  • It very much isn’t a hail Mary to generate money, they’d have bent over backwards if they’d wanted to keep big players like Apollo and RIF on board, if it had been a hail Mary. 20 million bucks a year is nothing to be sneezed at.

    The fact that they left Apollo out to dry shows that it never was about making more revenue, but rather to stamp out competition for their own app. As soon as it has accessibility parity with other apps, it’ll turn off API access for unofficial reddit apps alltogether.



  • Go to wefwef.app in your browser. Now open the options menu of your browser (the three dots, if on Android, the square with the arrow pointing up, if on iOS) and find the option to put a bookmark on your home screen (in iOS it’s called “add to home screen”)

    This will create a sandboxed version of wefwef.app, tap it and it should load like a normal app. (this is what Apple envisioned as apps way back when, before they realized that they could make money selling apps)

    When the page has loaded, in the bottom middle, tap on “lemmy.world”, and log in to your Lemmy instance.

    Enjoy.

    One thing to be aware of. If you have selected more than one language in your Lemmy profile, wefwef fails to post comments because you need to select which language you typed in, and you can’t select that (yet?) in wefwef.




  • Can you use iPhones as Point of Sales devices?
    I’ve seen plenty of those handheld devices that then attach to phones via Bluetooth for payments, but I haven’t seen people use iPhones to scan bank cards for payment.

    Or did you mean 5? Because with iOS17, Apple is introducing a way to share your personal data as a ‘smart’ business card type thing using your phone. And it might be that what was discussed at the NFC forum was a form of that.
