On related note there is exiftool which tries to understand all those different formats

And it has it's own forums with tens of thousands of posts!


You do not sound very genuine. It does not say it is multi-entry fee enywhere. For tourists very few countries ask more except visa fee (and many do not require visa at all). For UK this fee is only 16GBP for 2 years and not 1200 USD:

What happened to wikipedia in 2024?


I live with firefox mobile engine for webview without any issue


GeckoView cannot replace built-in WebView [0].

I have similar story. Recently facebook forced me to enable 2-factor auth but adding SMS did not work for me for a whole week and I just deleted the app. Later I opened facebook from mobile browser and added SMS as 2nd factor and now I have opened Facebook from mobile browser only once in more than a week and I don't miss it much. It was the only "social" network I used besides reddit and hacker news


That's just wrong. Telegram is trusted by both Ukraine and Russia. That tells a lot. Also I am living near Russian border and remember well how Durov left Russia and I am quite sure he is not puppet of Putin...


I always ask people to give example of real world SPAs where JS is "used well" and nobody could give me an example


FastMail is pretty good; that's my go-to example.

However, you don't need to go full SPA. "No JS at all" and "SPA" are not the only options that exist. See my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40541555

Sites like Hacker News, Stack Overflow, old.reddit.com, and many more greatly benefit from JS. I made GoatCounter tons faster with JS as well: rendering 8 charts on the server can be slow. It uses a "hybrid approach" where it renders only the first one on the server, sends the HTML, and then sends the rest later over a websocket. That gives the best of both: fast initial load without too much waiting, and most of the time you don't even notice the rest loads later.


As an example, 80% of third-party content I receive on Facebook is soft Russian propoganda:

Some examples:

* general auto blog which writes about how 80% of details of some cars are now Russian made

* some general English language construction blog tells about how cool is Russian made Crimean bridge

* some English language aviation page showing how advanced some Soviet planes are

* some Italian page showing how dirty is metro in Italy but how clean it is in Saint Petersburg

* some randome culture page shows cool Russian brutalist architecture

There is so much content like this trying to mascerade as non-political but with clear agenda.

There are no methods to report such pages to Facebook moderation


We used .dev before google registered it so we migrated to another paid domain so we don't need to pay huge amount per year to google


To this day this story still blows my mind:

>Register a TLD which is informal standard for development websites and environments (.dev)

>Charge an excessive amount of money for it

>To make sure you ruin everyone's day, put it on a HSTS preload list

>Refuse to elaborate


oh. its worse. the original request for the TLD was only granted because in the application Google specifically mentioned that it should be reserved due to its unofficial use by developers and that if anyone else got it then they might put real domains on it.

You cant make it up.


>Sell your domain business and force your customers to migrate.


... to a provider that doesn't even offer all the same services.


I specifically use some .dev domains because of HSTS. Some of us don't cling to http and I prefer an error rather than transparent fallback to unsafe protocol if I screw up the config.

The first point is valid but that is mostly ICANN's fault, they should have proposed it as reserved instead of selling it.


> informal standard

FAFO, as they say.


Just my person experience, but I got my relatively uncommon name on .dev for $12/yr so I'm pretty happy with that. While the situation worked in my favor, I agree .dev probably should have been the official internal only TLD.
