All the premises (axioms?) of Liquid Glass design are weird and wrong.

Especially the basic premise of "content is more important than the user interface".

Not even going into how the moniker "content" devalues creative human workβ€”the real problem about this is that it's simply bullshit.

In human-computer interaction content and the user interface to interact with it are normally equally importantβ€”with the interaction elements becoming
more important while an interaction is either imminent or taking place.

The most basic thing is to make buttons look like buttons and not change how they look like depending on what's behind them, as well as not make them move around so you can easily recognize, find and tap or click them.

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io somebody did not read β€œThe Rise of Worse is Better” and internalize the tradeoffs involved (it’s less the direct mapping to the original story, and more the idea of carefully considering tradeoffs β€” including sometimes doing something less-than-right in order to prioritize simplicity)

Interface has nothing to do with content. That's why there are no jokes about vim
