Pro tip: if you want to see what your app looks like with the new design on iOS 26 but for some reason can't build it with the new SDK, add the following to your app's launch arguments (or set it in user defaults):

"-com.apple.SwiftUI.IgnoreSolariumLinkedOnCheck YES"

Do yourself a favor and turn on Debug > ”Slow Animations” in an iOS 26 simulator and then bounce around within an app. It really lets you get a sense of the fun merging effects they are doing with Toolbars and generally how so much "life" the system is imbued with.

The way the glass droplets combine and separate is gorgeous.

Crazy.

I never would have thought how important the #Fediverse would become as one of the last communication networks that are not controlled by governments, directly or indirectly

Especially in times like now when almost all other ones are kissing the ring

Billionaires who are in control of most of our daily communication should not be trusted, our most valued digital forms of connection should be in control of the people like you and me

Thank you for being part of this❤️

“WHO DARES AWAKEN ME FROM MY AEONS-LONG SLUMBER?!”

“Yes, very good, excellent delivery, forgive me for not laughing, but you’re the sixth one today. You girls should have workshopped your jokes together before going into stasis”

“Oh. Ah? How long have we got until the big 10k, and how are my investments doing? And do you still have updog in the future?”

“It’s 2288, forget about year ten thousand we’ve got bigger problems. Your investments tanked in the quantum wars. And nice try but the last corpsicle got me with that one”

“Fuck. What now?”

“Asteroid impact is what
now”

“Cool, and you need programmers to calculate how to divert it.”

“Nope, we did that already.”

“And that worked?”

“Noooooot as such, no. Typo in the value of the gravitational constant.”

“Woopsy, so you need a cadre of 21st century digital girls to brainstorm a last minute plan B?”

“Nope, plan B worked just fine, the folks at the Indonesian moon base worked an incantation to kick the Earth a day forward in time, while the asteroid sailed through the empty spot. Well mostly fine; I can’t get used to the month being four days longer now.”

“Aha! You need us to work out how to get the moon back in orbit?”

“No, we’ll live with that. We need you to fix the timezone data files”
