How is that Google's fault?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Cuz Google somehow or another managed to get .zip passed as a top level domain.

attachment.zip

^ That's not even written out as a markdown link, that's literally just the letters I typed.

See, clearly Google is getting a bit careless about their top level domains. Lemme try a thing...

google.bs

^ If this shows up as a link, please don't click. Or at least proceed with caution.

Probably just depends on how websites or apps handle it? I'm using Liftoff and that's not a link for me

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Strangely, I've discovered that for whatever reason, Liftoff isn't working right (as per current standards).

Hmm interesting, it probably just needs to be updated

Does show up as a link for me. Using Jerboa for Android.
