If you’re deep into UI customization then iOS has never been and will never be the way. For me I’ve never cared that much about looks outside having dark mode, a clean interface and a wallpaper.

Some of the other things are possible though, like downloading app files from the store (they’re IPA in Apple terms). Sideloading apps is also a thing, people have been using yt Vanced on iOS for years.

There’s all kinds on browser extensions in the store, but only for Safari. There’s almost no point in using any other browser in iOS since they all practically are Safari under the hood.

That’s kinda sloppy, mainly in the disclosure and translation department, but nothing that some updates won’t solve.

I’m happy to support these devs with original ideas, even while they use some AI in a non-intrusive way. They have done something more important for in my book, which is following regional pricing.

It’s stupid how several studios think charging my 3rd world country the same or even more than the US is a good idea. CDPR and bethesda think it’s ok, but It’s disgusting. I would rather support 11bit.

I don’t recommend it. I ran local AI in my phone before (iPhone but same difference), and just asking it stuff makes it warm up to touch. Battery also takes a hit.

It also messes up multitasking features since it uses up most memory which kills background apps. Phones weren’t designed for this.

Best way is to host it in an actual dedicated machine that can be accessed remotely.

Yes that’s something they gotta do to help fix the root problem. I meant more that even if they fix it today, there will be chaos still in the coming years from not enough young people to replace old people retiring and paying taxes to support everything.

They have to let people in from other places easily.

Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has called the situation a “quiet emergency”, pledging family-friendly measures like more flexible working hours to try and reverse the trend.

Nah dude it’s over. Not just in Japan but in most developed countries. Changes were needed decades ago. The only way to survive it is to relax immigration, not by “maybe” cutting work hours.
