@kescherRant dude sometimes you need it a bit esoteric.
The nights I spend looking at this piece of wonderful trash flashing my usb sticks.. -
@kescherRant it works, so I use it.
-
@Midnight-shcode Its kinda ugly, but not horribly ugly in my opinion.

@theuser AFAIK it still doesn't have EFI support. So if it installs, it will only install a legacy bootable stick, which I want to avoid.
-
@kescherRant Between EFI support and a weird tingle in my dick, I choose the tingle.
-
@theuser Etcher does the same thing, is available absolutely everywhere and actually has a usable UI.
-
@PrivateGER Their slogan is way too cocky.
-
@theuser So? At least it actually works properly.

I mean, I've made worse. I wrote a wpf-based ui with full animated hacker ASCII-art rendered using direct-x in a polyganol transparent windows, deployed as a visual studio plugin for generating nservicebus handlers. Though to be fair, I was taking the piss; the director's only response during the original demo was the UI was too plain, so I added some hot sauce.

@SortOfTested You are my favorite kind of person.

@Sundeep For functionality yes, for enjoyment, no. Creating bootable sticks is about the most boring thing I can think of, so LiLi is the answer to that problem.
I would like to take a moment and recognize LiLi as the possibly most outlandish design for any software ever without looking horribly ugly. I mean just fucking look at it, it heavily relies on transparency, it uses traffic lights, it uses weird glowing bars, you cannot resize it, you cannot minimize it, it has this random mash of colors in the logo, it heavily relies on gradients, the border edges are very rounded and aliased, you have no idea where the boundaries of the fucking thing is.
Overall, its fucking great guys. I have no idea where the inspiration came from, but possibly the windows aero and a mishmash of other things?
