This feels like the biggest change to Instagram in … years? ever?

In iOS 26, this spacial scene feature appeared — fun but kind of gimmicky. I wonder if it’s intended for Vision Pro users? I wonder why it’s getting such prominent button placement considering it’s quite minor. #ios26

remembering 2016 when John Kerry skipped the inauguration to join the protest march. I appreciated that.

Rest in power, Jimmy. My father worked for Carter and I kept this photo on my phone. He’s off to the right there. I always thought that was cool.

Not from Illinois so I don’t have a horse in this race, but this might be the most promising. I would simplify further and remove the state map. Just Lincoln silhouette with stars. Paging @flagsforgood.com …

The end of the line for one of the Mac’s best pieces of software: Delicious Library. I used it for all twenty years and kept all my books organized. And yes, I had a shelf just for “good book smell” daringfireball.net/linked/2024/...

wait, you’re stage managing the progress window? the lack of thought that went into this is astounding.

it took them like 20 versions of Mac OS X and I don’t even know how many creative suites to deliver InDesign Finder previews.

I don’t even know where to begin with this UI. the structure of it? the impersonal nature? the feeling that it was rushed? system preferences is a tough product to reimagine — I even assigned it to students as a project once. but this isn’t it.
