Google does this for its search results. Hovering the cursor over it shows the actual URL of the result, but whenever it detects an onclick event it replaces it by its own tracking URL. Super annoying when trying to copy an URL - luckily you can easily get rid of it through user.js.

I very recently transferred a few domains to Gandi, and they also managed to lose one. I had to contact their customer support and they were able to restore it - it was all very strange. Combined with this incident and their responses on social media I'm getting the feeling that I should move them elsewhere again...

Manyverse for iOS 7 years ago

It's nice to see how Manyverse (and the Scuttlebutt protocol in general) are progressing. I was happily surprised at the ease of use when I first tried Manyverse, and it's easy to introduce friends to it with a polished app like this. Fantastic work!

It's a shame how the Pay-to-IP functionality went nowhere (despite the rather insecure implementation back then). If one could pay to a DNS record it would allow for human-friendlier addresses without encouraging address reuse.

Canonical tried something similar with Ubuntu Touch, which was, sadly, killed off due to low market interest. With ever more capable phone hardware I'm quite surprised we aren't seeing more progress in OS convergence.
