I came here while searching for how make notifications linger for less time at the top of the screen. I think this time increased with iOS 26 but I could just be less patient because of the recent change.
Anyone know a good place to ask? I know I Stack Overflow and Reddit work, but I'm trying to use less US tech services. It seems like Lemmy should be a decent match, but I couldn't find a good channel. I figure people that are interested in things like this post might also know a good channel / alternative
Also, I just worked out why text kept changing and breaking things. During the update they created, and set on by default, these two settings:
Fuck Apple and all these companies that keep jamming genAI down their user's throats to make their launch metrics higher. And fuck all the software engineers that go along with it
Those settings are neither new nor genAI-based
Yeah, I wouldn't surprised to be wrong with how frustrated I was with words in config files changing + commands in the terminal having words updated just as I hit enter to run them. I updated yesterday, haven't had this issue before, and it stopped happening when I turned off those settings. I'd turned similarly named settings off on the iPhone years ago but never noticed them on the mac. With the names of the settings and the very similar fail mode to when genAI is added to IDE (things like updates being accepted when you hit the right arrow), I did assume a bit.
It still seems odd for me. I can't remember the mac ever taking what I wrote and changing it without some input from me.
Either way, my issue seems to have stopped so I'm pretty happy turning the settings off.
