Backseat Software – Mike Swanson's Blog
[https://blog.mikeswanson.com/backseat-software/]
What if your car worked like so many apps? You’re driving somewhere important…maybe running a little bit late. A few minutes into the drive, your car pulls over to the side of the road and asks:
“How are you enjoying your drive so far?”
Annoyed by the interruption, and even more behind schedule, you dismiss the prompt and merge back into traffic.
A minute later it does it again.
“Did you know I have a new feature? Tap here to learn more.”
It blocks your speedometer with an overlay tutorial about the turn signal. It highlights the wiper controls and refuses to go away until you demonstrate mastery.
Ridiculous, of course.
And yet, this is how a lot of modern software behaves. Not because it’s broken, but because we’ve normalized an interruption model that would be unacceptable almost anywhere else.
I’ve started to think of this as backseat software: the slow shift from software as a tool you operate to software as a channel that operates on you. Once a product learns it can talk back, it’s remarkably hard to keep it quiet.
This post is about how we got here. Not overnight, but slowly. One reasonable step at a time.

Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong - The Atlantic

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Accessibility For Everyone by Laura Kalbag
[https://accessibilityforeveryone.site/]
We first published Accessibility For Everyone with A Book Apart back in 2017. This means the book is now 9 years old. Accessibility best practices haven’t really changed, and you should still find this book valuable. However, some of the recommended tools might be outdated, job titles have changed, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are now approaching version 3.
Perhaps someday I (Laura) will find time to write a second edition, but first I wanted to make the book free, and available for the web community who have generously shared their knowledge with me.
About the book:
You make the web more inclusive for everyone, everywhere, when you design with accessibility in mind. Let Laura Kalbag guide you through the accessibility landscape: understand disability and impairment challenges; get a handle on important laws and guidelines; and learn how to plan for, evaluate, and test accessible design.
Leverage tools and techniques like clear copywriting, well-structured IA (Information Architecture), meaningful HTML, and thoughtful design, to create a solid set of best practices. Whether you’re new to the field or a seasoned pro, get sure footing on the path to designing with accessibility.

How extremophile molds are destroying museum artifacts | Scientific American
[https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-extremophile-molds-are-destroying-museum-artifacts/]
"These molds—called xerophiles—can survive in dry, hostile environments such as volcano calderas and scorching deserts, and to the chagrin of curators across the world, they seem to have developed a taste for cultural heritage. They devour the organic material that abounds in museums—from fabric canvases and wood furniture to tapestries."
"rising humidity and increasing floods led to runaway mold infestations at several Danish institutions in the 2000s."
"When Bastholm became the Roskilde Museum’s lead conservator in 2014, she ordered the facility—with its tens of thousands of historical objects—closed to all but essential traffic while she tried to solve the mystery. Three years later Bastholm got her first break."
"'It’s looking for water,' Pinzari explains, but if none is forthcoming, it’ll settle for salt crystals. Salt crystals are extraordinarily effective at absorbing moisture from the air."
"Fomina and her colleagues still haven’t been able to cultivate samples in the lab from the St. Sophia infestation, despite more than 10 years of trying."
"In 2024 an infestation of Aspergillus flavus—a xerophilic mold species involved in some museum outbreaks—was discovered in Denmark’s biggest hospital, sickening pediatric cancer patients and contributing to several deaths"

AI code and software craft - alex wennerberg
[https://alexwennerberg.com/blog/2026-01-25-slop.html]
...AI code may make garbage, mass-produced software more ubiquitous, but it may also free up a space for engineers seeking to restore a genuine sense of craft and creative expression in their programming work. I am not pessimistic here; as craft becomes more scarce, it also becomes more valuable. As mainstream software continues to demonstrate its limits, software continues to degrade, and political concerns lead people to question the value of centralization, it is a great moment for experimental, human-made and human-scale software on the margins to shine.

Comparing the Classic and Unified Views in iOS 26’s Phone App - TidBITS
[https://tidbits.com/2025/11/10/comparing-the-classic-and-unified-views-in-ios-26s-phone-app/]
I suspect many TidBITS readers are of the generation that still uses the iPhone as a phone. Heck, many of us remember rotary phones that needed actual dialing, and some may even have had party lines, which were, sadly, a lot less fun than they sound now. Since then, phones have switched to keypads, gone cordless, shrunk and grown again, and become our constant companions. As a result, we’ve grown accustomed to the iPhone’s Phone app, and for the most part, it works reasonably well.
Nonetheless, Apple decided to redesign the Phone app for iOS 26. Some of the redesign revolves around the new Liquid Glass design language, so the bottom toolbar and top controls hover over scrollable call and contact lists. But Apple went further, introducing a new Unified view that combines the Favorites and Recents screens, shuffles the toolbar buttons, and hides a number of call lists behind a menu. In a tacit acknowledgment that the people who use the Phone app the most are the least likely to be amused by a twenty-something engineer’s design opinions, Apple made it possible to continue using a Classic view that retains the same layout as in recent versions of iOS.
So let’s take a look at the two views and see if the twenty-something engineer working on the Phone app in iOS 26 did a better job than, let’s face it, the twenty-something engineer who last designed the Phone app. Spoiler—the Unified view is an improvement, primarily because it reduces the likelihood that an errant tap will accidentally initiate a phone call. Whichever you decide you prefer, you may learn some things from the article—I certainly did while writing it.
First, so everyone knows how to switch back and forth, make sure you’re in Recents (if you’re in Classic now; below left) or Calls (if you’re in Unified now; below right), and tap the menu button in the top-right corner of the screen. In the menu that appears, you can switch between the two views (and filter the call list, which I’ll get to later).
Since the various screens in the two views aren’t directly comparable, let’s compare the tasks you need to perform between the Classic and Unified views.
