Reading my lock-screen notifications feels like a 💯 times harder now. Like I’ve reached the final iOS boss which requires superhuman vision.

It’s the first time I regret upgrading to the latest iOS.

Instant dislike of everything going glassy in iOS 26. You loose focus on text with a constant blur around every piece of content.

I can’t wait for the pendulum to go back towards more contrast and legibility.

@ivory all the Threads account I follow are now grey elephants with zero followers/posts. Did Threads change its API? Is it a temporary bug?

@asymco interesting video about a new “e-bike” concept in rural areas (in French). The creator says the e-bike can do 200km with 1€ of electricity. Also, he reminds us that driving a 1.5 tonne vehicle to move a 80kg passenger is nonsensical as 95% of the fuel cost are used to move the vehicle, not the passenger. The video shows that this concept could help better commute in rural areas (as he says, urban cities have transportation alternatives but not rural areas…)
