Yeah, my phone is just an accessory I keep in my pocket, but only when I know I may need it for something, e.g. time or calls. Sometimes I do not even take it with myself. No reason for me to do that. I just hit 30.

I feel you guys, but do you read and write here from your laptops? I never come here from a desktop browser, only a smartphone.

I do not own a laptop, I get on HN from my desktop, never from my phone, although I do have "Hacki" installed, I just never use it.

> I feel you guys

contemplates life... I'm getting old. :D

Wow, in the process of making the send button slightly easier to find, they reduced the amount of actual content in the screen by a couple lines. And they still overlay controls on the content, thus obscuring some of it, just like earlier versions of Material Design. The prettier and more fun modern UIs get, the more I miss the UIs of the nineties. Controls looked like controls, screen space was well utilized, and ev…

This is a worthy tradeoff! Phones are bigger than ever and scrolling is incredibly simple.

How did these clowns manage to make my mouse cursor laggy? It is incomprehensible for me to live in such a big bubble with such a big paycheck and then spend zero brainpower on systems without graphics acceleration. This is extremely bad engineering and these engineers should be called out for it. It takes a special kind of person to deliver this and be proud of it. Once they made their millions at Google these engin…

The expressed goal is emotionally impacting UX. They clearly got strong emotions out of you. Mission accomplished!

And they are very well paid for all that work!

Note that many, many apps hardly use the default Android UI elements and instead implement their own design. So it isn't helpful when the official Android UI elements don't contain any fancy "expressive" designs. If they aren't fancy enough, app developers simply won't use them and go with their own stuff, which will be even more inconsistent with the rest of the OS.

At this point, I am rooting for Google to do anything it wants then current design. For now material design looks like cartoon network to me. The best design in modern times I liked was of Microsoft fluent 2. I badly wish for skeumorphism to come back, but now have left the hope.

That's a mixed bag. Have a look at the linked https://m3.material.io/blog/building-with-m3-expressive to get a better impression of what this is about. From the guidelines given there, many parts of the design make sense and will help designs work better - grouping objects properly, be aware of contrast to highlight important elements, more options for good typography (instead of basically none, Android/Material offe…

I have simple question: WHY that page results, in recent chrome with all sorts of hw acceleration, on powerful laptop, to suck over 6 cores of cpu. As in, Chrome's internal task manager shows over 600% cpu use. I have less cpu use playing recent-ish AAA game with maxed out details in 4k resolution

The one I linked to? No idea. Works fine in Firefox with Ublock Origin from that perspective, but also there the side menu does not render properly and the JS console does not look happy.

Wow, I’m on my phone and the slight upwards motion that each paragraph does as it scrolls into view is almost instantly nauseating. I had to close the tab after reading only the first two paragraphs (and scrolling down the page to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating).

First time I’ve had motion sickness from reading while not actually moving. Well done Google designers, that’s impressive.

Reader mode to the rescue.

Why's it all pink? Are they really making the default theme of the future pink? If an update makes my phone pink, I'm throwing it away.

The big thing of this design system is that you can change the colors ;)

Yep. I have to say that it differs - it happened over half of the times I opened it, but never when I tried to figure things out with DevTools. Originally I noticed when I had it open in background and entire system started lagging from load.
