Track mania. It’s a little addictive. Though I’m not good enough to participate in the online events, yet.

Nope, it really doesn't need that, just use any of the web clients if you need that.

But lemmy, nor Mastodon, nor Pixelfed, nor kbin need that.

Irish DPC says Meta's new Twitter rival won't be launched here -- But that's just because it hasn't been approved for GDPR. It'll come here of course, just not now.

It very much isn't a hail Mary to generate money, they'd have bent over backwards if they'd wanted to keep big players like Apollo and RIF on board, if it had been a hail Mary. 20 million bucks a year is nothing to be sneezed at.

The fact that they left Apollo out to dry shows that it never was about making more revenue, but rather to stamp out competition for their own app. As soon as it has accessibility parity with other apps, it'll turn off API access for unofficial reddit apps alltogether.

You would still know what Meta is thinking of doing on the Fediverse, and adjust course accordingly. Now we 1) know nothing, and 2) have closed off an avenue to gain information.

Can you use iPhones as Point of Sales devices?
I've seen plenty of those handheld devices that then attach to phones via Bluetooth for payments, but I haven't seen people use iPhones to scan bank cards for payment.

Or did you mean 5? Because with iOS17, Apple is introducing a way to share your personal data as a 'smart' business card type thing using your phone. And it might be that what was discussed at the NFC forum was a form of that.

On the one hand I can totally understand this reaction by Kev, on the other hand, by completely locking off all discussions like this, means that there's no way to change things for the better.

Granted, it's Meta, they're not to be trusted, but still, a discussion, if one has the time, wouldn't be too bad an idea.

 

These are the five key Forum roadmap innovation priorities:

1 Increased Power for NFC Wireless Charging. (from 1 watt to upto 3 watt of power)
2 Increased Range. (from 5mm to upto 30mm)
3 Multiple Purpose Tap. (improve the contactless user experience by supporting several actions with a single tap)
4 Modernizing Device-to-Device Communication. For instance enabling NFC-enabled smartphones to have Point-of-Sale functionality.
5 Expanding NFC’s Ability to Share Data Formats Needed for Sustainability.
