Thx! This setting got added to the back-end, so other UI’s can benefit from it too.

Correct opinion.

Yall remember that time BBC got caught doctoring images from bloggers in China and making them all dark and depressing? British state media is nothing but tabloid trash.

I don’t think it’s wrong to stay with apple, you could always just go with something else for your next phone, although if you are concerned enough about the privacy aspect, you could always sell your phone, and get some advice about which are the best smartphone models to run the privacy-focused android variants.

Some of them list the devices they work on, like lineageOS.

There’s ppl here a lot more knowledgeable than I am here that could help you choose one.

Only in imperial-core countries, most Gen Z’s worldwide don’t use apple products.

Few reasons, first is this: . Seems like as long as something has a clean interface, or it looks shiny enough, then all its privacy faults are overlooked.

Apple also seems to intentionally cultivate and sell their products as privacy-friendly, which is clearly not the case (see image above).

2nd reason is that I had an iphone 2g (one of the first models, I forget which one), and it had bluetooth support. An iOS update broke it, and when I reached out to apple, they lied to me and told me my device had no bluetooth module at all. They’re one of the worst offenders of planned obsolescence, and have become one of the richest companies on the planet because of it.

3rd reason: they sell overpriced products to mainly to high-income imperial-core consumers, selling an image of “upper-class professional”. Look at a graph of iOS market share worldwide, vs its market share in the richest countries. Apple didn’t even bother to condescend to make affordable products for the global south.

The markup on iphones is something outrageous, like 40% of the purchase price is going to the shareholders of apple, not the workers who built the phones. By buying apple, you are mainly supporting these wealthy parasites. Its also why other smartphone brands have higher performance at half the cost of iphones. They really bank on the fact that they’re selling an upper-class identity, and less of a phone.

4th reason: Their ecosystem is locked down in such a way as to make it difficult for open source development. iirc apple won’t even let you use the GPL for any app on their app store.

France has assassinated 22 African presidents since 1963.

Sure. I’m fairly sure you can, bc you’re the top mod, but I’ll try.

Done, it’s yours.

What’s your user setting for show_score?

Its a bug for instances that haven’t updated to 0.19.4 yet.

Props to @rodrigo-fm and @mv-gh for all this work.

Just merged a fix for that, it’ll be in the next release (likely tmrw).

Could you open up an issue on the github for this (if you didn’t already).

Sweet!

Not sure if there’s anything we can do about this one, but open up an issue on the github.

Eventually, but I’m spread pretty thin. It def needs more contributors.

Not always, but I try to add features to it quickly that get added to lemmy.

Thx! Let me know if the postgres upgrade helper script I provided has any issues.

This is correct, and we’ve been following this for lemmy too.
