Indeed, not ‘random’. With respect to iOS26 what word should one use? Premeditated? Deliberate? Maliciously?

    Ejaculated ? Something coming out of a reproductive organ, with no idea of real world consequences.

Maybe a better definition is “for seemingly no reason”?

    “Arbitrary” is the word people often should reach for instead of “random”.

Why with Tahoe did they get rid of the volume indicator that popped up middle of screen that they’ve had for 20+ years - a critical indicator that the volume controls are even working in the first place - in favor of a tiny set of bars at the top right of my screen in the menu bar where I can barely make them out? It’s also less precise about my volume level now. Why?

That sure seemed random. It sure isn’t functional.

    Because before you many users complained "IT TAKES UP THE WHOLE SCREEN!!!!" and it was a bit annoying to be honest when it obscures a video or something else you're trying to view.

      But it doesn’t take up the whole screen, it flashes for like 2 seconds, and it has been around so long that it has created a very ingrained user behavior.

      I’d be very curious to see how many complaints they’ve actually gotten about it. This definitely struck me as “random”

      what kind of video are you watching where you need to change the volume so often and missing two seconds of part of the video would be such an issue?

        Look. I wanted to change the volume. My hand went to the keyboard. I felt the key. I felt the key press down. The volume changed.

        That's all the feedback I need! I don't need my vision stuffed with that information.

        But yeah, it did look cute and should be an option between "Expressive" or "Minimal" UI.
