This is such a dumb moveโ€ฆ how many times do these policy makers need to be explained that I can also just manually encrypt messages before sending. This wonโ€™t solve anything.

Over the last 10 years or so this feels about right for MMO discourse.

If my neighbor is blasting his music outdoors while heโ€™s scrolling TikTok and smoking cigars, Iโ€™m allowed to counter with my own obnoxious music right?

Oh, Iโ€™m not even expecting responses haha. Iโ€™m not even expecting people to change their minds. Itโ€™s just cathartic at this point.

Like yeah, this looks different. But itโ€™s still the exact same thing as before at the same time. I was hoping and expecting a much larger overhaul.

iPad is multitasking is peak tho.

The way thereโ€™s reflections off the sidebar, and how content flows behind it, the way the now playing bar refracts the light, all of that is super nice and harder to read, but itโ€™s still the same music app it always was.

Iโ€™ve been messing around with some of the Apple OS Developer Betaโ€™s and especially in the case of TV os, I cannot tell a difference between liquid glass or the previous design.

They were acting like this was an entire design paradigm shift but itโ€™s just current components redesigned.
