If you're like me and are trying to study and inspect the new Liquid Glass effect, I've built a small utility app for you!

Test Liquid Glass with all the different options, tinting, sizes, and backgrounds — only for macOS Tahoe for obvious reasons.

I'd scream if I had any energy left...

Wow. This new macOS 26 UI is quite bad.

There's a huge waste of space everywhere.

It's supposed to elevate the content, but my attention is constantly being drawn to all the raised toolbars with huge shadows and sidebars lacking contrast everywhere. The content is actually taking a background role in the middle of all of this. The new toolbars are a huge distraction.

The app icons look amateurish and ridiculously lacking in detail and refinement.

Another sad major update of macOS. 🙁

I like Peloton a lot; I think they have a great service and excellent hardware.

But every time I complete a workout on my phone and see this screen I pull a muscle laughing at the cheesy writing 🤣

Screenshot of the iOS Peloton app with an icon have a hand slapping like a high five, and a title that exclaims: “You did that!”

@joesteel thanks, you’ve cursed me

Screenshot of the photos widget on iPadOS. The text for some reason describes “Dublin” as “Dublin 2 & Dublin 1” and is also superimposed on top of the face of the subject of the photo. It looks bad.

The #NoKings crowd in Fort Worth was probably twice as big as the Hand's Off protest from April. I'd say several thousand. I have no good shots of the crowd in the park or all the honking cars. But it was a festive and peaceful event.

A woman in a blue blouse and a floppy sun hat holds a sign above her head that says "of the people, by the people, for the people.A man in a U.S.S. Lexington t-shirt holds a sign above his head that says No Fucking Way with the letters NO and KING in bright red and, with a graphic of the "no kings" logo.Four cowboys carrying Mexican and American flags ride horses down the street past a crowns of people watching from the sidewalk.

A photo that I snapped an hour ago of the San Francisco #NoKings protest. I estimate about 150,000 people in total.

Holy shit.

Helicopter live showing the #NoKings protest in #LA from the air. There's a huge huge huge crowd... then over a couple blocks there's another huge crowd, and down the other way there's another and another...

Edit: Reporter (for I think it's channel 7?) just said he estimates there is at least 100,000 people.

Apple love to preach "the UI gets out of the way of your content" with each new redesign, but how true is that in practice? Let's compare the total height of the Safari UI with a toolbar, favourites bar and tab bar visible, across the three latest Mac OS design languages – Yosemite, Big Sur and now Tahoe. I've added a red line for emphasis.

It sure looks to me like the UI is eating more into my content with each redesign.

Collage of three screenshots, showing a comparison of the upper left corner of Safari between Mac OS 10.10–10.15, 11–15 and 26. With each redesign, the Safari UI gets taller.
