Where did it all go so wrong?
Things went wrong when desktop UIs had to be phonefied. It started a dumbing down chain reaction, and race to the bottom. Built-in spying and advertising is just a side effect of this chain reaction.

Use Linux and make a desktop that looks right for you with themes/configs. That's what I do. It's not even that hard, just takes a little time and elbow grease. Which is worth it for a "space" that you're spending a lot of time in.
>>107644162>>107644161I still don't understand one thing: why rounded corners and Fisher Price aesthetic are a thing? It represents offensive design language. If you have ever been to a psych ward in a civilized country, they have sort of weird interiors along with rounded corners etc because it's supposedly easier for the patients.No real designer would willingly create anything with round shapes or at least when it is associated with typography and usability.
