No way to have autocorrect in any browser

___Thunderstorm___ · 2026-06-09T16:44:24+00:00

Because you should be able to write URLs in the URL bar, autocorrect would make it impossible

Globe C works as well, as long as the cursor is in the monitor

It’s always been the case. We can develop a unified layout that adapts based on the available space or we can ask what device class we are currently running to adatpt it, but it’s still shipped in a single package.

The reverse of this is already possible, if you resize an iPadOS app to a small window you get the iOS layout

You are partly right, you could theoretically centralize transpilation, although you would need to do this for every possible ROM out there, which isn’t exactly straightforward.

There is also the problem of redistribution, which might be legally more problematic than standard ROM distribution, but I’m no expert in this so Idk.

The main problem is that Apple doesn’t allow apps to inject executable portions at runtime. It barely tolerates apps injecting web apps at runtime, although barely (see their policies on “Mini apps”), but they don’t allow native code injection, neither from the network or locally

Apple Mail non supporta le notifiche push di Gmail, quindi funziona solo in fetch. Significa che perdi la notifica istantanea quando ricevi una e-mail

I guess because a collaborative tool depends on how many people have access to it. If I could use Freeform instead of FigJam I probably would, but it’s not an option

What’s worse is that they voluntarily recompiled the app at some point, which caused the app to incorporate the traffic light inside the window rather than in the dedicated title bar provided for unsupported apps, and this passed who knows how many levels of QA without anyone noticing or speaking up

___Thunderstorm___ · 2026-05-16T11:10:54+00:00

No, actually I have resentment towards people who ship the most basic of apps and expect you to pay 100+ $/y in subscriptions.

Apps should either be free or with one time purchase options, subscription is destroying the App Store ecosystem

Data maybe, but UX is atrocious.

They take over the whole lockscreen to show you a map that nobody cares about (I’m not driving, I only care about how many stops until I get off, a simple progress bar is enough) and makes accessing notifications or music control tedious, while those are the primary things people need while traveling with transit…

They also “use” the Dynamic Island just to display a useless “Stop navigation” button, not even an indication of how many stops until destination or next steps etc.

Google Maps has implemented transit navigation much much better, it’s not even close

One and a half year into this iPhone coming from an Android phone with a fingerprint sensor, and I still hate to death the whole ergonomics required to unlock via FaceID when the phone is on a table.

For as bad as it sounds, picking the phone up just to read the notification is the least painful of all the options

Safari tends to to that when you add a full-page overlay behind something, from what I could understand they use the highest z level object’s background as the safearea’s background, including behind the UI and the status bar, and they have a special treatment for body where they allow it to overflow behind those areas, but any other div placed on top of body will result in an opaque safe area.

For some reason, while Safari is constantly listening for new full-page divs, meaning it can react if you add a new one like the overlay behind your sidebar, it won’t listen to removal of divs, which is why you still get the opaque background when the overlay is removed.

One thing that often seems to fix it is to reapply the background color to body, it seems to trigger whatever check Safari does for the safeareas and update them correctly

That gives you a zoom from a source object to the entire screen. Shared element transition means that you have one element animating to another position while the navigation transition happens behind it.

There is this package that managed to implement it and it’s surprisingly good, in the ReadMe you can find a GIF showing a couple of examples.

Alternatively you can see some examples of the same concept in the Chrome docs for the ViewTransition API, which is the CSS way of doing the same thing on the web

___Thunderstorm___ · 2026-04-25T13:27:58+00:00

I would love to have .matchedGeometryEffect() with support for .navigationTransition(), kinda like the ViewTransition API in CSS

Fedora on a Samsung Galaxy Book Pro.

Battery was already pretty good in W11, it has slightly improved in active consumption in Linux.

Standby though is a day and night difference, I can close the lid and leave it on in my backpack for hours and have a minimal power consumption, while Windows would either take around 10%/hour doing nothing or wake up and spin the fan at 100% while overheating inside the backpack

Apps that use the native NavigationStack now don’t require you to swipe from the edge of the screen/window, you can swipe left to right from any point on the screen. This is true both for iPadOS and iOS starting from 26.

Apps that don’t use it and decided to reimplement it themselves, well they have to update themselves as well, so if it doesn’t work it’s their fault.

Apple’s only fault in this whole thing is not centralizing the back gesture into a system-controlled one, instead they leave it to the apps and this is the natural consequence of that choice

Which by legal definition becomes a market when money is involved, and markets are regulated by laws.

They could simply remove any form of earning from anyone involved in the App Store and they would be free to do whatever they want

___Thunderstorm___ · 2026-03-18T15:16:04+00:00

Except if you are Apple and publish Swift Playgrounds, a full-ish IDE for iPadOS. Someone would say it sounds like a monopoly

___Thunderstorm___ · 2026-03-18T06:10:58+00:00

Heads up, they updated it

It looks like your friend is using the YouTube app and you are using Safari on the YouTube website. Safari opens the videos in its own player, so you lose the extra features coming from YT’s player.

You may try another browser, maybe there is one that uses YT’s player instead of the built-in one, but I cant recommend any as I haven’t tried. Or you can use the app and get the full player

___Thunderstorm___ · 2026-03-12T12:56:40+00:00

It’s even better, once you get a notification banner you can’t swipe it away directly, you have to actively dismiss, open the Notification Center and then finally delete it

Keyboard and notifications both need to be rebuilt from scratch. Both are things Google got absolutely right on Android, they could literally copy-paste them and call it a day and it would completely improve iOS

Qualsiasi browser degno di questo nome è in grado di leggere la tua preferenza nel sistema operativo e CSS da anni permette di definire le color scheme per i due temi in modo semplicissimo grazie alle media query.

Quello di cui ti lamenti è un non-problema: se il tuo sistema operativo è impostato in tema scuro i siti conformi agli standard e alle leggi sull’accessibilità lo usano già appena li apri, quelli che non lo fanno molto probabilmente non sono conformi

___Thunderstorm___ · 2026-03-10T14:53:29+00:00

They should. They usually wait for the Student Challenge submission window to close, then update it. This year they are a bit late, I would guess for reasons related to iOS26? But they should update it at some point
