Out of sudden nostalgia, I googled screenshots of Ubuntu 14.04. I think it was my favourite version of Ubuntu. I used it for quite a while simply because Unity DE was in its best ever shape at that point. It wasn't the most customisable, but it was solid and consistent (at least on my machine). Then Canonical tried to make a cross-platform Unity for desktop, tablet and mobile, and I just couldn't get a taste of it.
Yet I don’t wanna see the sequel if it ever gets released 😅
I stopped watching anything from Marvel at the same time as most of us did - after the last Spider-Man. But today I suddenly chose to watch Eternals and you know what? I think it’s a solid movie. Yes, the main twist is a bit clunky and the cliffhanger unnecessary. But it has decent story, the character design is pretty good and VFX and the fights are simply amazing. I guess what helped is that I watched it completely disconnected from the rest of the cinematic universe, in isolation.
It turns out this time it was a mistake to buy a 128gb iPhone. I didn’t have any issues with the storage since I switched from a 32gb iPhone 5C to iPhone 7 Plus with 128gb in 2017. All my iPhones after that had the same amount of storage. Well, 8 years, it was a good run. Though I hoped I won’t be changing devices any time soon when I got this iPhone in March.
I also updated the app icon with the Icon Composer version. Tbh I’m not happy with this app. It’s unexpectedly slow and clunky, less straightforward than such a simple app should be and at the same time it feels too limited. I still don’t fully understand how the effects and other settings work. I just poke around until I get a satisfactory result. I’m going to update a couple more apps soon, so this will be another opportunity to use it.
I’ve finally migrated one of my apps to Liquid Glass. It wasn’t as bad as I initially thought. And the main beneficiary seems to be iPad, because previously the app looked a bit dull there (I targeted macOS in the first places, tables and phones were afterthought). While now it looks pretty neat I think. macOS version, on the other hand, doesn’t look as solid as it used to, but still ok. iPhone’s design is the worst in the trio, but that’s on me, I just never bothered to think it through.
@a_grebenyuk Same for me, but it also stopped indexing documents in the iCloud folder. Apps, dictionary, calculator and quick access to some Number docs are the only use cases I had for Spotlight. Half of it doesn’t work as it used to anymore.
I guess someone inside Apple is trying to free some of the market share for Alfred and Raycast.
@zepfhyr Hi! I’ve made a few fixes, but so far the feedback was mixed. I haven’t released this version yet, but you can try it on TestFlight:

Join the Irvue beta
Using TestFlight is a great way to help developers test beta versions of their apps.
@zepfhyr I had a couple of reports about this, but couldn’t pinpoint the issue yet because I can’t reproduce it in a VM and I still haven’t upgraded my laptop to macOS 26.
One thing I noticed that might be the reason - both users who sent me these reports had multi-monitor setting enabled (different pictures on each monitor). I you have this too, try to switch to the default “same picture” option.
@zepfhyr Yes, I thought I’ll opt-out from Liquid Glass for some time until it stabilises. But other functional fixes should definitely be made
