i’ve never made a Mega thread before, and I have no idea how to do it, but would anyone be interested in chatting and/or bitching about our experiences with this liquid glass nonsense?

first thing I’ll pointed out that you may notice is that it has a nasty habit of not capitalizing the first letter in the first sentence that I type in a text input box. to clarify, it will type it, but then when I submit it changes it to a lowercase. I can’t honestly fathom this one and I don’treally want to think too deeply about it.

I’m honestly so far not seeing anything particularly liquidy or glassy. Everything now has white outlines, like it’s for the visually impaired. That part I think I’m actually cool with, because of course it’s easier to make things out. Unfortunately, they have added required clicks into things that used to need fewer clicks, like screen grabs, and I am not seeing the benefit to that, and it’s definitely aggravating.

DESCRIPTION: A space for anyone who uses Apple products, appreciates what they get right, and wants to talk plainly about what they don’t. This is a friendly place for healthy criticism. You don’t have to love the company. You don’t have to hate it either. If you want honest discussion about Apple hardware, software, ecosystem choices, design decisions, frustrations, or pleasant surprises, you’re welcome here.

RULES: This is a place for:

Thoughtful critique, real-world experience, and respectful disagreement
Sharing tips, solutions, workarounds, and overlooked features
Questioning decisions without turning everything into a complaint thread
Welcoming users at any level of experience or enthusiasm

This is not a place for:

Trolling, pile-ons, or knee-jerk negativity
Brand loyalty debates
Personal attacks, sarcasm aimed at other users, or rhetorical grandstanding
Gatekeeping based on technical skill, platform history, or product ownership
Derogatory references to cults or fanboyism. I don’t actually believe those things really exist anymore. If you wanna talk about them in a historical context, that’s totally fine.

You use Apple. You think about it. (Maybe you think different). That’s all it takes to participate here.
