I feel like people were excited about new emoji a handful of years ago when it still felt new, but there are so many now that I’m unconvinced that most people care at all.
In my experience each person has about two dozen emoji and don’t stray too far from those in their day to day.

Memes are the new email forwards.

I’m confused. Wasn’t iGBA taken down because it was a repackaging of your GBA4iOS?
But your GBA4iOS was a repackaging of gpSPhone?
Was the issue with iGBA attribution? Or was there something else that it did (or didn’t do) that necessitated its removal?
(I’m not attempting to antagonize, I guess I just don’t understand enough of the situation.)

I kid, of course. I’ve owned iPads since the original and have never even owned an Apple Pencil.

Imagine if you had to buy a new mouse every time you bought a new Mac.

I use Replacicon to replace many of the icons on my system with the older versions. It makes my dock look more interesting.

In almost every example, the pre-Big Sur icon is better than the Big Sur-ified version.
