You actually can use Stremio on iOS devices just fine. After you set it up using this guide just go to web.stremio.com on your iOS device, log in, and add that shortcut to your home page. You’ll also need to install VLC (for free) or Outplayer (I think it was $10, but worth every penny) and there’s really no way that I can tell that it isn’t a native app from the App Store.
I used to be into that sort of tinkering and custom install/configuring of all sorts of software. I probably still have 2-3 flircs in a drawer somewhere.
These days I just want to be able to buy something, plug it in, and have it work. The idea of installing a plex/jellyfin server and a custom OS on a pi might as well be the same as getting a 4 year degree at this point. I’m sure it works out great for loads of people, but it’s definitely not something I’m interested in.
What in the absolute fuck?
What an absolutely asinine article. Do they expect Apple to have invented the perfect cable for every product 40 years ago and have been using it since then? The iPhone has changed cables one time in 17 years and now that a government agency is forcing them to change again the Verge is gonna take that as an opportunity to criticize them for complying with the law. What a joke.
Don’t blame yourself, it was extremely poorly worded and unnecessarily confusing.
You can literally miss 100% of the content from lemmit by blocking one bot. Why would you ever want this instance to defederate and deny everyone else the option to be able to choose if they want to see that content or not?
If this does get implemented, of course it should be an option, but taking it a step further, I’d love for it to be a 3-way option between showing the full size image, showing the text, or showing a small thumbnail to give you an idea of what you’re clicking on. Personally, I think the thumbnail would be the best solution, as I don’t love the idea of just anyone in the comments being allowed to post giant pictures on my screen as I’m scrolling through, but I also want an idea of what I’m clicking on before viewing a picture. A small thumbnail seems perfect for that.
Edit: oddly enough, I just realized I just described the behavior of Apollo, which like…duh. No surprises there.
Activation lock on newer Apple devices is pretty bulletproof. Unless you’re stealing it for parts, it’s not gonna be worth your time and since the repairability is pretty low, I don’t see theft as being a huge problem for the Apple Watch.
Personally I would be more worried about it falling off with magnets. I was in a river this weekend and wasn’t worried at all, but if all I had was magnets holding it on, I would definitely think twice about going in with that setup.
I think, by far, my most missed feature of Apollo is the ability to save videos posted to Reddit directly to my photo album.
Yeah, a ratio means nothing if the bulk of the comments are only on a small portion of the posts. If 90% of the posts have 0 comments and the other 10% have 52.7 comments per post, that’s worth knowing.

I mean, when it was released, pretty much so everyone DID say that it couldn’t be done. Or at least that it would be extremely difficult without official support. It kinda looks like that’s the case.
