I'm not a holder of popular opinion here, but I hate Valve, I hate all of their games and I don't use Steam, I'd rather deal with Origin TBH than with that… thing!
But that's just me. And again, source of this rumour is far from being trustworthy, I think you guys can relax, this isn't happening anytime soon.

TFW you're not young enough anymore to date older women 😭

Sadly, it's just a rumour 😩
Not a fan of MS, but I'm even less of a fan of Valve, letting MS eat it and seeing it choke would be a dream com true 😈

@joel @donno
I suspected it to be a joke, hence the remark 😁
As for icons — I think we all use different sets of apps, the ones I use have lots of icons with rectangular shapes — either folder or mail envelope are base shape, so the change would probably be noticeable. But in any case, extra 2px is no big deal.

@donno @joel
Oh, yes, these look perfect!
Upon seeing what they did with UI in Android 12 the first thing I did was getting rid of the roundness entirely 😂
But I have backtracked on it since and now it's something in-between, the icons from this image would fit right in!

Те самые, что постоянно приходится затягивать потуже 😂

Post link if you're serious. Not that I hate roundness, I just like when it's subtle 😜
This indeed looks more modern, but I think that is the problem with modern UI design: they overdo it.

How so? He dropped out of uni to work for Microsoft, this company has practically jump-started his career 🤔

Don't! They will get you hooked on something trivial like "voice conferencing" or "having fun", but soon you will find yourself transferring rights to all your property to them! It's a cult 😱

This is the one that was supposed to cast in Unbreakable, but in the end they could get the original one and everyone sighed in relief.

When your replied to someone in one of those threads early on and went to sleep 😂

People who suggest it's a bad idea to have an optical drive can't possibly imagine the lengths I had to go to play C&C on my 386 not having one — and when Red Alert came out and there was no No-CD hack for it, a friend of mine let me borrow his one, when he was going to the country with his parents.
It was barely playable, but I was still happy 😄
Why go into trouble now when having one isn't a problem? Having authentic experience™ shouldn't be about frustrations 🤔

@Komnene
If you ask me, what they are attempting to do with articles like that is to send mixed messages, so some (businesses) get the message right and start investing, and others (consumers and people who work day to day jobs) don't: "Just trust your monetary and financial institutions, are you stupid?!"
Nothing good will come out of this IMO.
I might be wrong and this article could be about something else — but I won't hold my hopes high, not with a subtitle like that.

@kaia @finlaydag33k

@Komnene
Yeah, consumerism is also a problem — most would spend their money not on something that would enable them to earn more and not even on something that would increase their quality of life, but on something completely useless.
But it's a different problem — same as perceived inflation that they often refer to in these articles.
And yet high inflation is usually a quite clear message from central banks: it's time to spend, not to save.

BTW as a Russian — I've seen a couple of cases when even getting a loan and spending it on total shit like shiny new computer or phone wasn't such a bad idea, because it was literally about never seeing interest rates like that ever again 😂
But I don't think that Americans will ever experience something like that in their life.
Here people buy foreign currencies like US Dollars or Euros when they foresee high inflation risks — basically it's the same as buying TVs.
