..by launching missiles at each other just last year?

Time to cash in?

Apparently they deleted the Github Actions account as it shows up as ghost in PR comments.

But you can change the commit date from cli when committing? Github just shows the commit metadata, right?

If you're referring to Google Safe Browsing lists, all major browsers check agains the same list. I've managed to get mine listed there and immediately banned on all major browsers.

Aren't most Show HN's plugs to whatever they're presenting?

I didn't know you could SEND mail with Hide My Email feature, but apparently this is a feature directly in the Mail app. Tapping the From in the mail compose screen opens a dropdown of possible addresses to use or create a new one with Hide My Email.

And then lose access after graduating. Great idea!

IMO there isn't a cookie nightmare but rather a tracking nightmare. I'm not fully up-to-date on if there is a separate EU directive on cookies on the internet specifically, but the GDPR is the _General_ Data Protection Regulation. Meaning that if I go and collect your info on pen and paper, I must then ask your permission on how I process and share that data, especially if sharing that data is not necessary to complete the main transaction but is somehow done auxiliary to the main purpose. (e.g. I buy a pillow online, my info is used to target ads for me.)

GDPR itself doesn't require consent for functional cookies. For example, Apple.com does not have a cookie consent box _at all_.

On tracking specifically, I feel there are at least two levels. One that happens in-browser by third party companies. These are your classic advertisements. The other is more first-party backend-heavy. These would be your local grocery store using your purchase history linked to your membership card and using that data to create analytics and targeted ads etc.

So creating a browser setting would likely not toggle all tracking away, just the ones that are "annoying" while browsing.

"According to Wikipedia..." aargh Wikipedia is not the source!

If I wanted to achieve the same result, that is to serve assets of others from my own domain, I'd just create a custom endpoint like /api/user-avatar/:userId and an action proxies the actual image from google, maybe keep a cached copy for some time to not have to redownload the image on every request.
