What are you even talking about? It is literally a website.

I have the Bluesky app installed but I'm not logged in. So the website link is also being treated as an app deep link. It opens the app instead of just opening the website. I don't have a lot of familiarity with app deep links, but my understanding is that originally deep links required a special non-domain to be registered that was separate from a normal web url. Somewhere that's changed over the years and now regul…

I use Bluesky all the time and I have never installed the app on any platform. I suggest getting rid of it, if you're such a fan of the web.

Ok I'm getting tired of this habit of deep linking to apps. The apps either override existing web pages featuring the same content, or there's a web redirect to an app I might have installed but am not signed into. So in multiple cases, it's difficult to just read whatever the information is. Web pages are universally accessible. Everyone has a browser on their device of choice. The web is 35 years old. Access to inf…

The nefarious thing is some people will tell you there’s nothing wrong with the link and gaslight you into thinking you’re crazy – because they don’t have the Bluesky app installed.

On iOS and iPadOS, even github.com links will do this with the GitHub app installed.

We're complaining about a completely normal URL that links to a normal webpage. This is very, very silly.

I have to say that I think the photo without the Ligthroom processing actually looks better. The second one hasn't just added a bitcoin, it has also added the "AI shimmer" that seems to be a part of a lot of generated images. I can't put my finger on exactly what the characteristic is, but my first instinct (separate from the bitcoin, which was hard to find) is "that's an AI picture." Someone should just spend some t…

This reminds me of the soap-opera effect[0] on modern tvs. I have difficulty watching a movie on someone’s tv with it enabled, but they don’t even seem to notice.

But that's not OP deep linking to an app - it's just a normal website URL. It's you having your user agent configured to launch an app for this particular domain. Nothing that OP can do about that.

Is your device running iOS or iPadOS? This is default and non-configurable behavior. Even github.com will open in the GitHub app if you have it installed.

I understand the confusion (and frustration), but this is just a normal URL. The .app is just an ordinary TLD (but one of the newer ones.)

What is the use of a Github app on iPhone or iPad? I guess I could see it useful for reviewing pull requests and making comments if it's urgent (it's not) or your main dev device is out of reach (it can wait)...

There is no such thing as a deep link. If you don't like how your client device handles links, re-configure it or, if that's not possible, use a different device. The problem here is on your end.

I don’t know why you’re getting dogpiled over this, it’s a terrible experience of creeping non-consensual computation.

I had the official bsky app installed, but I ended up with Graysky at some point and just forgot about it, and somewhere along the way my browser vendor (Apple) and the app vendor (bsky) decided that I would probably tolerate this horseshit. Reddit pulls the same shit but that’s extra special because it’s broken, so it goes to the App Store screen for Reddit and you just can’t load it at all without a laptop.

If you’re one of the people arguing this is cool you’re ugly and stupid like people who disagree with Linus.
