It’s apparently PowerAutomate Adaptive cards.

It’s MS Teams with their PowerAutomate flows from Fabric. The limitation might not exist in the direct rest API, which I could have used through Python; but it’s a hackathon, and my other team mates know PowerAutomate. Faster if we each coordinate using what we’re good with.

Honestly no idea. It’s funny though. The API allows us to either read it directly from our lakehouse with the 28Kb limit, or allows us to encode it in a json object. It actually recommends using the json method if we want to send larger files… but then complains it’s too large if it’s over 28Kb 🤷‍♂️

I think it was probably originally only intended to allow attaching icons.

Literally just today solved a problem of delivering analytics plots over our internal chat system. The file size limit is 28Kb and I was just getting ready to say screw it, can’t be done.

Lo and behold our chat system that doesn’t support svg does support webp. Even visually complicated charts come in just below the size limit with webp.

I think the proliferation of videos as primary information sources is a huge part of how propaganda and disinformation became so effective and powerful. It’s why we’ve done a collective nosedive into regressive politics and can no longer agree on the objective facts regarding… well… anything!

Information delivered by video tends to be trusted on the way it’s delivered rather than the content itself. So we’re thinking less critically about what we choose to believe.

It’s even better in it full context

I wonder if you’ve really never seen this panel in its original context, or if you’re just a troll. My money is on the latter.
