Not a good look for Mastodon - what can be done to automate the removal of CSAM?

    None of what you're saying has to do with handing over user's data to police and government officials without a warrant - every other smartphone OS vendor does it, except Apple, so I'll continue to use their devices because they protect my data, and their products are well-made and integrate with each other well.

    Your slippery slope fallacy is funny, though. Sure, Apple is just as guilty as every of vendor of using it's users data to enrich it's services, but they still put UI/UX at the forefront compared to others - their design system is certainly better than Android's material design. Google apps aren't even designed with one-handed bottom screen mobile navigation. Apple's modal-based system where each section's last state is preserved and maintain's it's own back gesture timeline is far more intuitive than Android's system-wide back-gesture, which throws the user all over the place.

    Eh, other vendors have been known to cooperative with police and government officials and hand over user data without a warrant - any evidence that's been the case with Apple?

    I've used Firefox as my main browser for a year or two now, and it definitely wastes the most battery life and uses the most RAM on my laptop. I've had some websites (job sites) not display "Apply to Job" buttons properly. My Yubikey wasn't supported on many websites with Firefox (only Chrome/Safari) until recently. Chrome feels stagnate, though - I love Firefox's auto-pause, PiP, bookmarks tagging and keyword searches.

    For sure! Discussing new features within this community is a great idea - I just know the dev himself said he implements suggestions faster when they’re put in GitHub, so it may be worth adding over there eventually.

    I added a suggestion for adding starts next to subcommunities to favorite them, and they were able to implement them in a few days - pretty cool!

    WhatsApp is great at marketing their e2ee, but nobody talks about the fact that they have so many backdoors out in the wild - they're found annually. See: How Jeff Bezos's photos were hacked.

    Keep using SMS? What are Apple's other alternatives, exactly? RCS is still a mess, the only way it has e2ee is if you use Google's messaging app, and there's no way you will see Apple adopting Google's standard without having a say in it, and rightfully so - Google locks tons of proprietary features out of their APIs - EXIF data for Photos, Categories in Gmail, etc.

    I think this is actually more of a comment on Google's lack of direction with messaging - how many different messaging apps have they sunset by now? Half dozen or so? Messaging has always been a cluster on Android. WhatsApp is supposedly e2ee, but they have backdoor bugs being patched on a nearly basis - ask Jeff Bezos how his dick pics got hacked.

    Oh c'mon now, Apple and iOS apps have too good of a user experience? That's the issue? You call it "dumbing down software", I call it implementing user experience research and design.

    After dabbling with Mastodon twitter clones for a few months, Lemmy seems so much easier to understand and get up and running and feeling like you're part of a more active community than Mastodon was for me. I can pretty much tell anybody to go sign up at lemmy.world from a computer and they can figure it out for the most part.

    I’m loving Lemmios! Definitely one of my favorite of the betas of the tried. Any chance you could add the ability to share and open a post in Safari?

    Just so you're aware, Google Photos doesn't export EXIF location data, nor does it allow you to export the full resolution of your images. This is a huge issue! See: Google Photos Limitations
