Wisconsin does this to preserve native ecosystems! I believe this particular land is maintained by the County.

Prescribed fire is the intentional application of fire to a specific pre-planned area, under specific environmental conditions, to accomplish planned land management objectives. Without the use of prescribed burning as a management tool, Wisconsin could lose many of its native grassland, wetland and savanna plant communities.

In-app browsers still a privacy, security, and choice issue (www.theregister.com)

In-app browsers are like standalone web browsers without the interface – they rely on the native app for the interface. They can be embedded in native platform apps to load and render web content within the app, instead of outside the app in the designated default browser....

It’s crazy that the in-app browser isn’t an OS-level overlay that the app can’t influence or look at what the user is doing in it.

Android and iOS both have apis for in app browsers that are secure by design. Voyager for Lemmy uses this. Mastodon uses this. Last I checked even Twitter used this. However Facebook does not.

these platforms also offer lower level APIs to build custom interface which are more powerful and flexible (but can be abused). This isn’t necessarily a problem. Custom browser apps need that functionality, and apps sometimes display their own content with web views.

The problem is that app stores allow slapping a skin on this more powerful API and treating it like an in app browser to connect to arbitrary sites. Dumb imo. If you offer an in app browser, it should be required to use the platforms secure in app browser API.

More powerful APIs should only be available to browser apps and displaying your own content in a web view.

Mlem in app browser is using an in app browser API that is secure by design. It doesn’t allow snooping or injecting anything. This article is talking about abusive apps like Facebook that roll their own in app browser.

Edit: although on iOS, the secure iOS in app browser api is always using safari engine, so the user choice argument is still valid.

Voyager can handle SVGs. The image you linked for the SVG is invalid. When I try to load it in a browser, it says there is a server error.

I made a purchase on a sketchy site (during Covid when things were hard to find). A day or so later, some unauthorized transactions were made on my card. “Bank” called from actual number of my bank, to verify if I actually made the transactions. provided some of my personal information, transaction amount etc then asked to verify ssn. It was very convincing.

Luckily I refused because I know anyone can call you claiming to be any number, and I didn’t give out any info, and said I would call back that number (my bank).

Bank had no knowledge of a call.

15 minutes later, get real fraud department call from my bank. They just wanted to know if it was fraud or not and didn’t ask for any other info.

Moral of the story: if someone calls you, never give out personal info. Tell them you will call back if needed.

It’s supposed to be getting better, but moving very slowly.

spoofing is pretty common still afaik.

“We are aware of reports of civilians killed as a result of humanitarian airdrops,” CENTCOM said. “We express sympathies to the families of those who were killed. Contrary to some reports, this was not the result of U.S. airdrops.”

This wasn’t the result of US airdrops. Might want to read the article

Upgrade to iOS 17.4 and report back

That’s annoying. It works for me on android, and on iOS after upgrading to the version just released.

If it works in the browser, then it’s probably a different issue than the one I am having.

aeharding ,
@aeharding@lemmy.world avatar

That sucks. As a 3rd party Lemmy app developer, I’ve only had positive interactions with the Lemmy devs. They’re even being proactive in communications.

That’s not quite true - images are only shared if you attach the image to federated content, such as a post or comment. Then yes other instances will cache the image.

If you never do that, and just upload an image accidentally like OP then it will not be federated AFAIK.

Yeah, this. Remark, the markdown library Voyager uses, is very powerful but also extremely complex (it has to be, to deal with Markdown edge cases).

I made a bit of progress last week on a custom plugin but it’s a lot of work. There’s like 4 layers of parsing required.

I wish Lemmy used GFM spoilers, which just uses normal details and summary html tags. But alas.

It’s really annoying there’s no standard markdown syntax in common mark.

That’s because only a Boolean flag changes when deleted by user. Comment content stays.

Any service can implement this today, with activitypub. Being an enhancement proposal is just an attempt to standardize extensions to ActivityPub, lots of the time that services have already implemented.
