What makes you think I’m a bot? And is this a repost? I didn’t notice an earlier post

Winter typically means Jan-Mar for anime, this could suggest it comes early next year, but who knows.

I just tried on my Mac, and Option-Command-C worked. Unsure whether this is a reliable solution

I want aware that this report function existed. I can start doing my part to report errors, so thank you for sharing!

Wow. It really ended. Was entertaining watching this update regularly.

I found this very insightful, thank you for sharing!

We have Avelon now, an amazing native app that I feel can surpass Apollo with time

On iOS, Avelon is the best Lemmy client I have ever used (in my opinion even better than Apollo was), though some features are still missing. Smooth, fluid, beautiful, functional!

I love how the name of this community looks like cPython, Python’s reference implementation

I absolutely love that you created a native app, as it’s amazingly fluid, well-integrated and beautiful, though it unfortunately came at the cost of making an Android version not possible.

Thank you for making this!

Looks like the best client so far! Replacing Voyager with this, thank you for this amazing app!

Edit: is it possible to view the instance name in the community name when scrolling down the feed? That seems like the only feature I’m missing from Voyager… (e.g. [email protected] instead of just linux)

Join Lemmy!

I think this is good advice. Also, the non-pro models tend to be lighter (we’ll have to see if this is true for the 15 series as they are rumored to switch to Titanium, which is lighter).

Just tried it, works really well! Added most of its recommendations to my library

After opening your banner, I actually said wow out loud. Amazing work!

Some key points:

• We aim to officially release the Fedora Asahi Remix by the end of August 2023.
• Very soon after Asahi Linux started (well before our Arch ARM-based release), Neal Gompa joined our IRC channels and we started talking about working towards integrating our work into Fedora… The Fedora Asahi project started in late 2021, and work began in 2022 alongside the Arch ARM release.
• Working directly with upstream means not only can we integrate more closely with the core distribution, but we can also get issues in other packages fixed quickly and smoothly. This is particularly important for platforms like desktop ARM64, where we still run into random app and package bugs quite often.

I think for some cases the app already in the App Store has ads and other monetisation (e.g. IAP). In these cases the app is modified to remove these and allow you to get the benefits that were behind a paywall in-game

Hi! It’s called iCloud Private Relay and it’s detailed here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1402274867366477831.html

Apple’s stated reason for not covering mail, contacts and calendar is “Because of the need to interoperate with the global email, contacts, and calendar systems, iCloud Mail, Contacts, and Calendar aren’t end-to-end encrypted”. I think it’s worth mentioning that critical bit of context. https://support.apple.com/en-sg/guide/security/sec973254c5f/web. Apple does have to balance usability and security, though this might not be as secure / private as you or I would like.

I think it’s a little misleading to say they considered backdooring it. They intended to scan images for CSAM before uploading it to iCloud Photo Library. A lot of speculation was they wanted to E2EE photos but were worried about the reaction from the FBI and other bodies, given the FBI had pressured them on this before, and so settled on this compromise. If they had managed to do this, they wouldn’t be able to access the photos after they had been uploaded, hence, they had to scan them prior to the uploading.

They attempted to do this with a very complex (and honestly still relatively privacy-preserving) way of comparing perceptual hashes, but perhaps they realised (from the feedback accompanying the backlash) this could easily be abused by authoritarian governments, so they abandoned this idea.

I would assume that a company like Apple is getting significant pressure behind back doors, and they cater to an audience that is unforgiving for any slight reduction in performance or ease-of-use, and wants security features that are almost fully transparent to them. Given these constraints, I’m not sure they can improve much faster than what they’ve demonstrated. Smaller, open-source projects probably don’t have these constraints.
