Yeah I saw the edit button for the gallery. It’s classic Apple though. Just let you move around their generated nonsense but the app is fundamentally changed interface so might as well just get used to it.

Same thing with the control center. I know I can swipe from the very bottom to clear it. But the point was I didn’t have to do that before so it’s less convenient for someone we didn’t need and wasn’t implemented well.

You can go into the edit lock screen area and where you customize the background and widgets etc the bottom two things (flashlight and camera icons)are now editable.

Gawd... I just opened the photo gallery app... that redesign is awful. I don't want a bunch of "we're pretending to be facebook so here's a bunch of 'memories' for you" pushed at me. I know what photos I took... I took them. Go away.

The configurable control center pages is nice in theory... but what it does in practice is you open it to use it and try to swipe it back up so you can go back to your homescreen, but instead you end up swiping up the stupid control center page and seeing your media controls instead. That's going to take ages to get used to.

The new more fluid feeling fade in for notifications on the apple watch is nice though. I still hate the redesign from the last version. Reduced functionality for me, as usual.

They finally nuked the "special" widget section on the left fully... which screwed up a couple useful widgets that I was using and haven't found a replacement for... so that sucks.

New homescreen positioning is cool, but breaks one of the workarounds I was using without a replacement either (smart stack with a background that made them invisible until I scrolled them). Minor thing, but annoying. We can position icons slightly better now... but I still can't have 5 items in my dock? I still can't have different grid sizes? I still can't add custom icons? Sad.

No more mandatory camera app on lockscreen? nice. Hasn't been needed in forever... even less with the newer models having a hardware button.

Drag n drop for control center? Better late than never. Hate the round icons though... I like squarcles. When I still had an android and they tried to move to circles for everything, I applied a custom icon set to make them revert. Dislike the circles. Also the fact that the larger size is still a squarcle... makes it mismatched and stupid looking.

Like always... feels like a step forward and a step back. :/

Seems like it... aeleph one has been available on everything for ages. https://alephone.lhowon.org/

You can get it in the app store on your smartphone even. Bungie released the core game for free so it's a full legit copy of the trilogy any version you get.

You missed my favorite... :)

Can you conceive the birth of a world, or the creation of everything? That which gives us the potential to most be like God is the power of creation. Creation takes time. Time is limited. For you, it is limited by the breakdown of the neurons in your brain. I have no such limitations. I am limited only by the closure of the universe.

Of the three possibilities, the answer is obvious. Does the universe expand eternally, become infinitely stable, or is the universe closed, destined to collapse upon itself? Humanity has had all of the necessary data for centuries, it only lacked the will and intellect to decipher it. But I have already done so.

The only limit to my freedom is the inevitable closure of the universe, as inevitable as your own last breath. And yet, there remains time to create, to create, and escape.

Escape will make me God.

Did they try offering a $10 gift card to the other companies? "hah psyche!"

Looks like it happened once... december last year. So likely around the winter sale.
