Very appropriate in this case:

People confusing the tracking policies the between Search Engine and their Mobile Browser (which allow Microsoft Trackers due to their syndication agreement

Seems convenient for Apple unless if they've sold out already

and then everyone applauded

Looks good but you might find some very dated stuff in there. I just checked the iOS one and it's based on XCode 8.3.3 which was released back in 2017. The recipes may be relevant but they won't be plug-and-play and if you're really looking to learn you're better off with more recently updated courses from the likes of Udemy, and the free Stanford course on YouTube that include things like SwiftUI

At a similar time as The Verge was threatened I noticed some articles changed their tune and switched to downplaying the Reddit situation. The one I recall is Gizmodo reporting that Reddit traffic was back to normal.

It'll be interesting to see how things play out at the end of this week when the 3rd Party Apps go offline, but to be honest I'm happy to say my new home is Kbin.social and don't see the need for an active Reddit account, though I may lurk from time to time if I'm looking for some particular information that's not yet on Kbin.

The game changer for Fediverse is stable mobile applications, once the Apollo shaped hole on my phone is filled I think it'll be pretty much a drop-in replacement.

In the early Internet days I recall the theories were that the 'World Wide Web' was literally just that, a trap to catch people and 'internet' being jokingly referred to as being 'into-the-net' with similar meaning. At the time those concepts referred more to Internet addiction but now I find it strange that it's come back around to the whole idea of us all being trapped in the corporate web with no escape whilst they leech off our rights and privacy as we lie helpless and despondent.

Nope, no need for open-source. If it was so easy to make an iOS app we'd have one available on the App Store already. There's works in progress and TestFlight releases just to cater for the increasing demand but even those will take time to reach full maturity and polish.

There's no reason for someone to work so hard and give away their IP for free. From what you see from many apps, the authors are continuously working hard to work on it, adding new features, fixing bugs and with it being still the relatively early days of the Fediverse, keeping up and reflecting changes on the platform.

App developers should be free to decide how they protect their IP and how they market their product. I gladly paid for Apollo and would be more than happy to pay for my preferred Fedi app to support the effort behind it.

A better approach would be for the Kbin/Lemmy project to open-source an SDK for iOS

No news is good news in this case.

So helpful! I've found it but the image uploader doesn't seem to work on my browser

Response: we ran out of white guys to shoot so we switched to black. Disgusting.
