GrapheneOS’ camera app has a qr code reader baked in

who’s a good FOSS developer? you are!

this could be gamed though - mention 99 users, switch accounts, rinse and repeat

interesting project, thx for sharing! though:

There is not currently a way to differentiate between web crawlers that are indexing sites for search purposes, vs crawlers that are training AI models. ANY SITE THIS SOFTWARE IS APPLIED TO WILL LIKELY DISAPPEAR FROM ALL SEARCH RESULTS.

it’s a niche market, like not enough people wanting to buy a compact sub-5" flagship phone, so i’ll never get one. let people enjoy it :)

it’s similar with amazon/booking - if you use their share button, you get a neater shortened url but tracking is baked in. but you can still just copy the url from the browser search bar instead (which, acknowledged, might particularly not work well for IG)

relevant xkdc when they bring back pasting

i first read “nutshell” and now i think they’ve missed an opportunity there 😅

OSM could be a great replacement for GMaps
