Liquid Glass feels very half-baked, with lots of details unaddressed. For example, here is the focus switcher when invoked via the action button. On a white background, it’s unreadable.
Focus mode switcher on iOS 26 on a light background. The text on the buttons in white, which makes it unreadable. Focus mode switcher on iOS 26 on a dark background. The text on the buttons in white, which contrasts well with the dark background .

Received this lovely email from Disney+ who recently lost 700,000 subscribers “clarifying” that “circumstances” might require them showing me ads even though I am paying them for no ads tier.

What nether tier of capitalism bullshit is this‽

Playing with Mistral LLM and I think I broke it.

I asked it to generate ASCII art of cats and then make it more elaborate. It then kept generating cats for like 3 minutes repeating the same thing over and over (see video in next skeet)

Are you in the clinic now” Followed by an incoming message of a yellow lab sleeping on a black couch. The dogs head is resting on a stuffed toy that looks like a teddy bear

I really do want to like Apple Intelligence, but it’s hard to take seriously when it prioritizes spam/phishing emails #aifail #llmfail

Monument Valley III is a an absolute delight!

Graphics, gameplay, storytelling, and music are in perfect harmony. It’s relaxing and heartwarming.

100% recommend especially if you played any of the previous games

Searching for “drinks” in my photo library came up with this. It was a tasty drink I had in the UFO restaurant in Bratislava!
A tall glass with pink translucent liquid, topped with ice, slice of pink grapefruit, and sprig of mint. There is a straw in the glass. The drink is next to window which shows a view a river from a high vantage point

Calling all filers in the $45k to $145k “middle income” is quite the range. A quality of life of someone making the low end is certainly nowhere near the person making the high end.

This needs to be further split up to be meaningful.

The striking similarities are there in a new report from H&R Block, which analyzed data representing 10.5 million Americans who filed their taxes with the company since 2000 as well as a survey of 1,000-plus taxpayers. Nearly half of these tax filers, 4.6 million, reported an Adjusted Gross Income between $45,000 and $145,000, which H&R Block deems middle income. While this included everyone across all generations, the highest average ages were 32 and 62 years old—the millennial and the boomer, respectively.
