There’s no direct conflict at the moment and while Azerbaijan did their ethnic cleansing in 2020-2023, one might argue it’s been done inside their own borders so there’s no issue in the global point of view. But Azerbaijan keeps threatening Armenia with an invasion unless Armenia agrees to an extraterrestrial corridor through their territory, and one might argue empowering Azerbaijan with more gas money and influence over Europe might lead to an open conflict.
By switching to Azerbaijan gas instead, which is of course so much better
I’m not against experimentation and changing things. I liked Material 2 but Material 3 is an improvement in every way. Even some of the changes in this redesign are pretty good. My main issue is with the blur. I don’t think it works well with bold contrasting colors that Material aims to use.
And regarding your point on icon shapes, I kind of get it but also I get the reasoning of having uniform sizes — it does look better. I wish there was a way to have different shapes that are uniform in size. They’ve made these new various shapes and they look nice but it would be even nicer if we could apply different shapes to different icons, and not use one shape exclusively for everything.
I don’t like it. Blur makes most of the UI less readable.
I don’t know. This is not a solution but a change from one dictator who already started a war to another one that hasn’t yet. Not to mention the fact that Azerbaijan magically increased their gas production the moment the EU decided to phase out Russian gas. It’s Russian anyway and Russia profits from it anyway.
There’s no quick and easy solution. I don’t have any suggestions. The EU wasted a lot of time already, best they can do is actually stick to their plans, gradually phase out any need for gas at all, and not waste any more time. Doesn’t really matter where they are getting it from.
All I’m saying is this RU -> AZ switch is not an improvement from a moral point of view and most likely not in a financial sense.
