I have yet to see a compelling argument as to why they shouldn't be able to set whatever prices they want. They are a private company, they do not have a monopoly, and their service is anything but essential.

These web "devs" should know that GET is idempotent and you shouldn't create magic links that work with a GET request.

Also, Bingbot visiting your site does not mean that the link will end up in search results. They probably haven't bothered changing the user agent string for the bot that crawls links in emails.

Completely agree. I bought an AMD GPU like 6 years ago. The software support fucking sucked. The drivers were bad, games weren't optimised for AMD. AMD looks great on paper in benchmarks. As a product, overall, it is bad. That's why people keep buying nvidia. I will gladly pay double for a product that works.

Is there a law saying that Fannie Mae is the only company that can do X? Because that's the case with postnord: only they can handle these plates, by law.

I know I will be crucified for this, but doesn't it seem like a dangerous precedent that a public utility can choose to stop working for certain companies/citizens? I understand striking in a binary way, working or not working, but being a public utility and deciding who you serve depending on whatever criteria, be it politics or whatever, seems like it could get ugly depending on the circumstances. Imagine if physicians or bus drivers did this.

Good tip. Also, if you are depressed, you should just cheer up!
