iOS 26 assumes everyone is an idiot. Extra confirmation taps and items hidden behind menus now. This seems like the work of an AI that thinks it’s smarter. #apple #ux #failure #ai

Politicians always forget they work for us.

I’m planning the death of two of my characters. #writing

Anyone remember iBeacon? It was supposed to be a big thing. What ever happened to that tech on Apple? #apple #beacon

Good morning. It’s a hot and steamy morning, but not on a good way. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Greetings. Stay cool, physically and emotionally. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

iPad OS needs an option to always show the active menu in 26+. Right now, most people don’t know or remember it’s there. Having the status/menu bar always visible doesn’t take up that much space or would offer much a distraction. It’s tons thinner than the Mac menu/statusbar. #ipados #ui #ux

Seven more scenes (“To Gain Knowledge - Coins of Destiny III”) mapped out. I’m slowly being converted from pantser to plotter. But I know much of my plotting will be for naught once the characters take over. #writing

Apps that offer a “challenge” are just trying to get you to use the app more. Your ego is everything. #app #design #marketing #ego

When someone tells you to “don’t sweat it”, tell them to leave the kitchen.

I ordered a salad for lunch. Rabbits gotta eat.

Snark filter engaged.

Relax. Drink water. Breathe some air.
