It’s on a Fairphone 3 on Android 13. On Wi-Fi Private DNS works perfectly, but as soon as I switch to 4G the internet connection don’t work anymore. As soon as I reset the private DNS to default it works as intended again. That’s seems to be a carrier issue.
On iOS: Safari > Lemmy website > Hit share button > Add to home screen. On android, I assume steps will be similar.
I wholeheartedly recommend PWA app as such is published by the publisher of website itself, and I don’t need to download it either from official or 3rd party store.
In case you don’t know, PWA is basically a web app, running using your browser engine, which has almost same look-n-feel of native app.
Maybe I’m behind on my terms but does this count as a dark pattern?
It was my understanding that dark patterns are a thing designed to use a service in a way that they wouldn’t normally intend to, like renew a subscription or leave privacy options to the benefit of the company instead of the user.
This just seems like a scam, or at best highly deceptive advertising? Like, for it to be a dark pattern it would have to actually be able to send you to some android update system, but it almost certainly isn’t ever going to do that.
Idk, I’ve tried a few but still like Boost; just can’t get into Jerboa or Liftoff, which I tried. It’s mostly just their ad network being meh — though I mostly just get crappy fake gameplay ads, and not enough to bother me. I’m not even sure if they’re targeting me, cause if they are, they’re pretty bad at it.
Unfortunately I’m sure the app developer doesn’t get much say, virtually all mobile app networks are cancer.
When the update happened, The version of Jerboa in the app store and fdroid was not compatible with the 0.19 changes as you could not sign in, so I just switched to Eternity (which seemed to handle 0.19 better) instead of looking for a RC version of Jerboa.
Edit: There are no problems with the current version of Jerboa (0.0.55) and Lemmy 0.19.2, just to make things clear.
That is why i am confused. The person I replied to claims that Jerboa and Liftoff have a bad ad-network. While i don’t know Liftoff Jerboa for sure has no ads 🤔
I used my Google rewards credit to remove ads in Sync, because I ain’t paying for that shit and they would have expired anyway.
As long as you go out every now and then (to shops or next to shops) and consistently answer the rewards stuff (doesn’t need to be true it seems, just consistent) then you’ll eventually be in the same boat as me and probably many others where you’ll eventually have nothing to spend the rewards on as you’ll have bought all the apps you need and will ditch the rewards in the end.
Please. For the love of god, NEVER use a proprietary app to use a piece of FOSS software. I think it’s kind of sad that we have this amazing FOSS social network and people use fucking proprietary software to use it.
There are a bunch of good FOSS Lemmy clients, which I’d argue are as good as Sync or Boost (I can’t know for sure since I don’t use proprietary software, I judge by the screenshots).
Jerboa sucks, I’ll give you that. But both Voyager and Eternity are high quality clients that work amazingly well and are constantly updated. They have plenty of features and are very configurable.
AGPL doesn’t apply when you are accessing the server over a public API.
The AGPL does apply when interacting with the covered work (Lemmy server) over a network. A proprietary client would still nevertheless be required, upon request, to furnish you with the source code of the covered work it is talking to over the network (the Lemmy server).
Do you really know what you are talking about? I think you’re bullshitting. We are talking about propriety client which doesnt modified the source codes of the server.
i use sync. there’s nothing even close to the quality of the client. (The onlt client that implements material you in a fun and usable way, sync is usable one-handed)
I had been using Liftoff for a while (before switching to Sync as soon as it came out), which i quite liked but it feels a lot worse than sync
