  • you’re not complaining about “design trends”, you’re complaining about capitalism.

    everything is touchscreen because it’s cheaper than mechanical buttons.

    all products looks the same because 1. it’s cheaper 2. mass appeal is more profitable than niche, and 3. it’s risk free

    everything’s an app because they can collect data, push notifications, and force you into closed ecosystems.

    laptops are thin because they probably sell more as a lot of people prioritize lightweight and less bulky laptops to carry them around easier. phones are going the other way but when you’re talking laptops it’s kilograms rather than grams so the difference is more important.

    finally rounded corners are probably a design trend, although i am generally in favor of them.



  • turkey has a muslm population so as with most muslim populations they were aware of Israel’s atrocities before oct7.

    turkey in particular has a gripe with Israel as well, as they have tried before what Greta Thunberg is trying to do right now, to break the blockade with an aid ship by joining a flotilla, to which Israel promptly sent commandos and killed 10 activists on the ship. it’s surprising the number isn’t 100%, considering.

    of course no one else really gave a shit and the us/eu kept sucking Israel’s dick until they recently got too comfortable killing their people as well. but hey, better late than never.
