I’m in a meeting where the main presenter is using Linux. The typography in every Linux distro I have seen is horrific. Everything, right down to how websites render, looks so bad.

I can’t fathom how people deal with it.

@gruber I love the “Efficient” personality on ChatGPT. I asked ChatGPT which personality matched me and it described a setting not in the menu: R&D Specialist.

Reports of Slide Over’s Death Were Greatly Exaggerated

Well, that didn’t take long. In yesterday’s second developer beta of iPadOS 26.1, Apple restored the Slide Over functionality that was removed with the debut of the new windowing system in iPadOS 26.0 last month. Well…they sort of restored Slide Over, at least. In my review of iPadOS 26, I wrote: So in iPadOS 26,
