Very proud to be a part of the Fediverse on days like this. Didn’t see a single stupid post about his stupid, fascist parade today and my timeline is FILLED with posts, images and videos of the counter protests.

You keep doing you, Mastodon. You’re alright. 👍🖖

They REALLY gotta do something with improving readability in the next betas. It’s the default background! And I can barely read anything.

REALLY want to try the FoundationModels stuff out, but my test device doesn’t support Apple intelligence. Ugh.

Love the new (old) camera app icon. Maybe this is just some developer beta 1 fun?

"Badge In".

I'll allow it, since this is ostensibly a security vehicle. But goodness.

Did I miss it or did Apple not mention accessibility once when talking about their amazing new user interface?

How does a dynamic bouncy glass UI work with reduce contrast, reduce motion, VoiceOver, Voice Control, etc?

Usually Apple is pretty good with accessibility and likes to talk about it so I thought it would at least get a mention.

If your app crashes on 0x400000000000bad0 when running on the new stuff, it means you have an ObjC strong variable/property being concurrently mutated. developer.apple.com/documentat

Kids thought that end song was hilarious, and tbh, I kinda did too - just the right level of cringe and goofiness.
