What do you mean, “voyager wasn’t going to be supported”?

[–] aeharding 1 points 7 months ago (4 children)

The only time I've heard that happen is when people had Lockdown Mode enabled.

[–] aeharding 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Lol, weird. Thanks for the video.

Edit as a temporary workaround, don't drag the video slider from the leftmost edge (you can drag anywhere on the slider)

[–] aeharding 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't think this is possible. To block you need to provide lemmy the instance ID.

[–] aeharding 14 points 7 months ago

This will be fixed next release!

[–] aeharding 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes this is something I want to add for the ability to explore/rank communities like lemmy-ui.

[–] aeharding 4 points 7 months ago

The way it is in lemmy-ui now is fine.

[–] aeharding 38 points 7 months ago

Are you planning on sharing the results of the survey? I think the Lemmy folks would be interested in it too.

[–] aeharding 3 points 7 months ago

Now do jxl support

Hi! Just a quick announcement that I plan to drop support for Lemmy 0.18 in the Voyager app on March 18 2024.

Due to authentication changes in lemmy 0.18->0.19, this means that you will be unable to login to instances running lemmy 0.18.

Most instances have already upgraded to 0.19. I encourage Instances running 0.18 to upgrade as soon as possible. Those instances include:

  • lemmy.world (✅ ~~upgrade planned~~ upgraded March 3rd)
  • sh.itjust.works (✅ ~~upgrade planned~~ upgraded Feb 29th)
  • lemmy.blahaj.zone (✅ ~~upgrade planned~~ upgraded March 9th)
  • beehaw.org (⚠️ unknown upgrade timeline)

If you are a user on beehaw.org, please let your instance administrator know.

In addition, if you are on a very small instance, please check that it is running lemmy 0.19. You can do so by going to the community list -> header ellipse icon -> instance sidebar -> version listed at end of instance statistics.

This deadline will only be extended if lemmy.world is unable to upgrade by March 18.

If you are self-hosting Voyager, you can continue connecting to a v0.18 instance past this date by staying on Voyager 1.x (I will be dropping lemmy 0.18 support as a major version bump).

Just received the following email from Reddit...

u/[REDACTED],

tl;dr -- you're invited to a special program that lets redditors purchase stock at the same price as institutional investors when we IPO. Details about eligibility and next steps follow. This (long, dense) email has all the info we can provide due to legal restrictions.

As you may have heard, Reddit has taken steps toward becoming a publicly traded company with the initial public filing of our registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2024. Yes, it's happening.

And because you have helped make Reddit what it is today, you now have the opportunity to become Reddit owners at the same price as institutional investors.

We're offering a Directed Share Program ("DSP") that invites eligible users and moderators who have contributed to Reddit to participate in our initial public offering ("IPO"). (Including you!)

Program Requirements

While being selected to pre-register is the first step, there are certain legal and regulatory requirements to participate in the DSP that are outside of Reddit's control. Bear with us here...

To be eligible for the DSP, you must:

  • Be a current U.S. resident;

  • You will be asked to provide the DSP Administrator a valid social security or permanent resident number, along with other personal information. Reddit will not have access to this data.

  • Please note that U.S. residents using a VPN may face application limitations if the VPN locates them in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions.

  • Be at least 18 years old;

  • Provide your full legal name and an email address; 

  • Not be a current or former Reddit employee (FTE).

When the DSP launches (a few weeks after pre-registration ends), individuals who have been confirmed for the program will be contacted by our external DSP Administrator. You will then be asked to provide additional information securely to the DSP Administrator to confirm your eligibility.

How to pre-register

The number of people who can participate in the DSP is limited; we will offer this opportunity to as many redditors as we are able to accommodate. If capacity is reached before the deadline, you will be added to the waitlist. Based on demand, we may also limit the number of shares available.

**If you are interested in being part of Reddit's DSP, please go to https://reddit.com/dsp on desktop to complete the pre-registration form. **If you are one of the confirmed participants, we will follow up with an email with more details in the coming weeks. You can also refer to the Frequently Asked Questions for more information. Due to regulatory restrictions (yeah... we know...) we are not able to respond to further inquiries or questions.

Pre-registering does not guarantee that you will be invited or able to participate in the DSP; it also does not obligate you to purchase shares.

As with any investment opportunity, you should make an individual decision based on your own personal circumstances and risk tolerance. Therefore, we urge you to review the preliminary prospectus, when available, before deciding whether to invest in Reddit.

The deadline for pre-registering for the DSP is March 5, 2024. If capacity is reached before the deadline, you will be added to the waitlist.

What happens next?

While there won't be a confirmation email immediately after you pre-register, everyone who pre-registers will receive an email in the coming weeks from “[email protected]”, telling them whether they can proceed with the next steps for the DSP.

This is an automated message (beep, boop, beep) and does not receive replies. Please refer to the FAQ for more information. Per our lawyercats, we are not able to respond to further inquiries or questions.

