@phlip@kind.social remember when big fonts and rounded corners used to mean "for children"? I guess they're just cathering to the workers of the AI era.

@phlip yeah. i ended up not hating the firefox redesign as much as i thought i would (mostly because it didn't really change much except add a, actually kinda colour gradient to the UI that actually looks kinda nice after picking a nice purple theme)
but i did have to edit my userChrome.css to make the rounded corners sensible again.

@phlip lol I remember there was a meme that was like “someone leaked the source code for windows 11” and it’s just border-radius
in retrospect that was kinda unfair to Microsoft, they added a bunch of telemetry and spying stuff too -
"But phlip", I hear you ask, "surely if you increase the border radius so far that the rectangles are now capsules, you've increased them as far as they'll go! How can we further modernise in the future if we're already at maximum innovation?"
Ah, ye of little faith. Observe, the future UI uplift of 2029:
@phlip mmm candy

Gotta hit the vibes that we are making stuff with AI slop

@phlip are border-radius trends following the baggy/tight pants trends ?

I'm glad they're all doing that.
I hurt myself on those sharp edges so many times. /jk -

@phlip next step: replace text with hieroglyphs

@phlip if you have Stylus installed in firefox(-like) you can just * {border-radius: 0;} and it looks fine lol

@phlip That's a sausage I don't want to know how it got made. But... it's "AI", isn't it?

@phlip Actually, those corners are too round. Our latest modernization involved less rounded corners.

@phlip I've seen the future, friend, and it's squircles and rectarcles alllll the way down

@phlip Oh no, I'm going to have to tell my partner that the carefully designed round corners on her 10+ year old fully hand-coded personal website are now a indicator of AI. She's already cross enough about em dash appropriation.
