As reported from MacRumors: A new button for camera-related functionality coming to the iPhone 17 Pro? Will they fix or improve the Camera Control? I hope they work on that, too, just like when the iterated on the haptic engine in the early days of the iPhone.

Two apps. Tapestry on the left, a beta that supports Liquid Glass. Micro.blog on the right, still not supporting Liquid Glass. Look at the elements spacing and content areas. This is the future that awaits us.

OneNote, an app made by Microsoft, running on Windows 11, an OS made by Microsoft, doesn’t support text selection by double clicking on a word and dragging across, word-by-word. It’s 2025, for god’s sake. But we have AI everywhere, there’s that. 🤷🏻♂️

At beta 4, my general sentiment toward Apple Liquid Glass is generally worse than it was with iOS 7, back in 2013. 😵💫

I wonder if Apple has a “disable Liquid Glass” kill switch at their disposal just in case things turn awful before September launch so they can get more time refining or scrapping Liquid Glass altogether until next year? What would be left in os26 then?

I’ve been trying Claude AI recently and beyond the answers I get to my prompts, I really like the output style, much more than OpenAI. By order of preference, it goes like this: Claude, Perplexity then OpenAI.

Today is beta4 day, and if this catalog of Liquid Glass failures is any indication, it either a lost cause or beta4 might be the turning point.

I’ve been using the Digg beta for a few weeks, and I have mixed feelings about it. I appreciate its design and the way users curate links and content. However, I worry that it might become as toxic as Reddit once it opens to everyone. Just this morning, I participated in a thread where some users were posting angry comments—albeit mildly—toward someone who disagreed with the majority. The argument is simple: Reddit is a toxic place and people want an alternative. Digg came up trying to be different but some people think that under the surface, it will become as toxic as Reddit. Boom. I wonder if the Internet can ever be a place for debating.

Updated this living catalog of design flaws while using and experimenting with Apple Liquid Glass. I reworked the exhibit heading section with tags. Currently, sporting 26 exhibits and counting.

I’m testing the Comet browser with Perplexity integrated, though I’m not entirely sure what that means, yet. It took me less than 30 seconds to summarize a 23:40 minute video, as shown in this screenshot. If millions of people do the same, video creators will likely see a significant drop in view counts. And millions of people will probably save a lot of time watching a video that could have been a one-paragraph blog post. 🤦🏻♂️

I just discovered that you can have more than one newsletter on Ghost. Maybe I could use it to restart my Photo Legend Series?

Jesper on the upcoming iPhone 17 Air:
So, while I don’t necessarily agree with the consequences of the inexorable march towards new frontiers in terms of super-slimness that no one asked for, the ergonomic benefits of a larger display in a “small”-ish footprint are interesting enough that pursuing it may be necessary to avoid a relative brick.
I think Apple is doing the iPhone 17 Air because they wanted to make the iPhone Fold first.

It’s been a while but recent news and trends about AI-based bots trying to ruin the life of psychologically vulnerable people triggered an update to my /nope page.

I’m really liking my experience with Realmac Software’s Elements to build my new landing page. I’m not an expert at website design but with Elements, I feel empowered. The learning curve is not the easiest one but following all the videos they publish on their YouTube channel plus visiting their forum helps a lot.

How depressing this is. These are filtered Google News results with the keyword “ChatGPT”. Look at some headlines… Now, consider this quote.

The upcoming CMS feature in Realmac Software Elements is sooooo cool, flexible and powerful. Even RSS feeds are supported! You can see that in action in their latest Dev Diary video.
