            Links on Lemmy are messed up, and both apps and the UI are offering links in a “technically correct”, but “practically weird” way.

            In this case: a user on lemmy.tf, created a post, and submitted it to [email protected].

            The weirdness starts, when you realize the canonical source for the post, is lemmy.tf, while @[email protected] is just a beehaw.org user who boosts it, beehaw.org caches the post, and marks @[email protected] as a “special user” that makes the post show in a “community” called [email protected], even back on lemmy.tf.

            Now, where should an application/UI link to?

            According to Mastodon rules, the canonical source (on lemmy.tf) should be the reasonable place to link, then when pasted into your instance you could see that it got boosted by @[email protected].

            According to Lemmy rules, the post “got submitted to [email protected]”, so it could make sense to link to the cached copy on beehaw.org… but that’s just a boosted cached copy, multiple instance users/communities could boost the same canonical post from lemmy.tf.

            Although, each boost links back to the original post, so it could make sense to just link to the canonical post, and have each instance check whether any of its communities has boosted it and redirect you there… the only problem is that the canonical post is referred to by its web url, so if you paste it directly in a browser, it will take you to the instance where it was written.

            I think it’s a different post linking a different article about the same story

    The companies announced the cash-and-stock deal in September 2022, seeking a path with Figma’s web-based, multi-player capabilities to accelerate the delivery of Adobe’s creative cloud technologies on the web.

    Biotech giant Illumina on Sunday said that it will undo its $7.1 billion purchase of the cancer-screening company Grail after losing legal battles with antitrust enforcers in the U.S. and Europe.

    Late last month, European regulators said that Amazon’s proposed acquisition of robot vacuum maker iRobot may harm competition.

    In October, Microsoft completed its purchase of video game-maker Activision Blizzard for $69 billion after a bruising fight with antitrust regulators in Europe and the U.S.

    Adobe, based in San Jose, California, sells software for creating, publishing and promoting content, and managing documents.

    David Wadhwani, president, Digital Media Business, at Adobe, said in prepared statement that the software company will continue to look for ways to partner with Figma in the future.
