Indie games would be far more of a gamble to buy if Steam wasn't around, and just finding them would be a huge hurdle.

I find it super easy to just make a document, and enter key-val details as attributes.

Just reminds me of this: <https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_th...>

since you can only see a short distance ahead.

I hit that road-block a lot when trying to do mTLS in the browser, that and dropping support for the [KeyGen](https://www.w3docs.com/learn-html/html-keygen-tag.html) tag.

It sounds like the answer was known at the time but there wasn't the resources to solve it ?

At first it's all mystical nonsense that does something, then you start to poke at it and the response changes, then you start adding in extra steps and they do things, you could probably describe it as more of a Eureka! moment.

At some point you "learn variables" and it's hard to imagine being in the shoes of someone who doesn't understand how their code does what it does.

(I've repeated a bit of what you said as well, I'm just trying to clarify by repeating)

If Google decides to delete or block my account, I'd be up a much wider creek with no paddles.

when I go to the green "add chat" icon, I just get a list with my whatsapp contacts (not system contacts) and if I add a phone number I can talk to them directly (and/or add them to the whatsapp contacts instead of system contacts).

  WhatsApp Messenger
  Version 2.24.24.77

I don't have any other Hue products anymore, but the hub still runs for those 4 switches.

I miss that.

Then to add a contact enter their phone number specifically and it works for me.

Large institutions would prefer something they control 100%, email and SMS are only used because they became ubiquitous first.

But some companies use their apps as a secure alternative.

You pay $10/mth, and then that $10 gets split into $1 overhead and $9 allocated to the sites you tip/visit/use during the month.

So you visit 100 sites, each site gets $0.09, you visit 10 sites, each site gets $0.90 and if somehow you only visit 1 site, it gets $9 from you.

So you're not paying hundreds of dollars a month without realising, you don't need to go through payment processing for every site it's just invisible.

It could probably be tracked the same way ads are, so instead of an advertisement the section is removed (or the first ad block in the page is replaced with "thanks for the tip" and the rest are just removed).

So technically you're not paying the site, you're paying for "ad-free browsing" on those sites.

I made a docker container to run it (https://github.com/na4ma4/docker-yark), when I get time I'll do a PR if you're interested so it isn't a separate project.

(I'll also fix it so the host is a command line argument not just changing the binding from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0)
