Looks like Split View is back on the menu y’all!

Quick demo here of iPadOS 26.2 beta 3 where Split View seems to mostly behave like it used to (aside from some bugginess). Oh thank the traveler, hopefully no more tedious stoplight buttons and menus all over the place.

A new iOS exploit lets you use iPad-style multitasking on iPhones, including Stage Manager, windowed apps arranged in floating windows, or a split-screen view. It's unclear how useful this is on small screens, but goes to show that iOS and iPadOS are basically the same OS. https://idevicecentral.com/ios-customization/how-to-enable-ipad-features-like-multitasking-stage-manager-on-iphone-via-mobilegestalt/ #iPadOS #iOS #Multitasking

Started downloading an album in #AppleMusic for iPad, then my sidebar started dancing. Weird.

A short video of Apple Music for iPad, where the playlist area in the left sidebar begins contracting, then expanding back to normal. Almost like stretching a rubber band.

#iPadOS 26

#Apple allowed a bunch of Mac curmudgeons and luddites into the iPad department to strip out all the great features and simplicity of the iPad just to add all the tediousness of the Mac because they cannot be bothered to learn anything new or different

Yeah I said it

I mistyped 'mv' today and accidentally ended up typing 'mg' - which started the MicroGnuEmacs editor.

I've been using #emacs for two decades now, and I wasn't aware of #mg

This is life-changing and might replace #vi entirely for me.

Now can somebody please port this to #iPadOS?

The first public beta of iPadOS 26 is here, and it makes Apple's tablets feel more like desktop replacements than ever... although for best results you're going to want a newer model with an Apple M series processor. #Apple#iPadOS#iPadOS26#Multitaskinghttps://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/07/ipados-26-preview-the-rare-software-update-that-makes-most-old-hardware-feel-new/

Step 3: turned off #iCloud syncing of calendar, notes, contacts etc. in favour of local syncing (first time via USB from my mac Mini, then after that by WiFi). Clunky, but works. Might switch to an alternative #E2EE service, like Proton or fastmail, soon

UPDATE: the local #macOS / #iOS / #iPadOS syncing process is so fucked I had to go back to #iCloud temporarily, until I get the beta #EteSync app working on my #iPhone
