If anything, it's less cooked this way.

neongrizzly.com (Erik of internet comment etiquette's webstore) has had a gay frog shirt for years, if you're interested.

Having an official infowars one without giving Jones any money might be more appealing though.

Siri was already an iphone/android app before Apple bought it, to be fair.

Some manufacturers in the industry are already standardising on one or two designs since a few years ago.

It's based on whatever population you're testing, IIRC.

I think most of the web wasn't encrypted by default until letsencrypt came on the scene just over a decade ago. (I remember a few "free cert" offerings that were entirely manual, and cost you $200 if you wanted to revoke a cert)

It's firmly the default now, and very odd if a site doesn't default to https.

I wish they'd show up like regular videos in the subscription feed, like they used to a few years ago.

Currently, I have to guess who uploaded a short to decide if I want to watch it.

Back when they still had staffed support, and were called twitter, I'd have to spend a week or more back and forth with them when I inevitably hit the demand for a phone number. Most of the time the account got unlocked.

This was usually a few weeks/months after they were in the news for selling people's phone numbers.

Those are set by the site requesting the login though.

I believe what they are referring to is custom permissions set by the person logging in, regardless of what the app itself requested.

e.g. login, disable all writes, all attempted repo writes using that oauth token fail.

Bluesky DMs aren't end to end encrypted. Where are you getting that impression from?

Scott Manley does a roundup video every two or so weeks called 'deep space updates' that I suggest watching.

The start is all rocket launches, which gives a good idea of how much is happening.

It's strange for formerly lost media to get a whole news story about it. This should, but still strange.

Hope more are found sooner than another 13 years from now.
