inspired by firefox 157. it’s time for me to vent my hate.
enough of this shit. enough rounded corners. enough “pills”. the tyranny of the pill-shaped element is killing my enthusiasm for the computer.

Bill Atkinson, creator of QuickDraw, also hated them. Steve Jobs made him a bet: I’ll take you to lunch and we’ll count all the square corners and all the rounded corners.
Bill conceded by the time they got the menus at the restaurant, and figured out how to draw rounded corners as fast as square ones.
those classic system software rounded corners were more tastefully done, like on buttons on dialog boxes. not on every literal visual element on the screen. >:(
lol real life barely anything is sharp. Even stuff made by humans you usually want to chamfer or bevel. Sharp shit hurts.
Case in point: cybertruck
