I switched to a free iOS indie game called "Word/off". It's a two-player Wordle clone where you choose a word for your friends to solve. I find stumping my friends or guessing their words more fun than solving the same Wordle word as every other NYT reader.

Unfortunately, the App Store says the game is not currently available in my country (the US). In the meantime, there is a web version of the game:

Thanks, but it looks like the web version doesn't let you do anything unless you sign in with Google or Facebook.

Matchmaking service for swapping unused domains with other side project hobbyists.

lol, that might actually work!

Google’s own services generate goo.gl short URLs (Google Maps generates https://maps.app.goo.gl/ URLs for sharing links to map locations), so I assume this shutdown only affects user-generated short URLs. Google’s original announcement doesn’t say as such, but it is carefully worded to specify that short URLs of the “https://goo.gl/* format” will be shut down.

Google’s probably trying to stop goo.gl URLs from being used for phishing, but doesn’t want to admit that publicly.

This actually makes the most logical sense to me, thank you for the idea. I don't agree with the way they're doing it of course but this probably is risk mitigation for them.

That could be an explanation but even so, they could continue to serve the redirects on some other domain so that at the very least people can just change goo.gl to something else and still access whatever the link was to.

Mozilla shipped an easier-to-use profile manager in Firefox 138. Here are instructions for enabling it:

True. Firefox's reader view is a one-click button in the address bar, whereas Chrome's is buried in the application menu > More tools > Reading mode. And even then, Chrome only shows the reader view in a narrow sidebar, leaving the messy page open.

AInterns?

And not Arial!

Has a "Daring Fireball" vibe to it somehow.-

The reader view and translation buttons aren’t shown on all pages, just pages for which they are relevant.

I've tried German and French pages, languages for which translation is supported, but haven't seen the translate icon in the toolbar. I had to go through the menu each time.

“be” was a reserved keyword in early Rust, intended to be used in place of “return” (or “ret”, as it was spelled at the time) for tail calls.

And most of Chromium uses the BSD license, so OpenAI won't need to open source their magic sauce.
