In iOS at least, it tells you in Settings > Safari > Extensions. E.g. if I tap into one of the AdGuard ones I see: “"AdGuard — General" does not have permission to read or transmit…

The timing surely is due to Sony’s recent announcement that they’re retiring physical media.

To be fair there are examples of freeform text tags in OpenStreetMap already, e.g. “description”.

Affiliate links being included in the app, despite community objections? The lead dev using donations to pay for holidays? Those are a couple that come to mind.

Unless I’m mistaken they both ultimately use OpenStreetMap data. So, effectively the same coverage of trails. AllTrails has its whole review system sitting on top of course.

The discussion is not just about online multiplayer games though, it’s about games in general. There is no good reason why buying a singleplayer offline game need be a “service”.

They said “can”, not “has”. Given that it’s a closed platform that Sony has complete control over, they certainly can do it. You can doubt that they will, but that’s just hope rath…

It’s not quite that detailed but iOS’s builtin “app privacy report” does give a fair amount of info, including a list of domains accessed.

Because 99% of apps would request it & not function without it, desensitising users into blindly accepting it. Most apps do have a legitimate reason for accessing the internet, so …

This blog does a great job of explaining the architecture. In practice though I’d thought the “problem” was that Bluesky (the corporation) runs the main app and hosts almost all of…

I still use smart playlists in Apple Music. Your comment seems to imply they removed that functionality?

Even on an iPhone you can back up your library to Google Photos or other services. You just can’t do so directly through Apple’s Photos app.

In my experience iOS 26.4 did largely fix it btw. Update if you haven’t already.

What? Apple support their phones for a very long time. I got 8 years out of my previous iPhone.

You can assign the action button to run a shortcut, which opens up thousands of possibilities for what it can do.

Surely that’s by design? If stopping the alarm was “easy”, a half-awake person could accidentally stop it rather than snooze it.

It opens the door to tech-illiterate users being tricked into disabling security features, doesn’t it? Not saying I agree with it but I imagine that’s the motivation.

No, I’ve downloaded the entire library to a new Mac. It worked fine.

That doesn’t sound right. My photo library is larger than my iPhone’s storage yet downloads fine on my Mac. Just need to make sure “optimise storage” is enabled on the iPhone and d…

The ban is being enacted by the Australian Labor Party, which the Murdoch media is certainly not friendly with. If it ends up favouring Murdoch, it won’t have been deliberate.

When I opened Discord recently a popup appeared explaining how to earn “Orbs” and trade them for rewards. I’d say that’s pretty consistent with “capitalist hellscape”.

“Less than a minute” is going to feel horribly slow to people that are used to instant-resume and not having to think about shutdown vs. sleep. You might be okay with it, but I sus…

By “this app” I assume you’re referring to Maps.me. I can recommend Organic Maps. It has none of those crypto shenanigans and is a great offline OSM-based app.

I’d summarise it like this: * Organic Maps: simpler, nicer, more intuitive UI. Better for most general use cases. * OsmAnd: a somewhat clunky UI, but more powerful and flexible. Be…

The Go Map!! editor on iOS recently added StreetComplete-style quests.
