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.

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.

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.

Some seeders rotate, so just let it sit for a while. I’ve had success after a few weeks of waiting. Works more often than you’d think.

This is how I feel, except watching Star Trek

(I don’t like the Earth episodes. At all.)

‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything

Your video doesn’t work on iOS.

Well, yeah, just look at the latest Google Maps update. The new maps layer overemphasizes highways with high contrast. Even places like Amsterdam. Doesn’t matter zoom level. If you are not getting around by a car, everything is low contrast shit.
