On iOS, Avelon is the best Lemmy client I have ever used (in my opinion even better than Apollo was), though some features are still missing. Smooth, fluid, beautiful, functional!
I think this is good advice. Also, the non-pro models tend to be lighter (we’ll have to see if this is true for the 15 series as they are rumored to switch to Titanium, which is lighter).
We aim to officially release the Fedora Asahi Remix by the end of August 2023.
Very soon after Asahi Linux started (well before our Arch ARM-based release), Neal Gompa joined our IRC channels and we started talking about working towards integrating our work into Fedora… The Fedora Asahi project started in late 2021, and work began in 2022 alongside the Arch ARM release.
Working directly with upstream means not only can we integrate more closely with the core distribution, but we can also get issues in other packages fixed quickly and smoothly. This is particularly important for platforms like desktop ARM64, where we still run into random app and package bugs quite often.
I think for some cases the app already in the App Store has ads and other monetisation (e.g. IAP). In these cases the app is modified to remove these and allow you to get the benefits that were behind a paywall in-game
I feel like something like Fedora fits the bill: great, reliable, well-maintained repositories, decently updated kernels, yet never faced any major issues, and access to quite updated packages. Only issue is Red Hat caused a stir recently, though I still believe Red Hat does more good than bad in the open source community.
These apps force you to give access to your contacts and send fake nudes to them if you don’t pay:
Anyone unable to pay these fees and charges faced even bigger problems. The apps required users to grant access to contacts when applying for a loan, and the companies would then threaten to message all of their contacts if they didn’t pay. One user said that the app company even threatened to create fake nudes of her, and to send these to her contacts. My friend’s sister used an app named white Kash to take a loan and now they’ve access to her contact list. They’re also threatening to send her nude pics (they morphed her face) to her contact list.
Fantastic description! This is an issue that made it difficult to justify to my management to allow them to allow Macs, but thankfully Apple Silicon was big enough of a game changer to sway the decision
