Also Google *image* search finds Github issues now and... generates images for them? These images do not appear on the linked issue pages, they are literally autogenerated screenshots of the headers from issue pages.

Someone (unsure if Github or Google) sat down one day and actually wrote code to do this.

Why.

@emily on my phone so i can’t run and check right now, but I’ll bet money this is github generated and marked in the pages’ html head element as the og:image for the issues so link previews will show them

@maya @emily it is yeah; it's what shows up if you paste a github link into e.g. Discord

kind of weird for google to capture that in gimage search though…
