Jailbreakers Run SpringBoard at 0.1% Speed

I'm waiting for the day when jailbreakers finally admit defeat, give up trying to run unsigned code... ... and inject a UIWebView with an arm64 interpreter in JavaScript. Just run the entire SpringBoard in your interpreter at 0.1% native speed; all animations render at 0.6 fps

A dark-mode social media post jokes about jailbreakers supposedly giving up on running unsigned code, only to use an absurdly inefficient workaround: injecting an arm64 interpreter into a JavaScript UIWebView and running the entire SpringBoard at 0.1% of native speed. The punchline is the extreme technical overkill and comically unusable animation speed, aimed at iOS jailbreak and software-engineering culture.
