  • Why is this?

    Most corporations have the inertia of a rock when it comes to changes. There is no real reason behind it. Implementing IPv6 is a no-brainer. Same with NATing legacy systems so they can continue using IPv4.

    Instead of manually juggling IP addresses, properly set up environments use hostnames and handle DNS automatically.

    It’s basically “we/I don’t see any short-term benefit from it, it causes some setup work, and it is not important because everything still works”.




  • There is clearly a lot going on in your UI! It’s always great to see how people customize their environment and funny how corporations like Mozilla think they know better.

    I don’t mean like minimalism. I’m clearly more maximalist in my themeing than you lol.

    Oh, my theming is maximalist. Especially labwc: It’s 100% custom from ground up for theme and configuration. Not one single bit was taken over from the default configuration. It’s just the result that is minimalist 😆

    Same with Firefox: I override almost all of the tabs styling with custom configuration.




  • Yes, it’s fortunately just a trend. Just like websites. At one point tiny 10px font for main text content and absurdly small navigation buttons were seen as “modern”, nowadays huge empty spaces and 30px fonts are the norm.

    Or Javascript vs no Javascript, this also changes every few years.

    I just hope this ugly mess will just be the annoying design fad of the year.
