Update: this userscript is now obsolete as my PR with a fix has been merged and deployed. There is no longer a need to use it.

Old description:

Bluesky assumes that devices reporting they support multi-touch are mobile devices. This means it hides the volume slider on videos, hides hover cards, and inserts a new line on pressing enter when writing DMs instead of sending them. However, checking for multi-touch also matches other devices like laptops/computers with a touch screen, multi-touch trackpad or a drawing tablet attached.

This temporary userscript overrides navigator.maxTouchPoints to be 0 to work around this incorrect touch device detection.

Will be obsolete once https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app/pull/5919 (or something better) gets merged.