Prospectus and Important Disclosures

The offering will be made only by means of a prospectus. When available, a copy of the preliminary prospectus related to the offering may be obtained from: Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Prospectus Department, 180 Varick Street, New York, New York 10014, or email: [email protected]; Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Attention: Prospectus Department, 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282, telephone: 1-866-471-2526, facsimile: 212-902-9316, or email: [email protected]; J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Attention:c/o Broadridge Financial Solutions, 1155 Long Island Avenue, Edgewood, New York 11717, telephone: 1-866-803-9204, or email: [email protected]; and BofA Securities, Inc., NC1-022-02-25, 201 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28255-0001, Attention: Prospectus Department, telephone: 1-800-294-1322, or email: [email protected].

A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This notification shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

No offer to buy the securities can be accepted and no part of the purchase price can be received until the registration statement has become effective, and any such offer may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time prior to the notice of its acceptance given after the effective date. An indication of interest in response to this notification will involve no obligation or commitment of any kind.

And here's the message when I visit reddit.com/dsp, along with a form:

Want to own a piece of Reddit?

Reddit Directed Share Program

We can't imagine a Reddit IPO without redditors. You Rickrolled Rick Astley. You gave us Mr. Splashy Pants. And r/Place… (you're welcome, internet). And now you can become one of our (non-corporate) overlords. Yes, it's really happening this time, and as we take the next step toward becoming a public company, we're inviting all eligible redditors to participate in Reddit's IPO.

“Eligible” you note skeptically? Yes. Unfortunately, there are a ton of imposed legal restrictions defining when, who, and how we do this. So while our goal is to give all redditors the same access to stock as institutional investors (why should they have all the fun?), our lawyercats tell us we must follow specific rules listed below.

Our Directed Share Program (“DSP”) is set up to let eligible users and moderators own a piece of Reddit by purchasing Reddit stock at the same price as institutional investors when we IPO. We will offer this opportunity to as many redditors as we are able to accommodate, and the number of people who can participate is limited.

Then there's a pre-registration form with First Name, Last Name, Email.

UPDATE MARCH 1 2024

Apparently apple has relented and my original post is no longer relevant. You can continue to use the PWA in the EU! I'll keep this post up for posterity. Apple.com:

UPDATE: Previously, Apple announced plans to remove the Home Screen web apps capability in the EU as part of our efforts to comply with the DMA. The need to remove the capability was informed by the complex security and privacy concerns associated with web apps to support alternative browser engines that would require building a new integration architecture that does not currently exist in iOS.

We have received requests to continue to offer support for Home Screen web apps in iOS, therefore we will continue to offer the existing Home Screen web apps capability in the EU. This support means Home Screen web apps continue to be built directly on WebKit and its security architecture, and align with the security and privacy model for native apps on iOS.

Developers and users who may have been impacted by the removal of Home Screen web apps in the beta release of iOS in the EU can expect the return of the existing functionality for Home Screen web apps with the availability of iOS 17.4 in early March.

Hi all! I hope you're doing well and enjoying Voyager's recent features! 💙 My apologies for the below post. I've tried to make it as simple as possible, but unfortunately it is a complex issue.

Due to Apple's iOS 17.4 update in the European Union, some users will need to migrate from the Voyager PWA to the Voyager native app to continue using Voyager by March 2024.

Applicability

IMPORTANT: This ONLY affects users:

  1. Living in the European Union, and
  2. Using an iPhone (iPad/Android not affected), and
  3. Using the PWA version of Voyager (not sure? continue reading)

Voyager has two versions:

  1. ⚠️ The PWA, added to home screen from https://vger.app, https://m.lemmy.world etc (affected)
  2. The native app, downloaded from the Apple App Store (NOT affected. You can stop reading if you are using the Voyager native app)

How do I tell if I am using the PWA or native app?

Go to the root of the Settings tab. Look through the menu options. If you see menu item "Install App" you are affected!

I'm affected. How do I keep using Voyager?

Download the Voyager native app:

Download on App Store

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/voyager-for-lemmy/id6451429762?platform=iphone

Please note you will have to reconfigure settings and login again.

FAQ:

Q: I live outside the EU. Does this affect me?

A: No.

Q: What will happen to my PWA settings?

A: If you are affected (see above criteria), Apple will delete them when you upgrade to iOS 17.4.

Q: Can I just not upgrade to iOS 17.4?

A: Yes, you can disable automatic updates. But I don't recommend that for security reasons.

Q: What is Apple's justification for removing PWAs in the EU?

Note: Apple calls PWAs "Home Screen Web Apps."

A: apple.com: Why don't users in the EU have access to Home Screen web apps? Please read with a grain of salt.

Q: Where can I get the Voyager native app?

A: You can download Voyager on the App Store:

Download on App Store

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/voyager-for-lemmy/id6451429762?platform=iphone

Q: More light reading plz?

A:

 

Paramotoring, or Powered Paragliding, is an amazing sport — the cheapest way to fly! The gear is also very compact and there's no licensing in the United States (although training is strongly recommended).

There's a nice brochure here with some of the more frequently asked questions. But also please feel free to ask below and I (or someone else) will try to answer! :)

Note: I realize this is a niche community, so feel free to ask even if this post is old!
