    So if an iPhone gets stolen, would having Find My completely disabled actually be a bad thing if we’re trying to improve device security? I see that’s listed in the article.

    Would this affect the ability to use the remote lock & wipe functionality?





    • App Store for iPhone
    • App Store for iPad
    • App Store for Apple Watch
    • App Store for Mac
    • App Store for Apple TV

    I guess if this gets argued correctly it means Apple could technically get away with not opening up the iPad, Apple TV and Apple Watch to accept other stores (Mac already lets you install apps directly from developers). I can see this still letting Apple continue to have the stranglehold over their ecosystem.

    I doubt this will change much though. We all know the EU were specifically thinking about the iPhone which needs opening up.

    I caved and downloaded the Reddit app to get my fix for more niche communities that don’t have Lemmy equivalents yet (I don’t have the time nor the energy to stand up new Lemmy communities).

    The app is just so infuriating and information dense. I struggle to figure out what’s actually content and what’s just an advert. Navigating doesn’t make much sense either.

    Stay away from the app. Use the website if you absolutely have to.


  • This is certainly one way to spin this.

    It doesn’t touch on all the other donations signal receives, including the major loan from Brian Acton. The OTF isn’t the only source of funding that signal has.

    Signal will be fine. In fact now that the OTF have withdrawn funding it’ll probably shake off the weird take that Signal is CIA tech.
