A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

@schizanon@beehaw.org weird how hashtags created in #lemmy posts aren't linked ^
Interestingly, for me they link to Mastodon. Heh.
While I haven't read through the spec to see how they deal with this, my immediate thought upon seeing the JS snippets is how spam sites might use it. Similar to a MFA fatigue attack, it seems plausible to me you may use this API to get your spam shared by shoving the share menu on people's faces repeatedly.
Nah, the share api just pops up the OS share dialog, if the user didn't want that they can just close it, if they click a share target then when the share target usually asks for another confirmation click. It's not likely the user will click three times accidentally.
