Lemmy Reddit That

An update from Apple. Apple actually reversed that decision. Finally. Tested on latest stable version of iOS 17.4 and it works. (from https://developer.apple.com/support/dma-and-apps-in-the-eu/#dev-qa ):

Why don’t users in the EU have access to Home Screen web apps?

UPDATE: Previously, Apple announced plans to remove the Home Screen web apps capability in the EU as part of our efforts to comply with the DMA. The need to remove the capability was informed by the complex security and privacy concerns associated with web apps to support alternative browser engines that would require building a new integration architecture that does not currently exist in iOS.

We have received requests to continue to offer support for Home Screen web apps in iOS, therefore we will continue to offer the existing Home Screen web apps capability in the EU. This support means Home Screen web apps continue to be built directly on WebKit and its security architecture, and align with the security and privacy model for native apps on iOS.

Developers and users who may have been impacted by the removal of Home Screen web apps in the beta release of iOS in the EU can expect the return of the existing functionality for Home Screen web apps with the availability of iOS 17.4 in early March.

Finally, some good news.

@[email protected] Just an update for you. I just tried my PWA app on last stable version of iOS 17.4 and it works again. I made a quick google search if it’s just me, or Apple actually reversed they decision and I found this (from https://developer.apple.com/support/dma-and-apps-in-the-eu/#dev-qa ):

I already had android app written in kotlin, so I didn’t need PWA. I guess it’s cool that I can use this PWA on computer, even if nobody would use my app on computer. When somebody asks me, why my app is not on App Store, I just ask them, would they pay 99$ per year for an app, and they say never. Well, there is your answer.

I just made my app as a PWA, just few months ago, just to support iOS. F**k them. I’m not making any effort for iOS apps anymore.

I never use it. But I only listen to songs when I’m driving.

It has extensions support on mobile. I can’t live without uBlock Origin. I installed Firefox on PC because of synching between Firefox on PC and Firerox and Android. I now stopped using this feature, but I kept using Firefox. I only use Chrome when pages don’t open correctly on Firefox.

Please don’t say that. I bought Fujinon XT-4 and a kit lens last year. I hope I won’t spend too much on accessories. (But most probably I will)

I don’t think those things are obscure/quirky.

Weather prediction - Do you have any knowledge about how weather works or are you just random guessing? I would love to know more about how to predict weather, based on current and past weather.

Lockpicking - are you also trying to pick an actual lock. I am watching LockPickingLaywer on YouTube, it’s really fun to watch, because it’s really easy for him to pick a lock. But I don’t know where to start. I would love to at least try to pick some lock. Just for fun.

Gardening - that’s actually good experience to have. It’s not so easy to know how to garden and if you know that, good job. 👍

Thanks god I have unlimited 150/50 4g internet at home for around 42€ per month. This month we downloaded around 5.5 TB of data. Also small town, countryside, no stop lights, no businesses other than bars and shops. There is only one stop light in whole region. And whole region is getting fiber optic. We had DSL, but speeds were terrible.

Just random thought. Sounds funny.

When I’m on Linux (most of the time), I’m using Libre Office, but sometimes I have to open some word document in Microsoft Office, because Libre Office don’t open it correctly.

I don’t play games and I don’t use expensive software (ok, beside Windows and Office). Mostly I don’t use my computer when I am not at work. I have other hobbies and I have enough of computer at work (I am a software developer). I only pirate movies and tv shows. I don’t even pirate music. I just use YouTube music, with turkish family account (it’s the cheapest, around 1,20€ - 1,80€ per month for 6 accounts). I was using Netflix, but since they started blocking account sharing I stopped using Netflix. It’s too pricey for how much I watch movies and tv shows. For Windows I usually download iso from microsoft, and find activator on mydigitallife forum. If I need to download some software (like Office for example) from some torrent tracker, I am lucky we have local private tracker that is known and used by whole country.

I am one of the user that switched over to Lemmy, just because of Sync. I heart about Lemmy when I opened Sync for Reddit in July, when it wasn’t working anymore. But app showed a message, that Sync for Lemmy is comming. So I created an account on Lemmy. Regarding automatic update over old Reddit app I don’t think so. I think it has different package name than Sync for Reddit.

9 years on reddit. I didn’t post a lot of content or comments but I read a lot. As soon as they killed 3rd party apps, I left. And switched to lemmy. I like it here. I think I already posted more comments here, than on reddit. I don’t miss reddit at all.

I would recommend this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pwas-for-firefox/

It adds support for PWA in Firefox. I use it because Firefox dropped native support for PWA in Firefox.

I didnt know about qBittorrent Remote App. I have to try it when I got home. Flood is missing some functionalities and it looks like it’s not maintained anymore. Also, I need to check this Nzb360 app. Thanks for suggestions.

For me, prowlarr works much better together with qBittorrent, sonarr and radarr. + Add Flood to the list for easier mobile friendly UI for qBittorrent.

I didn’t start using Firefox again because of privacy, but because extensions doesn’t exist on chrome on Android (and I can’t live without uBlock Origin). So I switched to Firefox on both Android and PC. Later it starts with forcing this Manifest v3 or something like that for extensions, and I was really happy I already switched to Firefox. And now even this stupid thing. I am pretty sure I will not look back at chrome again. The only downside is that Firefox on desktop doesn’t support PWA out of the box (especially when I am developing PWA app on my own), but there is an extension and an app that adds support for PWA even on the desktop. And also, PWA is supported on firefox on Android, but I don’t get notifications on my own PWA app, while on Chrome I am getting it every time. Notifications are on for Firefox.

You can force reboot phone with holding power button or all buttons for about 10 seconds and it will reboot. You don’t need removable battery fot that. Or you can just remove sim for example. Thiefs aren’t dumb
