True, but that seriously buried the lede. Sorry for the edit.
- nickthegreek 3y agoI like the edit. That dull blog title would get ZERO traction.
- mynameisash 3y agoCaveat that I'm by no means educated about WEI, the actual title feels a bit Orwellian to me. I just wanted to point out the actual title and not an editorialized one (without commenting on whether editorialization is good or bad here).
- rezonant 3y agoIn case this is all new to you: effectively WEI aimed to bring hardware-based remote attestation to the web for the purposes of allowing servers to refuse service when the device and its software was not approved by the authors of the server. Now they just want to do it in WebViews, which is ineffectual at best, and still harmful at worst.
- fsckboy 3y agobut if the title is "Increasing trust for embedded media", where's the intent to back off? The changed title implies everybody can stop worrying.
- endisneigh 3y agoIt’s funny how techies complain about clickbait yet celebrate and engage with… clickbait
- whatshisface 3y agoWe just want the headlines to somehow reflect what we will see if we click on them.
- digging 3y agoI don't think you know what clickbait is, because "accurate description of the main content" is not clickbait.
- endisneigh 3y agoWhy not post the repository instead of editorializing?
- brycewray 3y agoIf dang thinks that’s better, fair enough.
- rhizome 3y ago"WEI" isn't used on the page.

- nickthegreek 3y agoThey used Web Environment Integrity in the post, not the acronym. They did tag it WEI as well.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoThe guidelines are there to guide and mostly folks try to abide. I'd agree this is a case where a useful edit is the better option.
- pvg 3y agoprobably better off picking some language from the article in those cases (the original title is almost certainly worth an edit) which has a higher chance of avoiding explosion of title meta and less likely to be wrong in some minor, title-meta-generating way
