@ObbeVermeij Vehicle model loading always was the top crash on Windows when we made SA-MP. 20ish models was fine, 35ish after manual RwObject management, which we eventually pushed to ~50 with more memory relocations and VehicleStruct hackery. Huge FPS penalty at that point anyway :)

@tabatkins My brain is convinced that "notification" is a typo. Funny how that happens!

@ElliottZ @b1tr0t ...websites serve dynamic manifests or resources (e.g. bad CDNs), or aren't world-reachable (e.g. intranet), meaning we can't globally attest authenticity. (2/2)

@ElliottZ @b1tr0t It's conceptually similar to Android App Bundles: rather than every APK containing resources for every screen resolution, we only package the ones a particular device needs to reduce the transfer size even more. Secondly a non-trivial number of... (1/2)

@ElliottZ @jaffathecake Yup. I don't disagree, however, it's one of those cases where we dug a technical hole eight years ago that we need to crawl out of. That takes time, & we've too long let perfect stand in the way of good.

@jaffathecake @ElliottZ Heh, I actually just read your other tweets - let me rephrase by saying that it'll integrate with Chrome rather than Android 😛

@jaffathecake @ElliottZ We're planning to start rolling out a solution for this around June, building on Chrome Sync. Won't feel as seamless as Android just yet, but addresses the functional gap.

@Mustafa_x @alexey_rodionov @PeterEConn Yeah, on the sixth day. Can you believe it? Just a day after he created Windows and Linux, and two days after he invented the Internet. That was before lunch, of course, because he got annoyed with all the wires on his desk so dreamt up WiFi during his afternoon nap.

We're considering dropping the manifest requirement for Mobile Web Installability as well, if the user experiences proves to be good enough, which would allow users to install any website they like! 🙂

@alexey_rodionov We already infer name and icon for add to homescreen shortcuts. Description and screenshot wouldn't apply—we only use those in Rich Install UI, which would continue to be reserved for optimised, high quality experiences.

@JonasKuske @slightlylate @jungkees We've explored a lot of different options with the Android team, most, while promising on the surface, end up making the heuristics completely ineffective. New metrics are coming late this year that may suggest a path forward, but otherwise this isn't a priority I'm afraid.
