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.
FYI: xManager itself is Open-Source, Spotify obviously isn't.
I won't properly reply to this, I'm biased cuz a friend of mine works on this 🥴
That's just fine.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
Codeberg, woo!
