The virtue of QT based toolkits, which thankfully they haven’t tried to shaft KDE on, as long as the project is open source

Remember, if you’re brown and get accused of doing that, fat dudes pretending to be tactical black bag you. If you’re a rich celebrity and literally do that, people just laugh and it’s ok

There’s not really a great word for it either. Vaporwave became a “cope” for like technology out of time. Apparently this is a nickname for the trope but I don’t like it: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SchizoTech. Schizo tech to me is just literally doomscrolling TikTok while ignoring everything around you

Or even just a new DM in general. The whole thing is a group activity for mutual enjoyment. I ran a cyberpunk red campaign as the GM with 6 players for like a year, and it was my first time DM/GMing in general, and it was also a brand new system at the time. Everyone was very forgiving, lax and then serious in the story when it mattered. I certainly would have quit if people were assholes because my math wasn't there or I had to flip pages to figure out like fire damage calculations without having them bookmarked or whatever

I think spotify / discord / vscode (and derivatives) / slack are probably the most installed electron apps.

A lot of pretty popular packages in those lists are electron apps, unfortunately

Most of them get mad when someone says cis, because "normal people don't need labels" or whatever the fuck my drunk uncle will say this year while the kids open christmas presents

Yeah the Human Interface Guidelines were the precursor to design systems, and for a little while, design/ux really was front and center and that influence and patterns that worked spread through software projects and products. Nowadays sadly UX always takes a back seat to capitalizing on attention, and capitalism in general.

Edit: It's important to remember that Apple was writing 350 page interface books in 1992. They pioneered "look and feel."

Nowadays those questions are like

"Did the user make a purchase? How many ads did they see in 15 seconds? Are they still scrolling? How much data have you collected?"
