Where Apple’s Liquid Glass Crashes the User Experience

Am I starting to like Liquid Glass for the good and the bad things? Like they say: with beta6, it might be growing on me.

Of course this will be a total flop… conditions aren’t there for such meeting.. not enough pressure on Putin, Ukraine may lose too much… far from ideal. What a bunch of clowns…

People are excited with generative AI and this is legitimate but this excitement overshadow a question we should ask more often about genAI (and about any new tech trends): what do we lose in return? My guess is tha... https://blog.numericcitizen.me/2025/08/11/people-are-excited-with-generative.html

In my opinion, the best place for Liquid Glass is on the Apple Watch, because the overall graphic content is much more standardized and controlled. You rarely get weird backgrounds under UI elements.

I’m about to move some stuff to Chillidog… advice?

Let’s ask Trump how he would feel giving up a few republican states to Mexico.

I see a big increase in subscribers to my blog on Ghost since Ghost 6 was released this week. I don’t know if that will last, but hey, I’ll take it!

This week, I had a conversation about genAI with my youngest son, who’s 21 and just completed his bachelor’s degree in communication. He shared that he was relieved to be finishing his studies at a time when students are increasingl... https://blog.numericcitizen.me/2025/08/06/this-week-i-had-a.html

Looking at the latest dev diary video from The Realmac software company, Elements CMS is progressing well, in my opinion. I can’t wait to try it out on Who Is Numeric Citizen website. But before that, I’ll have some more wor... https://blog.numericcitizen.me/2025/08/06/looking-at-the-latest-dev.html

Yesterday I showed my iPhone running iOS 26 to my son. I was scrolling through my notifications on the lock screen. The first thing he said was: woah… that is so… much harder to read.

Not cool. Not impressed. Just harder to read. He is 21. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Please Apple, do me a favor, and ship beta5 today because I want to see the light but not through this Liquid Glass.

I wrote these articles on Medium under the Numeric Citizen Journey in the last year and I wonder how different my readership would have been if I wrote these articles on Substack. Substack isn’t having a great time these days…

Here’s the latest edition of the Ephemeral Scrapbook newsletter. About this edition: “Amid Apple Intelligence delays, Apple still makes money, a lot of it. Doomsayers will have to wait. This edition isn’t AI-news free. Sorry."

Facebook, Meta, Zuckerberg: 🤮

Lac Brome!

Some are doing vibe coding but me, I’m having a good vibe because of the view. 😬😜

Using an external display with iPadOS 26 beta4 is still very problematic, especially when invoking the Control Center, the Notifications Center and dragging windows from the iPad to the external display.

Still no clear effects of Apple Intelligence delays on Apple’s bottom line, apparently. Apple is not doomed, just yet.
