We are hard-wired to accept most things that most people say as truthful because the density of lies in the world is, or was, relatively low Now we need to fact-check every sentence, image and video. The friction added is hideous

I think Bluesky needs a better value proposition. Other than “come here if you want to escape X (formerly Twitter)”. Also a better app, especially for multi-account users would help too. thenextweb.com/news/bluesky...

Bluesky launches group chats and pivots to communities as growth stalls at 44.8 million users
Bluesky added group chats for up to 50 people and is building Reddit-style communities. The pivot comes as user growth slows and X shuts its own communities.

"There is cheating, but also significantly deskilling: an alarming number of students unable to participate in class or read something without passing it through a chatbot, incapable of writing their own emails or even breaking up with their partners without ChatGPT telling them what to say."

Is the Bluesky app still bugged? Do notifications still not switch to the relevant account? Does it still not remember the position in the feed? Apparently that’s still the case. 👋

“We have a population that has learned — correctly — that pharmaceutical companies have lied, that institutions have failed them…But the response has not been better skepticism. It has been the migration of trust from one set of financially motivated actors to another.” Great point here

Microsoft has introduced a bizarre bug with Task Manager in the latest Windows 11 update 😵‍💫 After the October 2025 optional update, Task Manager duplicates itself when you close it. It leads to multiple versions of Task Manager running, using CPU and RAM resources 😬

Can't wait! The "by designers, for designers" is so visible here. I don't mean to sound pathetic, but using a beautiful interface has an impact on me as a designer. At least I've been told that my design in the last couple months are somewhat more beautiful.

Laboratorní testy provedené ve dvou zemích ukázaly, že Alexej Navalnyj byl loni otráven. Oznámila to jeho vdova Julija Navalná. Dlouholetý Putinův kritik zemřel loni za nevyjasněných okolností v trestanecké kolonii na Sibiři. Podle ruských úřadů byla jeho smrt přirozená. irozhl.as/xkA
irozhl.as
Navalného dle laboratorních testů ve vězení otrávili, uvedla jeho žena. K testu dokázali získat vzorky
Navalnyj byl roky tváří ruské opozice a kritizoval režim prezidenta Putina, především za korupci. V roce 2020 přežil otravu paralytickou látkou novičok, ze které obvinil Kreml.

Take the new Liquid Glass style and tone it down, so everything is still easy to read. I love what Cultured Code are doing with @things.app. It’s one of the apps that made me switch to iOS, and which will probably keep me in the ecosystem forever.

@sketch.com One more feedback, something that was bothering me also way back in my early UX days: The character spacing shouldn't affect the last letter, as it doesn't work well with center text (adds a right padding to the text). Figma does it correctly.

Tohle levičácký nepochopení svobody mě vždycky dostane. Každý má svobodu k tomu, aby na sobě pracoval, vzdělával se a konal podle sebe. Svoboda neznamená, že jsou všichni bohatí. Svoboda znamená, že mají všichni možnost svobodně vyvíjet úsilí, aby se bohatými stali. A nejde samozřejmě jen o peníze.

Liquid Glass is pretty nice on tvOS 26, quite a small visual tweak to be honest. I wonder whether some people will even notice it. In Music etc. the buttons are much more obvious, those were too flat in the previous systems. Less tech savvy people will have easier time using the app.

It seemed financially demanding when Figma introduced the Dev Mode, but I didn't care that much as my company pays for it. But I was just thinking - doing a project on the side with 1 designer & 4 developers, the cost gets pretty high: Sketch: 12 USD Figma: 20 + 4x15 = 80 EUR

There are two different reasons hinted at here. One is the lack of backup encryption, which is a real issue with WhatsApp. They have an end-to-end encrypted backup mode, but it remains buried in the optional settings. Also you need to make a weird password.

Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."
