wow what an amazing story

one thing that gets me is this should be one of the most basic tasks between two machines and it has been increasingly, systematically abstracted from us, to control what channels it goes through, if it even goes through at all. so kudos to this app but this should be easy at an OS level and it isn't, by design. likely for the same reason airdrop is not a thing in china

carefully crafted stated intent

hear hear

i only code in this when no ones around. one might say I...han solo

maybe its being done by the people lobbying for the OS-based ID malarkey, so they can have something to point at and jump up and down

by "say stupid things," you of course mean "tell bald-faced lies"

big hint: how many computer-literate people do you know that would put their whole-ass name as their HN handle, in 2026? none i'd professionally associate with, thats for sure

the old "it's all the same shit" fallacy that i loathe so dearly

halkias is that you? :P

i mean, to be fair, indirectly trusting people to do the right thing by doing things via "honor system" was never possible in an industry that runs on distrust.

that being said, people using AI to scam all the things is getting super old

well put

"sugar rush of saturated colors" is a great way to put it
