Show HN: Start a Text with 'Like "'

1 noduerme 1 9/9/2025, 4:28:21 AM

This is such a ridiculous hack. A friend with an iphone sent a text to my Android reading:

Like: "I'm thinking of a number"

Google's Messages app interpreted this as:

to "I'm thinking of a number"

I was like, who are you responding to?!

It took a minute of total miscommunication to realize that Messages must be just using the first six characters to decide if something is a "like" command

I think we have to acknowledge that the entire way npm rebuilds supply chains is broken.

There needs to be an approval process showing that if you update this dependency, these other things that depend on it will also be affected.
