#392If you're mad at Bluesky for doing this, I think you're mad at the wrong party. Modifying intent is problematic and can be abused (although I think there's nothing particularly problematic about this particular instance). The real problem is that you have next to no possibility of modifying the behavior. On an OS that respects user freedom, there would by a myriad ways of intercepting what the software is doing to get your desired result. On iOS, you're at the mercy of Apple. I think we should be mad at Apple for normalizing a computing culture that views user freedom as a security risk, potentially something that should be outlawed (thinking of age verification).

#394This is in fact a watermark to promote the application, which otherwise wouldn't be recognizable since Bluesky looks like every other microblogging app. I didn't know that Sam literally named the file GrowthHack.tsx, which is pretty funny.
I mean, X does the exact same thing
In X's case, the advertising is just the close button.

Lots of people here exposing their single sign on approve code because a scammer ask them to send them a screenshot.
So that means this change will result in a noticeable decline in such scams, right? Right??
Potentially worse than nothing, it allows for someone to claim they have a fix even if the fix does nothing to stop someone from becoming a victim, thus allowing for even stronger victim blaming.

#398This is why pocket computers are still so unserious. My programs should not be aware let alone respond to my administrative actions like screenshots.
Not only 'pocket computers' are an issue. I was thoroughly shocked when I found out that websites can detect that the dev-tools are open. That is something that a website should never be able to know, yet here we are.
I ran into a government site that not only was aware of the devtools being open, but also stopped virtually all user actions if it did. And it worked quite well- to bypass it, I had to block the detection script from loading altogether since merely removing the event listener didn't work.

#399This is phone OS developer's fault for even allowing it. When I take a screenshot, I expect to have an image of exactly whatever was displayed on the screen at the time. Its not a picture of your app, its a picture of my screen. Some banking apps used to (or still) prevent this and now some apps get a hook to insert their branding. My device serves some master other than myself.
This exists for a very good reason. It’s so if an app is showing a password or bank account number or other piece of sensitive information it doesn’t accidentally end up in a screenshot. I think there are other places sensitive information won’t show. Bluesky, and apparently others, are abusing the functionality for advertising purposes. I think it’s a good thing it’s there. This functionality should be easy for apps…
You know you could declare your app screen sensitive and then a screenshot requires a face id?
Whatsapp also does this shit. You can’t screenshot a conversation (it comes back black). I am going Chinese for my next phone.

I actually hate that apps are allowed to blank out content on screenshots, and this can't be disabled. There are apps completely mis-using it, e.g. mobile payment apps which hardly show any sensitive data in most cases, but now I can't share e.g. infos on screen with someone else easily. It's a classic case of someone discovering a feature and thinking "hell yeah, so much security" without understanding or caring abo…
I understand the sentiment, but think about the non-technical user. Every time I use my mothers or any elderlies phone there are a lot of screenshots in the gallery, because they accidentally click the combo. How many people get scammed using screen sharing? It isn't that unreasonable to prevent this vector just to be more safe, especially if the bank might be partially at fault if a scam happens.
People also get scammed using accessibility services, so some banks deliberately make their app inaccessible unless you're running a whitelisted screen reader. If you are running a non-whitelisted screen reader...
