@vmbrasseur they do have a history of pushing tidy-up releases, but it’s unlikely they’ll offer a “revert to previous UI” toggle or any other way to significantly customise the #UI / #UX

#Apple is nothing if not obnoxiously opinionated about their design choices & for a long time (since forever? 🤔 it’s been ages since I’ve played with Macintosh-era gear) have been of the “we know best & you should learn to embrace our choices” school of user choice 🤪

it feels increasingly like being a (US) soldier who’s told to just “#EmbraceTheSuck” 😕

#shitUI
#shitUX
#iOS26 🙅‍♀️

^ a.k.a. the “give in to the Dark Side” school of choice 🤪

“Liberation” is not achieved through simplistic solutions or quick fixes; it thrives in #nuance and the willingness to persist through discomfort.

In other words, #EmbraceTheSuck because #WordsMeanThings.

“Embrace the suck.”

This is a phrase that I use a lot in regards to hiking and backpacking. When I use it I mean that despite your best efforts things may not always go your way. Yesterday I planned a ten mile hike near Augusta. It is one of my favorite sections full of meadows of wildflowers. It ended up raining during my hike.

Were my shoes soaked? Yep. Was I chilled? Yes. Did I keep moving forward? Also yes. Because that is what you do when life doesn’t go your way. You keep moving forward.

Do you know who else has to embrace the suck? Kids with cancer. Kids with heart issues. Kids that are facing dire circumstances.

I only had to face some rain and wet shoes. Those kids keep moving forward. So will I. So should you.

Embrace the suck. Help make the lives of sick kids suck less. Please consider supporting the work of Make a Wish of Michigan.

Oh Etsy… you know me too well. #EmbraceTheSuck

The words “EMBRACE THE SUCK” over a line drawing of a bearded man. Below him it says Marcus Aurelius (abridged)

Got to love working for an international company that has 24/7 support. Well I wasn't being forced to be on a 2:00 a.m. call..... And I volunteered for it.... It still sucks. But I'm doing what's needed for the customer... So I'm embracing this suck. #EmbraceTheSuck

I recently had a post #lifted , not reposted or boosted or whatever. I wasn't offended or felt violated (sure it was a little weird). Being one who often struggles with depression, it never dawned on me to just... oh I don't know... just claim someone's thoughts as my own? Then I thought, this guy must really be bad off if he can't come up with his own thoughts about #nerdcore #journals and a #fountainpen. It's not that hard people; just try being honest. #embracethesuck #theobstacleistheway
