@stux I remember when the web was a few gigs in total...
@andypiper Woah, canโt even imagine! But yeah, everything was sooo much smaller even a few decades ago

@stux And without โAIโ models?
@dzwiedziu Good question! I hope so..

@stux I ainโt never upgrading to iOS 26 if I can help it. Stick with 18.7.2! I donโt like the look of liquid glass personally

There arenโt too many details available about this hack, but we still thought it was interesting enough to share. YouTube user [Aussie50] seems to have figured out a way to install DOOM on anโฆ

@stux@mstdn.social Sometimes I miss when an operating system was a set of interrupt handlers that you'd add to the the single floppy disk that also contained your entire software application.
No... often, actually. -

@stux is the disk bigger by default these days? Or are these updates just creeping away the precious gigabytes?

@stux Another reason Iโm happy to be hanging back on iOS 18 for as long as a sensibly can

But you asked for all the AI slop to be soldered into it, didn't you?
Oh, wait... -

@stux If an OS image is more than 3-4GB in size, the developers have failed

@sayonaraminasan @stux I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max on iOS 18 that will not be updated to iOS 26, partly because I need it for developing apps, but also because iOS 26 is not very nice. It's all just fancy schmancy nonsense instead of what we need. While iOS might've needed a refresh, Liquid Glass was not the answer. It's got so many bugs and issues that won't get fixed. We're 5 months after release, and obvious bugs aren't fixed.
Apple's developers moved onto iOS 27. This is how it goes now.

@darkpaw same bro. Phone does what I need as it. I can only imagine that performance will be worse if I update it.
