Just wondered if there’s an update? The announcement made it seem like it was nearly ready but six months on there’s little publicly visible on sublinks.org?

Does anyone have any hints as to how to get Beeper Mini working with a UK SIM?

Whichever SIM I try, when it gets to the phone registration stage (sending an SMS to Apple) I get a message “ Something went wrong -please check your network settings or try again later”

Things I’ve done:

Checked network settings Tried again later Tried different SIMs with different numbers Cleared Cache and Storage. Uninstalled and reinstalled app Turned phone off and on. Tried a different phone.

Is it just buggy as hell rubbish?

I had an email yesterday telling me that the Apple One subscription was going up for the second time in twelve months.

It no longer represents good value for me and I can save nearly £100 a year by cancelling and subscribing to the important parts that I use most.

Apple are not alone in increasing prices (in a cost of living crisis) to the point they no longer represent fair value. What is it with companies that they lack basic business smarts?

I also have an account on another instance. The sole admin hasn’t been heard of for three weeks. There don’t seem to have been any mod actions for a month and the instance hasn’t been updated to the latest version.

At the moment I’m more concerned about the admin (I hope they are okay). But what would happen if they don’t show up? I guess eventually the instance would disappear without warning or be defederated if bad actors take over.

Is there anything built in to Lemmy that would allow a takeover if a big instance went under?
