Basically it’s an illustration of a cuck situation, where the non-cucked people are labelled “Claude code” and “my project”.

It looks like Google is finally working on a way to support third-party browsers being able to install proper APKs for web apps. This is generally something that only Chrome can do currently. There's very little public documentation and it still seems quite early, but there's a new WebAppManager API
