On Liquid Glass, there's really only one relevant remark:

β€œIt’s a very strange thing for a designer to say, but one of the things that really irritates me in products is when I’m aware of designers wagging their tails in my face.”

If I’d land in that situation I’d probably ignore all of them and start with going to customers and talking with them πŸ˜…

Ahhhh MobLand. 10/10. So good. From soundtrack to script.

There’s also an excellent short https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04W1Wpnb_Us β€” Bob Odenkirk is the unlikely action hero we all needed.

To be fair we don’t get reliability with the current Siri either.

Women's dating safety app Tea hit by data breach impacting thousands of photos Tea, a dating safety app which allows women to anonymously give men red or green "flags," says it had more than 70,000 photos stolen in a data breach.

The scary thing about the data breach of the Tea app where people’s government IDs were leaked is that multiple governments are passing laws requiring people to provide their ID to random apps and websites to prove they’re 18+.

We are going to see some incredibly embarrassing leaks in the future.

Als het nieuwe station even mooi was als dat podium konden we daar ook nog trots op zijn.

Helaas is het bij een felroze stelling gebleven.

Jammer dat de oppositie geen zwijgakkoord heeft, want die ben ik ook wel beu gehoord.

β€œVirtually everything I’ve watched recently has been some variation of rich people pottering around in β€˜aspirational’ compounds,” @sophiegilbert.bsky.social writes. These depictions of extreme wealth on the small screen have become, well, quite boring. https://theatln.tc/r1iX7sej

Next week, we’ll be able to tell the level of how fucked Apple really is by them either not mentioning Genmoji and Image Playground at all, or doubling down on it.

My guess is it’s going to get worse before it gets better.
