To me potato.app is as sketchy and shitty as getpotato.com. They simply say "I wanted to buy potato.com but I couldn't"

Yeah, well. That's got nothing to do with .dev. All the new TLDs are fucking dumb. Just a cash grab for the ICANN. Might as well get rid of TLDs altogether.

It would be creepy if they did that in a private conversation. In a public, easily searchable medium like Twitter, no.

Downloaded it. Whooping 150 MB that took over two minutes to download. Then data took like 10 minutes to show up, with no clear sign that the app was bootstrapping and not merely non-functional.

The app keeps using 100% of my IO for 20 minutes now, writing to files like "KVStore.kv" and "searchindex/store". If I had an SSD I would close it, afraid of it frying the disk.

It works fine. Just because some people can't stop themselves from committing crimes, that doesn't mean the general public doesn't respect deterrents.

There are so many things I wouldn't do because I know I'd get in trouble.

Or the Talos god from Elder Scrolls lore.

Nickserv identify can be encrypted from your client to the services server if the network supports it. (SSL between you and all servers)

No channel history, no threads, and no images are features.

There's formatting: bold/italic/underline and colours.

I disagree. People who care about not hitting 8.8.8.8 simply do not own a Chromecast.

How is it legal for them both to do it at the same time?

It doesn't bother me because it's a Chromecast, an appliance I don't want or need. If I needed something similar, I could get it from other manufacturers.

Yes I know. I've had it happen to me with a Huawei HG556a. You could disable it with admin access... which the ISP would not give you. Fun times.

A good way of bypassing this would be to simply have Google run their DNS server in a port other than 53. But I don't believe you can set a different port in /etc/resolv.conf
