My Mac is staying releases back, but iOS26 no longer respects light mode. Since I see astigmatic halation, this will be my last iDevice.

I run light mode on my iPhone and haven't noticed it switching to dark mode in any way. Do you have the automatic mode selection enabled accidentally?

No, this is not switching to dark mode, it's particular system features now being dark only, like notifications, search, control panel, and some other lesser things I don't specifically now remember.

> input is broken under Wayland

Drop the ‘Steam’, it's cleaner. Wayland's raison d'etre is to push frame buffers without tearing. Input is an afterthought.

> Input is an afterthought

This. You need more than graphics to have a windowing system. Wayland team threw out X11, did graphics and left the rest for the others to figure out.

That's odd, I'm using Wayland on my desktop and, for example, Japanese input works 問題ない. Then again, I haven't tried every possible input method/peripheral in existence, so I may just be the one in [some arbitrary large number] who lucked out.

Those were FBI agents. Expect a knock on your door any time now.

It's unfortunate that the US lawyers did not cite the reply given in Arkell v Pressdram.

You mean ‘safe devices’ that don't let hostile actors know everything I'm doing, right?

Yes, no-one knew what I was doing on my Vic-20, you should try it

> Then we've got this questionable design that seems hard to make accessible

I'm not a fan of ADA ambulance chasers on principle, but I wouldn't shed a tear see them be able to go after the bigcos that made this mess (e.g. IBM).

ADA seems like bullshit until something happens that costs you sight, hearing, manual dexterity, etc. Then it is significantly less funny overall, I assure you.

X11 was resolution-agnostic from the start, but the ‘desktop Linux’ crowd were so focused on imitating Windows that they ignored Unix lessons and made fixed-resolution toolkits like Windows'.

Fortunately it's easy to on MacOS to make a custom keyboard layout like that.

U+20E3 COMBINING ENCLOSING KEYCAP

Oh shit I didn't know! Amazing! Is there a COMBINING ENCLOSING BUTTON too? We'd also need SHOULDER, SHOULDER BIG and THUMBSTICK, then we'd have something.
