defraudbah commented on What about using rel="share-url" to expose sharing intents? shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/08/... · Posted by u/edent
The article is proposing a technical solution to a business problem.
I have no doubt this proposal or any other similar proposal would work well in the 90s or early 2000s. Let's go one step further and let browsers work with all those third party website and figure all the details for sharing, and websites never embed anything.
But you see, that's not the problem. These share buttons are often trojans on websites. Facebook tracks you via those share buttons even if you have never had a Facebook account. And people come up with various solutions to tackle that -- adblockers just block network traffic, while a small amount of website owners create a separate switch which you can toggle and then share with Facebook. Isn't all of that stupid? I don't see why Facebook, Instagram will be eager to opt in to this solution and make the experience good.
exactly my thought, links work fine as they are, my biggest problem with them is 9 times of 10 I don't know where they lead. Fixing one "share" use case isn't solving a misuse

the first time I got a bonus that big, $240k, I thought it would be life changing. the gov took $100k in taxes. I paid off my car $20k. then when I really thought about it there wasn’t much I could do.
It was not a down payment on a house in LA/SF/NYC. it was not enough to start a company and hire people. If I’d changed my life style to be like a college student and live with roommates then it might have given me 2-3 years of student lifestyle but I was 34 and not prepared to go back to student lifestyle
To be honest it was super disappointing. Of course getting a $240k bonus is a privilege. My only point was it didn’t change my life like I thought it would.
And, that was 25 years ago. today, even a million ($600k after taxes) in those 3 cities won’t likely change your life. Maybe you could put a down payment on a house or pay for your kids college tho but it not the freedom I thought it would be
why comments about taxes get gray here? is it bad behavior in US to discuss taxes?

I wonder how much the black market would pay for an exploit like that - anyone know?
not 250k for sure :)
Google security team is really good, however sometimes things are controversial because certain bugs gets ignored in MS-way which is famous for not paying/not fixing.
i love how the guys are pretending to be listening everyone's speach for the first time, like they don't know how it works.. marketing is weird

Deployment these days is essentially git pull && composer update
Of course not if you use vm or serverless or whatever like this, but for a basic here is my crude app, that's what you do.
Or if you want to go old school sure, just scp that directory, it still works like it did 30 years ago.
awesome, thank you
