i think to the side's supposed to be suggestions but i turned them off so its just search yeah

but there's already some android level stuff like that

drag down from home screen top: notification center
drag down from home screen middle: search

drag up from lock screen bottom: control center
drag up from lock screen corner bottom: camera

android only has a 2d plane to take input, apple has literally added another dimension to the way you interact with your phone

prediction: big ad companies will form some sort of standard for non-poo poo ads that sites can promote so they look non-lovely but it will also be a massive data sharing exercise and will include mandatory email, text and phone # access

adsense was a bit like that at the start but then google became a monopoly

the other option is that it will start being genuinely non-lovely but will then slowly walk its way back to status quo

it's fine, the phone is doing some background stuff straight after the update but just go about your day and come back later and the it will be just as fast if not faster with better battery life

apple is abusing its monopoly. the free market will reward the most unobtrusive ad networks if thats really want customers want

Up ta somethin'


it is really funny watching all these people freaking out about ad blocking

but also annoying how people keep saying "i do it for security/privacy" or "i do it to speed things up" or "I'll whitelist sites with unobtrusive ads". gently caress that. i do it because advertising is a cancer on the body of humanity and if it takes amputating a limb to get rid of it so be it. lol if you think i'm gonna voluntarily whitelist a site so i can be branded at.
