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.

Turns out that was 100% hallucination as well as the steps to use it. It then said I should stick with efficient. Thanks for sharing about the new personalities. They are a game changer.

Stamps, stamps, stamps!

Four plastic stamp handles (three in light blue, one in red) laying on the side showing the bottom of the stamps in black. Below is white paper with four stamps of Classic Mac icons in black ink of the happy Mac, sad Mac, disk with question mark, and disk with an X.

@johnvoorhees I grabbed a TechWoven case. At first I was fixated on the texture. Then when I picked up my 16 Pro to test something, the silicone case felt so tacky and weird. Now the texture of the TechWoven just feels normal. Not sure I could do the silicone again.

@rmondello yo! Passkey question, what is the deal that Okta uses Passkeys as MFA but not for the full login process? Seems bizarre to enter a username, then a password, and then choose to auth with Passkey. Or is that my company acting crazy and doing non-standard stuff?

@tbsprs @droidcon

What is the context here? Like where you can’t use some form of shared code so you override and use platform specific code?

Also, were there only a handful of people at this presentation? 😞

How to make WebView in SwiftUI 26 work with safeAreaBar and behave with bottom toolbars in iOS 26 in general? Surround it with TabView, and hide tabBar! ‾\_(ツ)_/‾

By the way, see the "•" there? This is how I make top blur appear without the navigation title :-) Hate these hacks, hope they will be fixed soon.

I'll wait for iOS 26.1 beta, and if it is not fixed, will create a small sample app for a radar.
