The Edge 20 series isn't on the list and it's only about 2 years old...

Here is a script to easily install WireGuard and generate client config files for any server: https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install

Sure, I get that. The issue is that as soon as you introduce the ability to install apps from outside the App Store, it becomes possible to trick unsuspecting users into clicking buttons they don't understand. By designing a web page to look like an actual Apple page, a malicious party could convince users to "opt in" to outside sources, in a similar way in which phishing websites harvest users' online banking credentials. Currently, this kind of attack is entirely impossible on iPhone.

On malware being distributed through alternate stores, yes. For example:

The real user benefit will be very small

This is just my gut feeling. It is based on not knowing anyone IRL that has willingly installed an Android app from outside the Play Store, but actually knowing people that avoid it because of the potential security implications.

You have to remember that the vast majority of smartphone users are not power users, and not the people who hang out on these forums. While something may look attractive in small circles like these, there are many other factors to consider when targetting the entire userbase.

Is it a local-only client, or does it download email on their cloud servers first?

I think it refers to an MMORPG related to the Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West games.

The architectures are named after scientists. This one is for the mathematician David Blackwell.

Now, Google is bringing in Manifest V3, a new version of Chromium.

If this is the level of their understanding, it's hard to trust anything this outlet publishes.

What were the limitations of borg that you ran into?

Here are some alternatives you can try.

 

After the latest update, instance names have disappeared from the subscription section on the navigation drawer. There doesn't seem to a be setting to bring those back. Without them, it's hard to distinguish between communities with similar names on different instances.

ITT: People that don't know the difference between privacy and security.

 

I often find image posts where clicking on the thumbnail doesn't load the picture and shows a generic error message. If I copy the image link, I can open it ok in the browser. I haven't been able to tie this to specific instances or communities, so I don't know what might be causing it.

Has anyone else seen this issue?

 
 

In another thread, I read a user's comment about how the lemmy experience has got progressively worse over the past few months, with a lot more trash content making it to their front page.

Is this your experience? How was lemmy when you joined and how do you think it's changed?

 
 

Yes, I've read many posts the current state of reddit. But today, somehow I thought it can't be that bad if I just go looking for some funny videos.

Boy, was I wrong. This post was at the top of my feed, and briefly scrolling through the comments got me out of there without looking at anything else ☠️

Oh, well, I tried...

 

On the old site, there were a number of funny video communities with regular posts, for example /r/Unexpected, /r/PublicFreakout, or /r/WhatCouldGoWrong. While there are plenty of memes on Lemmy, we have relatively little video content. Those of you who used to frequent video subs, what have you replaced them with since coming to Lemmy?
