why are old things so comfy?

Minimal internet and brain rot

you didn't live back then, for me it looked lame and it slowed down my computer and everyone thought it's cringe and yearned for the days of olde when windows tried to look professional, and windows 10 with its flat design was made to appeal to us

I mean you can make your desktop comfy if you want with your own customization

They had to get you hooked before flipping it into outright psychological warfare, humiliation, and degradation.

Cell phones and wifi + chemtrails hadn't given people enough brain damage yet. That generation was also less vaccinated. The current designers were highly vaccinated and have never known comfort in any form. Many of them are also circumcised. The others are brown.

>>106122856 (OP)
It was the skeuomorphism, they were made to look like things in the real world like glass, wood, etc. Now UI is minimalist and boring. It normally looks like printed paper with no personally just matte colors and text with the occasional globalhomo figure. Flat and boring.

Because they reflect the era they were designed in, they were bright, exciting and optimistic because that what the world was at the time, modern design is flat, boring and dark because everything went to shit and everyone is an NPC brainwashed into endless consumerism by mega corporations and things are only going to get worse

>>106122856 (OP)
On a surface level, the problem is mostly that humans are losing categories of thought at a very rapid pace. The way of conceptualizing physical reality for the majority of people has become very simplified compared to back then, in part due to the fact that we live addicted to and inside our screens for most of our day. If you notice how bland and "soul-less" creativity has become, it means you are still above the norm in that regard. But nobody is immune, and unless something changes, we're going to end up like pic related.
The complete answer goes into metaphysics, and /g/ won't like it. Which is part of the problem, ironically.

tl;dr: brainrot

Fuck. MacOS 7.5 to 9.2 was internally FUBAR, but I miss when Apple was actually good at human interfaces.

because you know the fears of today, and have forgotten the fears of yesterday. remember when big business wanted to regulate the internet out of existence?

I just downloaded the beta version of iOS, you got your glassy "soul" back, in globohomo form.

>>106125982
It's interesting how these things were noticed decades ago, and they have only accelerated, to the point that we can no longer even produce meaningful dystopian commentaries on our society. All we can manage nowadays is doing shitty remakes.

Because we long for the time living wasn't so bad.

I just want general 98/2000 + Longhorn aesthetics with skeuomorphism thrown in

>>106123465
The 5s gold was peak phone design and software and its all been downhill since, we will never see something as good again

>>106130096
>with skeuomorphism thrown in
Every single Windows and Apple operating system since the early-mid 90s up to the late 00s has been skeuomorphic

>>106130096
nope, the other way around
I want Longhorn kernel + 98/2000 aesthetics

idk but I've been using Bluecurve for the last week or so and it's been quite comfy

The absolute state of zoomers believing this

>>106135714
they're right tho, old tech feels optimistic and joyful, flat design doesn't generate any kind feelings besides boredom

>>106136691
>old tech feels optimistic and joyful
That's not what they said, they said that was the general state of society, which absolutely wasn't the case. It might have felt that way to them because they were still in their preteens so current affairs like the "war on terror", the financial crisis, SARS, and hurricane Katrina weren't relevant to them.
