    Honestly I think it’s hideous. Wish they would take this one back to the drawing board. I prefer the sleek and minimalist push they used to have, but now it feels like they’re going back in a maximalist direction.

    My phone’s OS doesn’t need to be a theatrical experience with every press or swipe, it just needs to get me from point A to point B as quickly and simply as possible.

    I guess I’ve always been the person who likes UI change, I find it exciting to see that kind of thing. I know a ton of people will hate this, but I personally like it. The Android 12 quick settings menu looked awful to me, white straight next to black. Blur is overdue.

      Blur is garbage I don’t need.

      Fix the crappy space-wasting nonsense.

      Google is refining animations, adding blur

      How about refining UI control back to the user’s hand? Instead we have garbage that people with vision or motor-control challenges can’t use.

    All I see is more CPU/GPU power being given to irrelevant things that does nothing but make older devices run slower from the excess overhead.

    For most, except those with the newest devices, this will be a downgrade unless they change settings to reduce the use of animations. Not sure if there will be an option to disable the blur but I hope so.

      I turn off so much crap as it is, and crank all animations down to 0.5 (I’d go lower but this is just fast enough to no have stutter). I don’t need iOS-slow animations that “look cool”, I got shit to do.

      why would they need to do things that actually matter like privacy and security lol

      they got foss chads doing the hard work on that so they can circle jerk rounded edges and square

        I don’t think the UI designers are the people who usually with on security features

        “dingus” is so judgemental.

        What about a formal “my good fellow”? Or a friendly “brah”? Perhaps “bean-breath” if you want to push the Lemmy in jokes? Or even “dawg”?
