I tried it on iPhone and iPad (developer beta 4)

Honestly, the only feature worth the upgrade for me was ability to force add any website as a PWA. Other decent features were pinning folder to dock and using a custom wallpaper for chats.

The downsides were massive for me-

1. iPad is basically not a multitasking device anymore. It hangs or lags with screen manager and the new mode. And there is no option to move back to the old mode.
2. The performance overall was sluggish which might be fixed in future betas.
3. New UI visuals are flashy and okay but definitely not anything that warrants an update.
4. The preview app is pointless. The files app already did everything that the app did, without the added load.

This would be the first major update that I will be skipping. I will keep my devices on iOS 18 till they die. I have never had to do this before.

That's my whole point, only money has been given. US troops should have been deployed to Ukraine.

No, but they did promise protection. So far, there has been no protection given, only money.

Problem with talking about USA in this conflict is everytime immediately assumes that anyone accusing USA of anything is automatically supporting Russia.

Did I stutter?

It is not possible to do that. I cannot sleep when pasta is around. I must have it all inside my tummy.

Congratulations nonetheless. Everyone fucks up the first time. They will get it the next time.

I agree with you on this but with some nuance. This thinking is correct and should be used on individual level. However, time has shown us that most humans are stupid and will resort to herd mentality. So, the pride quickly turns into nationalism.

We are talking about the war/defence industry which is a much newer thing when countries started selling weapons and such to other countries on a large scale and during their own non-war times, like the last 50 years of American history. If countries sold weapons to each other during WW2, it was because they were involved in the war themselves. Nowadays, it is just selling weapons and watching others burn each other down.

Predictions have been going on since forever about so many things. Doesn't make it any truer. China is going to annex Taiwan, Russia is going to attack Europe, Iran is weeks away from nukes. Funnily, there are no predictions about USA doing stuff.

This is the whole point of resistance. Standing up to wrong is resistance, even if it needs sacrifice

I am sure most people during Hitler's rule were against the genocide but did it matter? Complicity is support.
