@jon_alper good food for thought. Still, it’s only beta two. Let’s see what Apple does with beta three.

@davemark Not to be a wiseass but rather suggest a change in framing. If I were reviewing this as a submission from a design job candidate:

What meaning is intended to be conveyed with the red Do Not Disturb, green ATV and purple timer buttons?

How is the user helped by these colors being different if they bring Control Center down over a different home screen page?

Whet value is derived from the ‘content showing through' under a modal interaction like Control Center?

@davemark Asked ChatGTP and the first public beta for iOS 18 was released a week after the 3rd developer beta, on July15th.

@mgetzski I'm guessing Beta 1 was ready for prime time, but as a rule, I always wait for Beta 2.

So far, I have not encountered a single issue with B2.

I’m a big fan of iOS 26 beta two.

Apple made lots of lovely tweaks. Especially where liquid glass is concerned.

One tweak made Control Center more opaque, easier to read (see pic).

@WarnerCrocker I just started asking questions of both Siri and Alexa. Careful to phrase each question exactly the same for both of them. Tried to get a little obscure. For example, ask “what does top of keyway mean? “

@numericcitizen Interesting. Poor planning?

"Denmark is switching to Linux, says its Ministry of Digital Affairs, in a move that exchanges Windows and Office 365 for Linux and LibreOffice."

No small thing. Denmark is a significant economic player, particularly within Europe.

Will we see more of this?

Denmark is switching to Linux

The government of Demark is switching, to be clear.
