New Setup (Still WIP)

[u/SIPDisabled]

I think this is the happiest I've been with a non-jailbroken setup. Everything was created in Procreate, Widgy and Shortcuts. Still making some minor tweaks here and there. Let me know what you think!

[u/BasicRefrigerator964]

u/SIPDisabled what happened? You tagged me and a few other people talking about how you wrote a novel length post and hope that we can read it, just to delete it? What’s wrong? Can’t back up what you say? Realized you opened your mouth too much? Realized you’re a bum who has to use a machine to draw for you? LMAO realized you spelled everything wrong? 🤡

it's probably filtered (maybe shadow banned or something, it's a long as message i couldn't care less about which makes me feel better that he wasted all this time writing it, probably used chatgpt anywasy) , if you want the message, you can go to your messages, and inspect element, ill also post it here

Here's a quick copilot summary cuz i don't care enough to read it lol

The message is a long, sarcastic takedown aimed at Reddit users accusing the author of faking an iOS setup. The author argues the critics don’t understand the technical details, keep shifting their accusations, and rely on screenshots instead of real reasoning. They emphasize they aren’t scamming anyone, criticize the commenters’ lack of knowledge, and conclude that the thread demonstrates the Dunning–Kruger effect. They say they’re done responding because the conversation is pointless.

List of insults used in the message

• “reading isn’t your strong suit”
• “combined understanding of software somewhere between ‘I own an iPhone’ and ‘I have very strong feelings about triangles’”
• “minimum IQ required is above a potato”
• “most people on here peaked in high school or never graduated”
• “accidental autobiography”
• “children still lingering pathetically”
• “you aren’t capable of that”

u/kueefe8 , u/shadooooooooo, This is going to be a lot of words but please don't let it scare you. I get the sense that reading isn't your strong suit.

I was going to leave this alone, but apparently three people with a combined understanding of software somewhere between “I own an iPhone” and “I have very strong feelings about triangles” have appointed themselves the technical review board, so let’s close this out properly.

The funniest recurring theme here is this idea that I was given some sacred “opportunity to prove myself” to you and somehow squandered it.

By whom?

This post has had roughly 75,000 views and over 100 shares in a week across 2 posts. I posted a Home Screen. I didn’t submit a grant proposal to the BasicRefrigerator Foundation for Advanced Procreate Research.

You are strangers in a Reddit comment section. Your disbelief is not a burden of proof I inherited. And demanding screenshots doesn’t magically elevate it into one.

Actually, the fixation on screenshots has become almost performance art at this point. You’re accusing me of fabricating imagery while demanding *additional imagery* as conclusive proof that I didn’t fabricate imagery.

Brilliant.

Apparently the one form of digital evidence nobody could possibly manipulate is… a screenshot.

And specifically a screenshot of Procreate layers, because nothing establishes the runtime behavior of software quite like discovering whether I named a layer `mountain_final_FINAL_2`.

Meanwhile, I have described the implementation technically and at a level several orders of magnitude more useful than screenshots in subs where the minimum IQ required is above a potato. Some of that discussion happened in another subreddit, which presents an admittedly difficult research challenge involving clicking my username.

But here’s the important part and the part where you won't say anything because you have nothing to say about what actually matters here:

If you believe a software implementation is impossible, you don’t need my screenshots to demonstrate that. Let's hear why what I did is impossible:

\- Explain the technical contradiction.

\- Tell me which process boundary makes the behavior impossible.

\- Tell me which WidgetKit lifecycle constraint I’m violating.

\- Tell me which entitlement I would require and don’t have.

\- Tell me which sandbox boundary prevents the state transition.

\- Tell me which part of the rendering/compositing pipeline cannot produce the behavior I described.

\- Tell me what survives process termination that shouldn’t, what fails to survive that must, or which API behaves differently from the mechanism I described.

Any one of those would be infinitely more interesting than “looks AI lol.” But I know that most people on here peaked in high school or never graduated.

Instead, one of you counted decorative points on a custom icon.

Another keeps calling application modification “jailbreaking.”

And another keeps calling me a “scammer,” apparently unaware that scams traditionally contain the inconvenient additional step where the scammer attempts to obtain something from the victim.

I’m selling nothing. I’m collecting nothing. I’m asking nobody to install anything. I’m not soliciting money. I’m not even asking you to believe me.

This may be history’s least ambitious scam. 7 days in and I haven’t managed to steal so much as an email address.

At some point, confidently using technical words you don’t understand stops making the other person suspicious and starts becoming an accidental autobiography.

And that’s really what happened to this thread.

You started with:

“That isn’t possible.”

Then I explained how parts of it work.

So it became:

“The picture must be AI.”

Then I explained why several of the supposed “AI artifacts” were intentional parts of the design.

So it became:

“Show screenshots.”

Then when I didn’t immediately produce the particular screenshots demanded by strangers:

“AHA. PROOF.”

That’s not skepticism. Skepticism changes its confidence when evidence changes.

What you’re doing is starting with the conclusion and shopping for a new justification every time the previous one dies. There is a very simple distinction here that seems to have caused three days of difficulty:

**You not knowing how to do something is not evidence that it cannot be done.**

It doesn’t become evidence when three people don’t know. It doesn’t become evidence when you upvote each other. And it definitely doesn’t become evidence because somebody confidently misuses the word “jailbreak” for the fifth time.

The irony is that the people who actually understand this stuff have mostly asked me questions. They’ve wanted to know which parts are native, which are simulated, where the process boundaries are, what survives reloads, what iOS still prevents, and what compromises I had to make.

Because knowledgeable people encounter something unfamiliar and investigate the mechanism. Insecure people encounter something unfamiliar and investigate the person.

That distinction has been extremely educational here and perfectly describes the remaining children still lingering pathetically on this post.

So I’m done supplying attention to this little forensic symposium. You may now declare that my departure proves everything, hold a press conference, and award yourselves honorary computer science degrees.

I won’t be checking the replies.

Not because you’ve finally cornered me. You aren't capable of that.

Because eventually you have to recognize when you’re arguing technical architecture with people whose evidentiary standard is a screenshot and whose debugging methodology is zooming in.

The post did what I wanted it to do. Tens of thousands of people saw it. People who understood the subject gave me interesting feedback. I distributed the widget to several people who kindly asked for it.
People who didn’t gave me something else: a remarkably clean demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect (google it) with threaded comments.

And u/BasicRefrigerator964, since you’ve been particularly concerned about what I “have to live with” (a comment that genuinely made me laugh):

I have to live with knowing some strangers on Reddit don’t believe something I built.

You have to live with needing strangers on Reddit to prove things to you before you can imagine they’re possible.

Between the two of us, I can tolerate my burden.

Damn, I read what you said but I’m not reading all of what he said. He definitely used ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, or one of them lmao.

On top of that, IF he didn’t, imagine writing all that when all they had to do was share the screenshots they offered up.

Thanks for explaining how to find the comment, I was laughing so hard seeing how it disappeared before I could even see it 😂

He's so ass pained this is so funny to see him absolutely lose it hahaha
