The way it is in lemmy-ui now is fine.

Are you planning on sharing the results of the survey? I think the Lemmy folks would be interested in it too.

Now do jxl support

Mlem in app browser is using an in app browser API that is secure by design. It doesn’t allow snooping or injecting anything. This article is talking about abusive apps like Facebook that roll their own in app browser.

Edit: although on iOS, the secure iOS in app browser api is always using safari engine, so the user choice argument is still valid.

It’s crazy that the in-app browser isn’t an OS-level overlay that the app can’t influence or look at what the user is doing in it.

Android and iOS both have apis for in app browsers that are secure by design. Voyager for Lemmy uses this. Mastodon uses this. Last I checked even Twitter used this. However Facebook does not.

these platforms also offer lower level APIs to build custom interface which are more powerful and flexible (but can be abused). This isn’t necessarily a problem. Custom browser apps need that functionality, and apps sometimes display their own content with web views.

The problem is that app stores allow slapping a skin on this more powerful API and treating it like an in app browser to connect to arbitrary sites. Dumb imo. If you offer an in app browser, it should be required to use the platforms secure in app browser API.

More powerful APIs should only be available to browser apps and displaying your own content in a web view.

Back in my day we couldn’t walk or bike to the grocery store because the streets were so dangerously designed

I’m a monthly donor :)

:( Best Buy has the best shuckable hdd deals

It’s supposed to be getting better, but moving very slowly.

spoofing is pretty common still afaik.

I made a purchase on a sketchy site (during Covid when things were hard to find). A day or so later, some unauthorized transactions were made on my card. “Bank” called from actual number of my bank, to verify if I actually made the transactions. provided some of my personal information, transaction amount etc then asked to verify ssn. It was very convincing.

Luckily I refused because I know anyone can call you claiming to be any number, and I didn’t give out any info, and said I would call back that number (my bank).

Bank had no knowledge of a call.

15 minutes later, get real fraud department call from my bank. They just wanted to know if it was fraud or not and didn’t ask for any other info.

Moral of the story: if someone calls you, never give out personal info. Tell them you will call back if needed.

Downvotes are red in Voyager, consistent with lemmy-ui and Jerboa.

Voyager has spoilers! It’s not in the markdown toolbar yet but if you know the syntax it works

My town is in the midst of a heatwave. It’s too fuckin’ hot.

Apps

If it works in the browser, then it’s probably a different issue than the one I am having.

That’s annoying. It works for me on android, and on iOS after upgrading to the version just released.

Upgrade to iOS 17.4 and report back
