Here is my iPad Home Screen layout. Sure, it’s not super fancy with tinted colors, but, I like it

This looks absolutely terrible, but to each their own.

My girlfriend was saying all the time that she would hate her iPhone going to the Android way regarding the icons... Because she knew lots of people would have disgusting setups... I believe she was right.

Lol your yuck is always going to be someone's yum and vice versa, so careful where you throw that disgusting word around, it'll come back to you eventually.

Nice looks like fucking shit

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 months ago

It's so fucking noisy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Lol not sure why people are giving you shit! It's clearly organized, although perhaps not how some people would personally like it. Glad you're having fun with it!

I like to tell myself that they just want to have something to hate for hatred sake

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

How do you use it with that background? Too many colors.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

That is the Pride wallpaper from Apple for 2024

Mega in 2024? I didn't know anyone was still using it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

So what has everyone moved on to?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

I use it, idk what the other user is on

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Anecdotally from people I've spoken to about this recently, it seems to be a mix of:

  • Running your own Plex server (or a good friend letting you onto theirs)
  • Real debrid
  • Stremio
  • Some random modded fire stick thing with a load of piracy services installed

Can't say I remember anyone mentioning old school download or video streaming sites like that in ages.

Might just be the people I've spoken to though, it's not a topic that comes up every day after all

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Mega is cloud storage, those others are not. Am I missing something? Mega, Plex, and real-debrid have totally different functions to me. The only relation is they’re tangential to piracy.

I still use Mega from time to time if I want to publicly share something I ripped. Seems like the best free cloud storage for that purpose.

Ah sorry my bad! Looks like I went in with an incorrect assumption of the use case. Given an iPad is typically used as a consumption device, I assumed watching video content would be the main use case—which honestly in my anecdotal experience I've not heard anyone using mega for in ages, but even so perhaps that's just the people I talk to and I've just been oblivious though.

No worries, I was curious if there’s some functionality I’m unaware of. I use it sporadically if I need to share some stuff with internet people and I don’t want to link them towards my Google Drive / iCloud / etc.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I use it because it is an absolutely amazing deal, I am paying $10/month for 2TB of storage

What do you mean by tinted

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You said in your own post that it is tinted

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh! iOS/iPadOS 18 allows you to apply any color you want to the icons

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I know but I don’t see that effect. The icons are in multiple colors.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes, because I’m not using that function

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ahhh now I understand your post. Sorry.
