What's so pathetic about this redesign of the #macOS drive icons from #Apple isn't that it ditches #Skeuomorphism, it's that it hangs on to skeuomorphism by trying to show a non-euclidian geometry vision of the face of a desktop drive.

Apple lacks the #Courage to go full geometric primitive and make icons that are pure metaphor. Given they're cargo-culting their own graphical history in so many decorative ways, they could have made uncompomised high-fidelity takes on the pre-Aqua icons.

And to be sure, action against power is dangerous and one must make their own choices about safety and the safety of their loved ones.

But change only occurs with courage and the willingness to be unsafe. Psychologically and/or physically. This is the battle raging in hearts and minds right now.

👉🏽 As Coach Wilder puts it:
“The only way you can protect people is understanding that the Constitution has a role. And we have to rely on that. And we can’t cherry-pick it.”
