“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.

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.

The problem with “org” part. We’ll never have org.gnome and com.gnome packages. Some apps have io.github.foo.bar. This entire thing is also case sensitive, so I have to guess is org.gnome.epiphany right name or org.gnome.Epiphany.

You’ve already defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, so I don’t care

Would be better if it was possible to hide it, like in home feed. I don’t want to see shorts in my subscription feed. It takes so much space.
