Should I be concerned that the iOS 26.4 update has in its description the text: "Software updates, like this one, add new features and improvements that may affect performance and/or battery life"?
Or do they always say that?

Oh no! Xcode 26.4 requires macOS 26.2 or higher. I guess this is where I get off the Xcode train (for now).
Arne BrasseurIt's clear that AI assisted coding is dividing developers (welcome to the culture wars!). I've seen a few blog posts now that talk about how some people just "love the craft", "delight in making something just right, like knitting", etc, as opposed to people who just "want to make it work". As if that explains the divide.
How about this, some people resent the notion of being a babysitter to a stochastic token machine, hastening their own cognitive decline. Some people resent paying rent to a handful of US companies, all coming directly out of the TESCREAL human extinction cult, to be able to write software. Some people resent the "worse is better" steady decline of software quality over the past two decades, now supercharged. Some people resent that the hegemonic computing ecosystem is entirely shaped by the logic of venture capital. Some people hate that the digital commons is walled off and sold back to us. Oh and I guess some people also don't like the thought of making coding several orders of magnitude more energy intensive during a climate emergency.
But sure, no, it's really because we mourn the loss of our hobby.

Brian WarrenFor the past few weeks, I’ve been making an iOS app called Kandili. It’s an app that brings to life the Orthodox liturgical calendar, readings, and feast days; with custom typography and handcrafted design. It’s pretty niche, but I had a lot of fun making it and I’m excited to share it with y’all. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kandili/id6759779981
Haven't heard of "Tecno"? Apparently they are particularly popular in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, India, Bangladesh and Egypt.

This is for medical research. Saving lives. When I say LLMs are killing people by killing research computing, this is what I mean.
