I was not expecting an IOS update for my ancient iPad Min 2.

But, here one is. 12.5.8. To update certificates, apparently.

Genuinely impressed at Apple. This is an almost 13 year old device. Thanks for not bricking my device when certs expire next year.

Yay I finally found how to turn on “dark mode” on iOS 12
It is not a true dark mode, just a feature called smart inversion. But it is good enough tbh

Fluffychat is the only one app for matrix for a old #iphone6 but ...

> Looks like WebRTC.framework/WebRTC (which was built for iOS 13.0) indicates that it is the fault of the webrtc plugin which needs iOS 13 at least. I don't know a workaround here so I fear that there is no way to fix it :-/ Only way seems to be to drop support for iOS 12 if no one else has an idea

Do you have an idea?

#WhatsApp unterstützt noch #Android5. Vermutlich hat die Entscheidung zukünftig #iOS12 nicht mehr zu unterstützen einen finanziellen Hintergrund. Der Aufwand lohnt sich nicht mehr, da der Anteil von Geräten mit iOS 12 zu gering ist.

Das sagt leider auch viel über das #Android-Ökosystem aus. Ist es 2024 noch sicher ein OS zu nutzen, dass das letzte Update im April 2015 erhalten hat?

No dark mode, no party #iOS12
