Not Apple fans though. They can’t wait to use their new Vista!

Get the fuck outta here with that! Any red blooded microphile knows XP was PEAK windows experience. The lower opacity of windows in Vista was a bright spot in an otherwise disgusting experience.

I just checked the Apple website and it doesn’t really look any different to me.
I can see there are changes, but I don’t even know if the average user will really notice it.
Sturgist@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
Almost certainly they won’t. But yeah, you’re ruining the joke.

Did the same thing the other day, there’s like some minor icon redesigns? Otherwise this mostly seems like people made up stuff.

Yeah, I used to be a typical Apple fanboy circa 2010, always watching the WWDC like I’m going to church.
Keeping up with Apple over the past several years has been very hit or miss, and watching it yesterday just kind of pissed me off.

Apple: adds blur effects, rounded elements, and color themeing
Homo Sapians: “Wow, another groundbreaking idea from Apple!”
JustARaccoon@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s not just blur though, it actually refracts what’s behind the element, which sounds more performance intensive than it needs to be, and sometimes it’s heavily distracting, but let’s not kid ourselves that this is just windows vista on a Mac, they’re emulating more of the physicalities of glass than just a static shine

The platform saw more than 20,000 mainland netizens express their discontent over the new design.
Halt everything!! 20k people saying things on the internet!!

The whole update being design focused is kinda disappointing. But the Liquid Glass UI does look kinda intriguing. I’m glad to get back a little of the old Skeuomorphism of old.
Though I don’t have any Apple stuff at the moment

you spelled Liquid Ass wrong.

Yeah I actually liked the whole Vista/7 era Windows looks. Didn’t like anything else about Vista but that wasn’t Windows Aero’s fault.

This article really needs some illustration of what the new UI looks like, and what the old one looks like for comparison
skeezix@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
the new one looks like shit.

I bet it’s going to drain more power, since you have to render all the diffraction in real time…

What people really want is less control and cat videos. Perhaps a screen with two knobs on the side…one for the volume and the other to change the picture?

We’re all secretly longing for the macbook wheel that was leaked over 15 years ago:

One of the greatest videos ever.

Sorry, I really don‘t mean to be rude or hurtful, but from all I‘ve seen and I mean ALL I‘ve seen Chinese consumers have no taste whatsoever. Yes, their manufacturing has become great if they actually care about something but this argument is not about stability. What I mean is the more a company relies on the Chinese market and tailors their commodities abd luxury products around Chinese consumers, the uglier they become. Just look at European cars lately. Hideous. So yeah sorry again but I take that as a seal of quality for Apple‘s UI design.

I knew it. I knew someone would manage even the most innocuous news into a “China Bad” take.
propitiouspanda@lemmy.cafe 3 weeks ago
I completely agree.
I see no reason to take their criticisms seriously. Have you ever seen a chinese website?
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
And most other consumers, I would wager.

I dunno, I prefer liquid glass to the flat shit we’ve been seeing for the past decade.
dinckelman@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
If this were an optional “skin” of sorts, it would have been completely fine with me. But this is a forced redesign, and a really bad one at that. There will likely be changes before the GM release comes out, but overall I just don’t like the design direction, nor the performance implications

Those damn corners weren’t round enough yet, thanks Apple designers👍

Sorry but any article about what internet users are saying about any topic is not real news. It’s not even noteworthy.
