The Majority AI View - Anil Dash
A blog about making culture. Since 1999.
Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

something I like from the train wreck of #iOS26 UIโฆ in the notes app, the visible switch from layout and list options to text options when you select text. Itโs obvious what it does, and why. it was one of the few things that has delighted me when I discovered it!

#iOS26 is the first Apple update where I really, really wish I could revert it. The UI is poorly thought out with terrible usability problems, even with reduce transparency enabled. Swipe interactions have a very slight lag. Graphics and haptics are stuttery.
Overall, an F grade update.

Ugh, I donโt know why this is such a popular design trope for user interfaces. I get that it looks cool, but itโs so mid for accessibility!

does anyone know if itโs possible to turn off the weird glow that happens when you tap into text bars in #ios26? itโs distracting.
and for that matter, all of the superfluous movement? the โReduce Motionโ doesnโt actually reduce the motion thatโs annoying.

To make my notifications readable, I had to go into Settings > Accesibility > Vision > Display and Text Size and turn on Reduce Transparency.
Which isa big part of the #iOS26 aesthetic. Itโs just so bad.

Holy crap, my notifications are almost unreadable if I donโt have โreduce transparencyโ turned on.

I updated to #ios26, and everything has a slight pause before it happens now. Plus the UI is full of superfluous movement.
Not a fan.

Iโve seen that! I fear Iโd make something terrible that would DEFINITELY fry my system though.

I picked up a nice, working #Commodore64 system for a decent price. Now I just need to acquire a new power supply, so it doesnโt blow up.
Anyone know where I could get one in Canada? Iโm assuming Iโm gonna need to mail order it, since the retro tech scene in Sask is kinda small.
