I consider multitasking a discrete part of the OS, not Liquid Glass. i do have some thoughts on it though

for what it’s worth there are gestures they don’t tell you that make the multitasking so much easier: toggle maximization by tapping the top of the window, and then as they mention you can snap it to either side by smashing the window in a direction

also they added back drag and drop to Split View in iPadOS 26.2. after three months they finally have a stable release of this multitasking thing

I have found multitasking useful especially with stage manager, but I completely understand those who don’t like it and just want an option to restore the old multitasking. I also miss Quick Notes (workaround through a shortcut button just isn’t the same)

i find it great on the iphone too, especially with the new swipe interaction to go between tabs (not the safari kind; like in the app store swiping from today to apps). the cornering of buttons works wonders. plus i personally dig the aesthetic though i understand a ton of people don’t

it did make things feel better and easier-to-interact though … on the touchscreen ipad. it looks like hell on macbook

“hard to justify”, on par with “mostly harmless” turn-of-phrase (9)—ＷＯＮＤＥＲＦＵＬ

(i mean like the expression itself lol i love it i’m stealing it; my goodness what have they done with the menus)

It’s not just about digital privacy. It never talks about data privacy. It’s about consumer protection and social media’s nature being harmful. The only European law violations mentioned are anti-scamming + “𝕏 refuses to make its public data available to researchers”. It’s also explicitly in favor of KOSA, which lets the FTC ban anything it wants from children’s eyes online. It’s quite implied that the article supports banning social media for youth.

Is comparing social media to a dangerous drug over the top? Not according to the U.S. Surgeon General’s office, which in 2023 released an advisory titled “Social Media and Youth Mental Health” (download it now before RFK Jr. suppresses it!), which summarized extensive evidence of mental health damage to children and adolescents who consume excessive amounts of social media.

Okay, that comparison’s still wayyyy over-the-top.

You are not insulated from the effects just because you don’t use it. If you use the internet, chances are you’ve read bot output.

the inclusion of nothing phone in the lineup makes me unsure what op is looking for so i just assumed they was looking for general phone recommendations lol

the xiaomi 17 pro is getting a lot of hype for its display on the back, and this is the company well known for emulating an apple feel quite well on android… and being Chinese

nothing phone: are you aware that the nothing phone 3 got rid of the glyph interface?

i’m surprised that the fediverse manifestation here has not recommended the fairphone yet

I’m sorry, who the heck made the PRC stars white‽

an example is provided in the PR’s before/after

no, the banner is what you currently see on Lenny above a community’s feed. i changed the post title to hopefully clarify that

to display the banner that moderators want for their community/magazine (i just call it a commag)?

I like it too. The buttons are far easier to click on note and yes I’m using a mouse

loading images from disk? i don’t think they’d be keeping every single asset cached in their 6GB RAM all the time. unless you know of superior space-saving measures they have?

apple limits its set of screen resolutions to support as they are the sole provider of hardware supported by iOS. raster assets for each resolution would make perfect sense since they only have to support three or four different screen sizes.

that’s an entirely different thing. both raster and vector images are cached in RAM in probably the same format. that doesn’t make vector images faster

how does that mean it’s not true for RAM tho? caching is about the time it takes to (compute and) load things into the RAM and RAM r/w operations are pretty much always faster than disk
