Yeah. I believe it has a different name on iOS, but they both have the feature.

A really nice feature would be a hardware button triggering this mode!

And I think iOS literally lets you configure the button on the side of the phone to enable this mode by quickly pressing it three times or something like that.

If you allow me to do a bit of self-promotion: https://code.mschae23.de/mschae23/mlmym (this is my fork of the software running on old.lemmy.world).

It's a different frontend rather than just a theme, so it needs to be set up separately (similar to lemmy-ui). If you have any questions, feel free to ask me :)

Same. I can also recommend the Qobuz download store, which has a larger library because they get their music from the usual distributors.

I was wondering when an open source solution to that would come out, similar to sponsorblock for YouTube, but I guess Spotify is first.

why is Apple not guilty of the same thing?

They are, I believe the commission has also been investigating apple for this. But it might also be considered a different situation since, as far as I understood, google was fined for pressuring other manufacturers into pre-installing google search and chrome on their devices.

Apple is ten times worse in this regard because you actually can't use any browser but Safari on iOS

Well, WebKit, not safari (you could say safari is apple's WebKit skin, I guess), but you're right. The DMA was supposed to fix this and force them to allow other browser engines, but I don't think much has changed in this regard. I'm not aware of any browsers not using WebKit on iOS so far, at least.

mlmym

I'm not familiar with what this is

mlmym is the old-reddit-like frontend discussed in this thread.

If you open https://old.lemmy.zip/, there is a “show images” button next to the nav links for the different sort orders. Unfortunately, it doesn't actually work there because lemmy.zip has the image proxy enabled, which the old version of mlmym they're running does not support.

In listings? mlmym already has that. I see the button also exists on comment pages on reddit, but that'd be less useful on lemmy where inline images are already expanded by default.

Keep in mind that rystaf/mlmym has been last updated years ago. old.lemmy.world uses the FHF's fork, which has had a few fixes made to it.

self promotionI actually have a fork of that fork at mschae23/mlmym which is significantly different (in terms of new features and bugfixes) from the others by now. In fact, this is what's deployed by your instance at old.lemmy.today :)

~~Though it unfortunately seems to be having issues with rate limits at the moment.~~

edit: This should be fixed now!

PACTs will let websites “with strong knowledge of ‘personhood’” issue anonymous tokens that browser users and designated bots can present at other websites, [...]

This sounds like another attempt at what google already tried with “web environment integrity”.

We do, AI companies just don't respect it.
