You’re willing to pay more to get less?!

What’s your skin care routine?

What’s a reddit?

“thrives”, “inflates its userbase using instagram”.
Potato, potato.

Musk has fully entered the altright edgelord arena.

Meanwhile, Amazon does sell ads. Sponsored products are advertisements.

What was the inspiration for these internet standards?

Chose the one with the fewest ice cubes.

I’m thinking about those beans

Don’t wanna be that guy, but:

That depends on the instance you’re on.

Zelda is a cat?!

It very much isn’t a hail Mary to generate money, they’d have bent over backwards if they’d wanted to keep big players like Apollo and RIF on board, if it had been a hail Mary. 20 million bucks a year is nothing to be sneezed at.

The fact that they left Apollo out to dry shows that it never was about making more revenue, but rather to stamp out competition for their own app. As soon as it has accessibility parity with other apps, it’ll turn off API access for unofficial reddit apps alltogether.

For multilingual people. Please be aware that wefwef will fail upon posting comments, if you have selected more than 1 language in your Lemmy profile. Wefwef comes back with the error message that you need to select a language in your Lemmy profile.

Go to wefwef.app in your browser. Now open the options menu of your browser (the three dots, if on Android, the square with the arrow pointing up, if on iOS) and find the option to put a bookmark on your home screen (in iOS it’s called “add to home screen”)

This will create a sandboxed version of wefwef.app, tap it and it should load like a normal app. (this is what Apple envisioned as apps way back when, before they realized that they could make money selling apps)

When the page has loaded, in the bottom middle, tap on “lemmy.world”, and log in to your Lemmy instance.

Enjoy

You would still know what Meta is thinking of doing on the Fediverse, and adjust course accordingly. Now we 1) know nothing, and 2) have closed off an avenue to gain information.

The 7th one will shock you!

Can you use iPhones as Point of Sales devices?
I’ve seen plenty of those handheld devices that then attach to phones via Bluetooth for payments, but I haven’t seen people use iPhones to scan bank cards for payment.

Or did you mean 5? Because with iOS17, Apple is introducing a way to share your personal data as a ‘smart’ business card type thing using your phone. And it might be that what was discussed at the NFC forum was a form of that.

On the one hand I can totally understand this reaction by Kev, on the other hand, by completely locking off all discussions like this, means that there’s no way to change things for the better.

Granted, it’s Meta, they’re not to be trusted, but still, a discussion, if one has the time, wouldn’t be too bad an idea.
