Seems like @mozilla is doing something right
  • They should've just moved the other twitter domains too 🫠

  • Twitter/x.com is now forcing you to disable Firefox's Enhance Tracking Protection.
  • This is a deliberate decision to force people to turn off tracking protection.

    No this is a hilarious fuckup where they forgot to move twitter.com, pbs.twimg.com and more off of the Twitter domains, so Firefox started blocking it because to Firefox it looks like Social Media trackers.

    Mozilla already pushed a fix.

  • Seems like @mozilla is doing something right
  • This issue comes from the fact that even though the domain is now changed to x.com, it still tries to load content from twitter.com which Firefox thinks is social media tracking because it's coming from a different domain than the one you're on.

    It's a hilarious and dumb oversight with this change.

  • How can I find out whether my homeserver is correctly set up to support sliding sync?
  • Yeah but logically speaking that's what EX looks fort, and chances are that it'll work (because why else would it be in the response?)

  • How can I find out whether my homeserver is correctly set up to support sliding sync?
  • Yes, the entire point is that it is the client where Sliding-Sync is being developed and tested.

  • How can I find out whether my homeserver is correctly set up to support sliding sync?
  • Open https://yourserver.example/.well-known/matrix/client and see if this part exists in it:

    "org.matrix.msc3575.proxy": {
        "url": "https://slidingsync.lab.matrix.org"
    }
    

    if so, chances are it'll just work.

  • Removed
    xManager APK for Spotify
  • FYI: xManager itself is Open-Source, Spotify obviously isn't.

  • Thoughts on LMO Droid?
  • I won't properly reply to this, I'm biased cuz a friend of mine works on this 🥴

  • Thoughts on LMO Droid?
  • That's just fine.

  • iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes
  • no I don't believe a damn word of what apple's gonna say on this, I just wanted to get the message out there that generally file deletion works by allowing data to be overwritten, so if the images are local this could very well just be that either it's showing data that hasn't been overwritten yet or it accidentally brought things out of the "recently deleted" depending on how long ago it was deleted.

  • iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes
  • no when I say "overwritten" I mean that the area is set as deleted in the filesystem and the next time something writes to that area the data that was there before is disregarded.

  • iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes
  • yeah cuz for normal, day-to-day use that's exponentially slower the more you're deleting

    You can do that when you wipe something.

  • Pixwox Videos and Buffering
  • If all that you wanna do is download stuff, maybe try https://cobalt.tools

    It pretty much just grabs the raw URL to the content for you, without the UI and fluff (in the case of Instagram) so you can just do a little "save as..." and it's worked quite reliably for me to view content my friends sent me.

  • iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes
  • I mean, to be completely fair, that's how data storage works.

    We cannot really just make data disappear, so we let it get overwritten instead

  • For discussing Fediverse accessibility, where would you recommend me to go? Or stay here?
  • Note that tons of instances have increased the limit FAR beyond 500 chars. Mine has 2000.

  • You can actually put alt-text in images, ![alt-text](URL)

  • Telegram CEO calls out rival Signal, claiming it has ties to US government
  • The algorithm was neither proposed nor designed by the US government, it was made by (what is now known as) Signal, a 501c nonprofit.

    The claims of signal being "state-sponsored" come from assuming how money flows through the OTF - Open Tech Fund - which has gotten grants from government programs before. (IIRC)

    It wouldn't make sense for the US Gov. to make such a grant to make a flawed protocol, as any backdoor they introduce for themselves would work for any outside attacker too - it's mathematics. It works for everyone or for no one. Would they really wanna make tools that they themselves use, just to have it backdoored by other state actors?

    And again, Durov's claims are entirely assumptions, and that coming from someone that has had [various](https://mtpsym.github.io// different vulnerabilities and weird bugs on their platform

  • Manifest V3 Updates
  • As per the MV3 Specification, it is supposed to remove some APIs.

    Firefox included them anyways cuz they're not assholes.

  • Manifest V3 Updates
  • Manifest V3 changes capabilities and meta-data about extensions, including limiting lots of things that worsen the experience for AdBlock Users.

    Google's "cookie replacement" is Ad Topics, which collects your browser history and puts it into categories, sending those categories to websites.

  • Feature Request: More offline functionality

    Currently there is a lot of functionality that in theory does not require an account, although Voyager still prompts you to create one.

    Whilst I now have one, I initially intended not to.

    Either way, there are a good amount of features that could be adjusted to fit guest / offline accounts, including:

    • Changing the guest instance
    • Allow saving posts locally as guest (not synced, ofc)
    • Allow changing subscriptions as guest (there's already some in guest view anyways, I figured being able to change them would be nice)

    Does the MXID in Lemmy's 'Matrix User' field actually show up or get used?

    I've always found the Matrix User option that Lemmy has quite interesting, but I have noticed that...it does not even show up anywhere?

    The fact this option exists is cool, but what is the use if it doesn't show up anywhere?
