@npub105w…jv9s I think the longer I use computers, the more I appreciate sticking with the defaults. Not for everything, of course, but you can waste so much time and energy on fighting it

@npub105w…jv9s yeah I agree, I’ve never liked the automatic behaviour for something that needs to become muscle memory.
I tend to just tap the background to dismiss, not sure if that works for you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@npub105w…jv9s you can resize the Home widget to get something more useful?

I suggest going through the onboarding if you haven't before, then adding the widget, and you might need to restart your device.

You’re first instinct might be to ”why would I use someone else’s wallpaper, I want to see my spouse / kids / pets”
But if you’re a developer who ever needs to create homescreen or lockscreen mockups, you might like having some non-generic images
