Back when all screens were more-or-less the same size and nothing ever had to scale. Your UI was the size it was, and if your screen was too big, too bad! You can either stretch it and deal with the pixelly mess, or squint your eyes to see the teeeny tiny program.
Banzai Buddy!
My neighbor intentionally installed that shit on his family PC when we were like 15.
A lot of people installed this shit. Because they’re visiting fuckmybeaniebabies.net and a popup is like “Install our spam bar for a chance to win herpes!” And they happily click ok.
Oh look, my grandparents PC circa 2005
I was in the hospital in 2015 and was talking to the person next to me. He realised I was in IT and as he turned his laptop to me he's like I can't seem to view websites anymore with toolbars up the wazoo. It was already a throwback even at that time
Edit: wording
I've seen this toolbar hell before. I've had to clean many a pc of this toolbar hell before.
Oh neat. Chance to win a free lobster dinner. Gonna click it.

I prefer minimalist ui. This just looks messy.

Is this supposed to be on a farm? What’s going on outside that window?
I feel like some of the old cluttered WoW UIs might be an example of maximalism, by trying to show as much information as possible.
Eve players: noooo... It's not just a spreadsheet
Veteran WoW players: hmm... I can still see the actual gameplay, lemme add another stat display
And they still wiped.
To be fair, they only had a thirty-two point three three uh, repeating of course, percentage, of survival.

I can't tell you how many fleet fights I literally disabled graphics and only had the overview and chat. Especially multiboxing, I might have one with graphics. Not necessary for most.
Lol I had all of those and then some but I also had enough resolution/UI scale that it was all tucked to the sides (other than the nice looking hp/mana bars that framed the middle of the screen).
Did the people who stood in fire do so because they couldn't even see what they were or weren't standing in? Should guilds have done fund raising to buy better GPUs and monitors to best help progression? Thinking back to when I had a hand in guild leadership, it didn't even occur to me to base any recruitment or raiding roster on PC specs, but it seems so obvious now in hindsight. Too bad I can't go back.
The 15 FPS indicator is the icing on the cake.

Back when games were measured by how enjoyable they were rather than a little number in the corner.
Healing back in the day was definitely like this.
This looks like when you first discover that your Linux desktop environment supports adding infinite taskbars

And you just know the globe rotates when you hover over Habitats, and the drawers pull out when you hover over those
I had this as a kid. It absolutely did all of those things, and the intro cutscene showed this menu as just one nook in a giant museum with other things to see. I had a few of their other games as well.
I can all but guarantee that a lot of the curiosity and enthusiasm for learning that I had as a kid was directly thanks to these edutainment games. Compared to my overwhelming adult apathy it really stands out.
Back when software had a soul...
This is not the era of the internet I remember fondly. I liked the static internet of the 90’s then when it started getting more minimal in 2010’s when flash was on its way out.
It's time to bring back skeumorphism
That is probably what the image in the post is about, really.
It's supposed to make the program more accessible for those who are not used to the concept of computer programs at all.
It will come back when all the big players are only offering cloud services, to ensure normies don’t demand that computing be allowed in the hands of everyone again. “It’s so easy to use! Why couldn’t those old PC things get it right? God those were terrible, I’m so glad we subscribe to ChatGPT for $80 a month, and those scary Muslim leftists get ion-cannoned when they have conversations about how they want life to be better instantly now.”

On a side note. There was Magic School Bus game like apps, which were brought to the public by none other than Microslop. What a time was that..
skeuomorphism was all the rage for a while and I loved it
