I wish their deep tech teams moved as fast as the privacy violating ones.

If it's any solace the privacy violating ones are also slow

In my opinion it carries much truth. Somewhere in Google's archives there is a message I sent to the OC that said, "The department of philosophy does not ship solutions to real problems, that is why there has never been a successful company that insisted the world adapt to its philosophy." Google was, even then, blind to what they were missing.

this prompted me to search and find: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/xcancel/

Thank you. Twitter has become such a terrible website in the last years. Well, since Musk, really. Real disaster.

Off-topic, but clicking this link instantly crashes my desktop in both Firefox and Chromium. Debian 13 with backports kernel, AMD laptop graphics.

I have never seen anything like it in 20 years of Linux desktop use.

Firefox and Vivaldi browsers on Gentoo, NVIDIA GPU, both work normally with that link.

So it must be something very specific to what software you have installed, unless it is an AMD GPU problem, but neither of the 2 links (x and xcancel) has anything that seems to need special GPU features.

It certainly is not a general Linux problem. I also use XFCE as desktop, so if you use Gnome it could be some Gnome component.

Yes, but now we have AI to summarize tweets.
