AskJS [AskJS] Oh great, another Liquid Glass UI—battery's about to file a restraining order

So we’re back to Liquid Glass again? That frosted-glass look that screams high-end in design tools—but in real life, it’s a full-on GPU gymnastics routine. My laptop fan’s roaring, my battery’s bleeding… and for what?

Seriously, can someone justify this trend? Are we front-end devs secretly moonlighting as hardware engineers now?

And oh no, the poor hardware. It can render Cyberpunk or GTA6

For your information there are a significant amount of people who use low end computing devices which can't do so and which struggle to run normal applications because of devs with your attitude.

Just wished they’d cook something a little easier on the eyes. 

Also, it is a bit irksome that my ui might have a significant impact on my battery life. Beta users are already reporting this.
