And yet stuff.co.nz can't even be bothered fixing unfurled links

Stuff


sophie malice (@sophieactual.mitsuko.nz):

emailed them months ago to suggest it should be fixed

crickets


Rob (@robdickinson.bsky.social):

Tell them we can't see their heartwarming stories all about how young people are buying houses with only their ingenuity and a massive gift from papa


Nic Wise (@fastchicken.co.nz):

TBH I've kinda stopped reading them anyway…. But I doubt I'm normal on that aspect


sophie malice (@sophieactual.mitsuko.nz):

samesies, it just irritates me when someone posts a link and i can't see the headline so that i can then not click on it


Rob (@robdickinson.bsky.social):

I try screenshoting the story and posting that but don't always remember


sophie malice (@sophieactual.mitsuko.nz):

yup, but then i have to delete the EXIF data and write alt text for the image too, it's a pain in the butt


Rob (@robdickinson.bsky.social):

OK so the answer is no, bsky wipes the exif info


Rob (@robdickinson.bsky.social):

Wait I need to 100% verify thats true..

Rob (@robdickinson.bsky.social):

OK yes it seems to strip it all


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

This is good to know. Also - very calming.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Sorry that's really unkind of me. I just have a really specific anxiety about EXIF data stripping on uploaded content to social media


sophie malice (@sophieactual.mitsuko.nz):

as in it should be removed or should be left intact?


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

UCHISPs should be stripping EXIF in order to defeat a vector of steganographic conveyance, to protect user privacy, and mitigate against potential buffer overflow attacks.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

(Both on the UCHISP's servers & on the other enduser's devices)
