That's after already upgrading and using iOS 26 on my iPhone after about a week.

Linh Pham @linh.social · 4d

It's not great on the iPhone, but it seems even worse on macOS.

After a failed attempt to get Proxmox VE 9 fully functional on a 2019 MBP, I decided to do a clean install of macOS Tahoe and my first impression of Liquid Glass on there was "Oof!".

I remember seeing them on Tiny Desk and they performed it as part of their set.

I would love it if #LiveWireRadio could have them on as a musical guest.

UPS battery for my compute stack decided to give up the ghost at 3 AM this morning. The spare that I had was completely flat.

Ran out and picked up a replacement battery and have everything back up and running again.

Yay...
