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.
Also they changed the permission model and introduced UAC, 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/<username>/? 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
decided they were shit
I don’t recall this. I recall our corpo overlords taking away the glass from us without asking.
I liked them.
Thats why i still use them on kde.
I had to stop using them because my old laptop just cant keep up anymore 😪
I might have to replace it next year… good ol gal. She has been the same Arch install for almost 10 years
good laptops are like pets, they only last for a little while but some will be remember for how much joy they gave you
It’s expensive but I used Stardock on Windows. Specifically the bundle so I can use Fences and WindowFX. You can customise the hell out of Windows with their software, highly recommend. Free options do not come close.
Doesn’t fix YouTube UI though.
When did we decide they were shit?
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.
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.
“Let’s nostalgia bait millennials who miss the Aero aesthetic.”
Vista moments…
I saw a screenshot and it truly is liquid ass.
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
Liquid ass is the Chocolate Rain of 2025.
Never eat the gas station sushi.
Why?
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.”
You know what, you’re right. Go ahead and eat it.
taco bell sound plays
No! That is not Liquid Ass!
LIIIQUIIIDDDD! (ass)
