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…

On Apple devices at least, this is a feature of Universal Links, which are generally more secure than deeplinks for various reasons [1]. Not sure you can disable it completely, but in some cases you can override it by long-pressing the link and choosing to open it in the browser.

What is being deeplinked? I was able to read the page and click on the pictures all in my browser (iOS safari).

They mean how the phone lets apps handle browser urls instead of just opening the url in the browser.

That’s not deep linking (i.e., something set up by the person posting the link). It’s simply the specific device being configured to handle regular web links differently.

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…

If you’re on iOS, long-pressing on the bsky.app link in Safari and choosing “open” will open the link in Safari and remember your choice; the same works for YouTube links, etc.

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…

I don't think there's any AI-fication going on in that photo. The modified version has a more compressed tone curve to bring out more detail, along with jacked up saturation (especially evident for water). This is similar to what most cell phones do by default to make photos look more pleasing. I do agree that the original looks better, but the author of the post clearly prefers the modified version.

Clipped highlights in digital photography are simply impossible to eliminate in post-processing without conjuring nonexistent information. Even if you shoot raw. Different raw processors use different tricks, color propagation and such, but naturally they are best used when highlights are really small. I would not be surprised if tools like Lightroom invoke ML at the first hint of clipping (because why not, if you all you have is a hammer…).

Pro tip: Digital sensors are much less forgiving than negative film when it comes to exposing highlights. With a bit of foresight they are best tackled at shooting time. Highlights from water/glass reflections are tamed by a fairly cheap polarizing filter, and if you shoot raw you should do the opposite of negative film and always underexpose a scene with bright highlights (especially if highlights are large or are in your subject of interest). Let it be dark, you will have more noise, but noise is manageable without having to invent what doesn’t exist in the parts that are the most noticeable to human eye.

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.

Remove the app then?

Having an app installed but logged out is such a rare case, and one that’s easily solved.

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.

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)...

I wanted to have a widget of my commit graph; it's nice to see the little squares filled up. When I clicked a github link and my screen started bouncing and sliding around, I was very displeased.

I know what you're referring to. However there's no ability on iOS to control this behavior.

Question to people knowing adobe lightroom, could this feature be compromised? Is this just doing API calls to some remote thing?

I'm not sure what you mean by compromised but I'm pretty sure Adobe Firefly AI features are server-based. These features are too good to be done locally.
