…aaand it’s back for me

That was the shortest outage I’ve ever experienced

[rain @obsidian_master]

oh wow this is the first time i’ve seen reddit down and it’s not because of my isp lol

[rain @obsidian_master]

@sadieOX360 ...regarding the transition, I think it's just because of my shaders that made it look not so smooth. Without it, the same pattern on the background is visible on the portal which allows it to switch between screens better.

I have not played Minecraft as my main game for a while but still boot it up every now and then to test stuff...

...I didn't know the background of the end credits was no longer dirt???

[rain @obsidian_master]

@sadieOX360 When I looked into their old articles earlier, apparently around 2024 with 1.20.5 when they made some changes to the game UI

Interestingly enough, on the Linux side, my GPU does have drivers where Vulkan 1.3 support is backported so I guess I'll just run the game there

[rain @obsidian_master]

Welp, turns out the reason why it doesn't work anymore is because Mojang's Vulkan implementation and VulkanMod both use VK_KHR_DYNAMIC_RENDERING which is apparently not supported on Vulkan versions lower than 1.2.197.

...my old GPU is stuck at 1.2.170 lol

[rain @obsidian_master]

Didn't know Mojang already released a snapshot that has the Vulkan renderer.

I tested it on my old PC and...

...it has the same issue as VulkanMod for some reason where it doesn't detect I have Vulkan 1.2 lol

...VulkanMod crashes the game while this just falls back to OpenGL

@aaronp613 I’m now wondering if this will be the case for all 32-bit devices at this point based from the pattern.

[rain @obsidian_master]

Huh, on iOS 27 Beta 3, for some reason, liquid glass elements no longer adapt to the background for me. Whether the background is light mode or dark, it just stays at dark mode for me now.

For comparison, this is how it used to behave in:
Beta 2 vs Beta 3

My ever so intelligent, non-AI Siri:

@app_settings I think that’s a bug. It’s blurred on mine on the oldest device supported lol

[rain @obsidian_master]

okay well apparently ios 27 dev beta 1 takes it to another level when there’s a video playing

wtf lol

[rain @obsidian_master]

can’t believe wwdc is less than two days away and a new iOS version will be announced again

while here’s ios 26 on my phone with a landscape mode notification center clock that can’t figure out whether it wants to be left-aligned, right-aligned, or centered

[rain @obsidian_master]

Cool, my first major bug

…that I don’t know how I even managed to do so I can’t even report it

[rain @obsidian_master]

Guess who will be running the beta on a main device

...I'm about to regret this lmao

[rain @obsidian_master]

MY IPHONE 11 GETS ANOTHER YEAR OF SUPPORT YES

#WWDC26

[rain @obsidian_master]

It's great to say that this is still present for me in iOS 27 lmao

[rain @obsidian_master]

…especially since that dark tinted mode kinda still exists on iOS 27. Increase contrast just needs to be enabled.

[rain @obsidian_master]

Another thing I kinda wished we have is a slider for the brightness of the liquid glass elements as well.

I kinda prefer the dark tinted liquid glass on iOS 26 over what’s on the new update which looks light even on dark mode.

[rain @obsidian_master]

okay nvm, the outline being bright then fixes itself still happens with widgets :’)

[rain @obsidian_master]

They updated the iTunes Store app with iOS 27..??????
