There is a metadata protocol called opengraph, it’s how apps get the information to display a rich preview. Basically the app takes the link as it’s written in the SMS message or Twitter thread and then it tries to fetch that page and then read the open graph metadata from inside. That should give it enough to show a title description and a background image, considering the web developers implemented opengraph.

If Google is planning to use their own servers basically as a proxy then all this means is that the opengraph rich metadata is going to be a little more stale than if the app just fetch the page and generated the rich metadata itself

Exactly that, if I change a pixel then the cryptographic signature breaks

The NFTs tried to solve this problem already and it didn’t work. You can change the hash/sig of a video file by just changing one pixel on one frame, meaning you just tricked the computer, not the people who use it.

Why are these apps being distributed on app stores

Why are these apps not PWAs with an app store deployment wrapper???

It’s mostly due to Paul, most Christians are mostly following what Paul wrote. Churches that don’t follow Paul, like messianics, are wildly different.

I’ve met messianic Christians who to me felt Jewish like me but with the Jesus talk.

I almost feel like the compromise we will eventually land on is that if an OS maker like Microsoft wants to continue advertising on your OS they have to take some liability for its security.

I feel like literally everybody knew it was a bubble when it started expanding and everyone just kept pumping into it.

How many tech bubbles do we have to go through before we leave our lesson?

Oh my gawd what a README!! I’m on my phone and I was trying to scroll back to the top of it from the bottom and I just kept on scrolling… Holy shit I’m going to put this on my kanban board give it proper attention

So we’re not in the Elon Tusk dimension we’re in the Donald Tusk reality got it

Realistically speaking it feels like this is the one thing AI won’t be able to replace. Celebrities are already fake enough as it is, imagine an AI generated celebrity LARPing as a real person that no one ever sees outside

I feel like you’re not the first person to invent wifi water but I’m sure they had to add something to the building codes because of what the first person did.

Having to manage pipes is a very 1880s thing we still have to do in 2025.

Love to see the flake.nix at the root of the project

Can I ask who even clicks on these Google ads? Who is making Google ads valuable by interacting with them?

Makes it easier to distribute and set up
