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:

- https://cybernews.com/news/over-9-million-android-devices-infected-with-new-trojan-from-huaweis-app-store/
- https://www.pcmag.com/news/study-reveals-googles-play-store-is-main-distributor-of-malicious-apps (Table VII, "alt-market" row)
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.

I think that's exactly the problem. The real user benefit will be very small, but in order to enable those changes, functionality will be implemented on everyone's phones to support sideloading. In my eyes, this increseas the attack surface against iPhones. Time and time again alt stores have been used to distribute fake apps and malware on Android, and the victims are often those users who haven't asked for sideloading and are unlikely to use it intentionally.
Yes, maybe this will enable an F-droid equivalent on iPhone and it will be great to have direct access to open-source apps. But is this niche addition worth potentially reducing the security of all iPhones? I'm not convinced.

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.

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?
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.

Do navigation gestures still work if you use a third party launcher? There was a time when it broke the animations and the gestures became clunky.
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?

I think they run a lot of compute shader, so that they can offload part of the simulation to the GPU, so anything that reduces the utilization of the GPU could improve performance overall.

I used Standard Notes selfosted for a while, but, like many others, I've given up due to frequent issues. I've been trying Notesnook since and it more than does the job for me. A selfosted version should also be coming soon.

The same goes for Ubuntu. The aarch64 architecture is supported just like x86-64 and everything works great.

If you need earbuds, http://www.scarbir.com/ does similar.
This guy is gold! I've bought a few pairs of cheap headphones after reading his comparisons and reviews, and all have been spot on! He tests on both iPhone and Android, and he explains the differences in sound quality if very approachable and concise ways. When I need headphones again, his site is my no 1 stop.

Thanks! I'll try out the lists when I get the chance :)
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...
The [Photon frontend](https://phtn.app/) has recently [reached feature parity](https://lemmy.xylight.dev/post/131147) with the official Lemmy frontend. It has a really nice UI and I like using it alongside Alexandrite. [@rikudou@lemmings.world](https://lemmings.world/u/rikudou) would you consider hosting a copy for Lemmings.world, similar to how Alexandrite is available at a.lemmings.world? Thanks in advance!
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?
