The Seven Voyages Of SteveDec 6

Ugh my phone updated to iOS 26 last night. Whoever thought Liquid Glass was a good idea needs a slap. Yeah let’s make buttons with text on them transparent, that will be suuuuper legible. Idiots. And to think they’re burning GPU time to make their UI worse. Who runs UX at Apple these days anyway? They clearly don’t know what they’re doing.

Luckily found Accessibility > Display & Text > Reduce Transparency so most of it is gone now

Another thing I’ve done on iOS 26 is enable the “Reduce Motion” accessibility option, because after less than a day I’ve found the squishy stretchy bouncy effects when you flip between screens or scroll around have become truly obnoxious and I just wanted them gone. What a design mess this version is out of the box

@sinbad we've had that in KDE for well over a decade, and I love it! Windows feels so primitive to me with it's stubbornly unsquishy rectangles these days.
