Punch nazis, trebuchet TERFs.

I am building Voyager, a client for lemmy!

I mainly post under @aeharding now.

In-app browsers still a privacy, security, and choice issue (www.theregister.com)

In-app browsers are like standalone web browsers without the interface – they rely on the native app for the interface. They can be embedded in native platform apps to load and render web content within the app, instead of outside the app in the designated default browser....

aeharding ,
@aeharding@lemmy.world avatar

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.

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.

Voyager can handle SVGs. The image you linked for the SVG is invalid. When I try to load it in a browser, it says there is a server error.

That sucks. As a 3rd party Lemmy app developer, I've only had positive interactions with the Lemmy devs. They're even being proactive in communications.

aeharding ,
@aeharding@lemmy.world avatar

That's not quite true - images are only shared if you attach the image to federated content, such as a post or comment. Then yes other instances will cache the image.

If you never do that, and just upload an image accidentally like OP then it will not be federated AFAIK.

without relying on your servers admins to do it

But I want to rely on my server admins for that. To me that's a feature, not a bug.

Why not just use AP?

That blusky didn't use [activitypub] is so typical of these companies. It's like the lightning cable when everyone else is using USB-C. Fuck you apple, and your shitty plug. And fuck you blusky and your reinvention of the wheel. Use the standard you egotistical F$*!4.

We had a thing a while back on Lemmy where a bunch of semi-popular instances (including lemmy.world, though they seem to have rolled that back) all defederated from instances that mentioned piracy. I don’t have a problem with piracy. I want to talk about piracy.

To me, that is a feature, too. The admin team made a decision, and the community engaged, the topic was discussed, and the decision was changed. To me that's a very healthy process. The only thing I would've changed would be LW engaging the community before defederating, but they were understandably worried about legal implications.

Even if LW didn't reverse this decision, you can change instances. Lemmy 0.19 makes this easier with import/export, but I would argue it should be even easier. Ultimately though this is a lemmy implementation detail, and not an activitypub problem.

aeharding ,
@aeharding@lemmy.world avatar

That's true, but it's not an inherent limitation of ActivityPub.

Any service can implement this today, with activitypub. Being an enhancement proposal is just an attempt to standardize extensions to ActivityPub, lots of the time that services have already implemented.

What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

I feel attacked

A RULE SPY'S IN THE BASE?! (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I searched up "Lemmy" on the PlayStore and noticed that Reddit appears right before the last lemmy client in that search X3 do u guys know if there r any other lemmy clients worth trying? I randomly felt like trying all I could find and for now I'll stay on Jerboa and the Web UI but I use Voyager too now, mainly for DMs...

I love how this post was made by a Sharkey user and has Mastodon users responding, despite me viewing via Lemmy.
