uuhhhhmmmm
I think we’re getting a lot of pictures for !pbsod@lemmy.ohaa.xyz
I think it’s not a good idea to leave links to Piped instead of YouTube (same for Nitter/Twitter, Libreddit/Reddit, etc.). If you want to avoid YouTube, then just install LibRedirect extension or similar. Piped links are temporary, they’ll break sooner or later, making it difficult for people to get to the website.
“All core systems are now at X.com”, so why opening x.com links in private window redirects to https://twitter.com/x/migrate?tok=, then again to x.com? I just cannot describe how stupid this is.
As others have noticed, it drops an error: “Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com”. The link has ?mx=2 parameter. I removed it and the page loaded correctly (but half of the viewport was clumped with banners). I tried again in a new private window, but never saw this error again, so this is a bug due to the aforementioned redirect.
But all user contributions on StackOverflow licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0… right?
Sounds like trouble for Newpipe, Sponsorblock, etc…
SponsorBlock isn’t affected at all, as I understood after reading an article. Why did you mention it?
And the CEO of that company wants us to “be comfortable” with not owning games.
But Google is likely trying this dark pattern to sway people away from F-Droid or alt stores by making users uninstall these apps and install it from the Google Play Store.
No, it’s the security measure. Anyone can use existing package ID. If the user installs a different app with the same package ID as the other, that new app just overwrites the old app and will have access to the sensitive data of it.
F-Droid apps are built and signed by the people at F-Droid. Apps from Google Play and GitHub are built and signed by the developers themselves. You can update Google Play apps from GitHub and vice versa. That’s why I use Obtainium over F-Droid.
