I'm sure you are - but is it one of the allowed exceptions? Daniel is (mostly) right here.

(I went from Github to Codeberg but for the really private stuff I wouldn't put it in the cloud anyway so I run my own Gitness too)

Updated #Sailfish to 5.0 on my #Xperia 10ii. Seems to work and now microG also. However the #Jeep app still doesn’t log in. It doesn’t crash anymore but then just states login error after giving credentials. The network is a bit iffy so will need to investigate further. Also #AuroraStore got an update but after hitting update it closes down on start.

Actual native things so far work, but I haven’t yet done broader testing. Still a nice environment.

So it turns out the geniuses over at Bluesky trust the client app to fetch, and honestly report, webpage metadata for preview cards, so with a little tinkering in the debug tools you can post whatever news stories you like and they look exactly the same as real ones.

Let's see what happens if I spoof the article metadata from the backend... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/69420
