call audio, why don't you fix something as basic as that or give the iPhone a real fuckin file system or make it easier to interact with non Apple devices instead of stupid gimmicks like this. I'm not holding my breath though, just switching back to Android once this one dies

    Maybe it's not about poop. Maybe "liquid ass" is what was "poured into them jeans"?

    Let's have a little optimism on the internet for once.

    Ah. Of, or pertaining to, the experience following consumption of milk-based products for those who are intolerant to lactose.
