Postponed my ios update as much as I could. Things are now brighter, bigger, full of animations, and somehow worse to read and use.

Some buttons are so big and colorful and confusing that I feel like I’m using a child’s toy, or windows xp. This is horrible.

That's what I did with iOS 6 on my iPhone 4. I never did upgrade -- it was stolen before I was forced to.

Now it sounds like iOS 26 is going the same way. Makes me glad I own no Apple product new enough to run it.

I installed a little hack on my M1 MBA to block Tahoe, and it seems to be working. I wrote a piece on how to do it for others:

Bright, big, and colourful are exactly the things I want from a theming kit, though (that said, I'm a GNU/Linux head, if I have my way I'll never touch anything from Apple again).
