@qagggy.bsky.social the amount of shadowing you get depends on the compass direction the street runs in, the time of day, and whether you’re in summer or winter in higher latitudes. If you’re in northern Europe, the quote is very very likely true. Been there, lived in such a street.

Liquid Glass’ blurred content everywhere is especially cruel to those of us who use reading glasses or progressives.

The reflex to seeing blurry text on our phones is to adjust our sight angle or distance to sharpen it. But, of course, it’s not our fault, doesn’t sharpen, and just causes eyestrain.

Text on my phone should never be blurry.

@tommorris they should add to be suspicious of articles that use exactly none of these words and phrases, as those are written by LLMs warned not use them 😄

@ttscoff I use IceCubes on iOS because it doesn’t auto-jump to the newest-post position at the top of the feed. Your scroll position is sticky and you can pick up where you left off.

My printer just told me it was joining a band.

Which makes sense.

It loves to jam.
