New for iOS 26.1: annoying window fade in/out effect! 👎 Was not present in iOS 26.0.1. I've fiddled with many a setting and can't get rid of it. Pho king hate it. Anyone else?

Released in 2017, but only recently discovered by me: "Feel It Still" by Portugal. The Man.
It's so gratifying to discover work from a previously unknown artist that hits you just right.

ANTI-CENSORSHIP CHEAT SHEET WHY? Visa, Mastercard, Stripe & Paypal have been censoring free speech & legal business online for TOO LONG. Most recent targets are Steam & Itch.io, but they have also pressured websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans & MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content their users can host & sell. If we as consumers & creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard. HOW? BOMBARD WITH PHONE CALLS Collective Shout, the org that lobbied to have Steam & Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa & MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyfans to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging phone lines for an extended period, over a month at least, will almost guarantee that these companies will have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive, but some contact points for the 4 targets are: VISA: (US + Can): +1 800-847-2911 US selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3 MASTERCARD: (US): +1 800-307-7309 US selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1 (Outside US): 1-636-722-7111 STRIPE: (HQ): +1 888 963-8955 (France): +33 805-11-19-67 Email: complaints@stripe.com PAYPAL: (US): +1 888 221-1161 (outside US): 1-402-935-2050 Customer Service: +1 877-569-1116 TRY TO HIT ALL 4 TARGETS PER DAY This is only going to have an effect if as many people possible call EVERY DAY for as long as possible. THIS IS A MARATHON, NOT A RACE. If you can, it is also a good idea to try to spread the word to organizations & groups that can either actively combat these huge companies legally, or can spread news, in a manner supportive of this movement, more effectively than your average person examples of organizations: ACLU Canadian Civil Liberties Association local legislators & government representatives examples of spreading the news: local newspapers special interest publications video game streamers

My standard martini is 5 parts gin and 1 part vermouth, but in his honor my next shall be made with heart full of youth, heart full of truth, six parts gin to one part vermouth.
