They both have a ways to go but out of the Lemmy apps I’ve tried these are clearly on the right path.

This means if you blocked my instance you wouldn’t see my comment? But others on your instance could still see my comment? Wouldn’t that lead to confusing comment threads?

I’m not against the idea in general. I like the idea of curating the experience that best fits your desired experience. I’m just still trying to wrap my head around this federated communication.

I think donations via something like Patreon, or subscriptions via an app are eventually totally reasonable for a Lemmy instance. I got enough utility out of Reddit that I would have been willing to pay a few bucks a month for an ad free app subscription. Reddit’s unreasonable, shortsighted management was the problem there. Once Lemmy starts to mature more and there is content worth paying for I’m ready to do my part to make sure it can continue without corporate involvement.

I think streaming is a pretty big factor. Lots of households who already have D+ saying to the family let’s just wait and watch it at home? Those longer home video windows had an effect.

It seems like Apple’s Self Service Repair program might already be in compliance, which would mean if the EU agrees all Apple would have to do is make it fully available in all the member states. The EU might get really aggressive in their definitions, but it’s not really in their best interest at a certain point.

iPhone battery replacement process won’t change anytime soon (if ever)

Specifically as an iOS/Apollo refugee I want better media handling. Apollo Gif and Video player was excellent. I’d like to be able to scrub more easily. Better API integration with content hosts. Also better OS integration. I know people using Apollo got butt hurt because iOS put the text recognition image over the bottom corner of pics, but I got very used to being able to quickly copy text out of images and things like that. Also Memmy is never recommended in the OS where Reddit official app is constantly recommended despite my hardly ever using it. That’s the app asking the OS to be recognized based on usage factors, and it’s something the dev has to build in.

Anyone able to explain how this really helps though? I mean is Bob Iger going to be like “we have to get this solved quick! I’m trying to hear Gin and Juice live!”
