youâre not complaining about âdesign trendsâ, youâre complaining about capitalism.
everything is touchscreen because itâs cheaper than mechanical buttons.
all products looks the same because 1. itâs cheaper 2. mass appeal is more profitable than niche, and 3. itâs risk free
everythingâs an app because they can collect data, push notifications, and force you into closed ecosystems.
laptops are thin because they probably sell more as a lot of people prioritize lightweight and less bulky laptops to carry them around easier. phones are going the other way but when youâre talking laptops itâs kilograms rather than grams so the difference is more important.
finally rounded corners are probably a design trend, although i am generally in favor of them.
no they just closed the api for 3rd party apps. I wasnât going to use their shitty app. the official app was literally the worst of all of them so this was the only way they were going to get users but fuck that. I donât need reddit.
