I’m all for companies to not ignore their responsibility for data management, but I’m concerned that type of punishment could be used as a weapon against competitors. I can imagine that certain classes of useful companies would just not be able to exist. Tricky balance to make companies actually care without crippling insurance.
I'm not into conspiracy theories, but I was told the guide bars on every code (each end, plus middle) is the code for digit 6, so 666 on every one. Something about the mark of the beast on every person. People can find something coincidental when they want I suppose.
A feature of a Sqid library I've used is that it can pad the value out to a minimum set of characters, so even an internal id of 1 can look substantial.
One thing I greatly appreciate on Android is when selecting text of an actual email address (i.e. with long press), it automatically expands to capture the whole email address and gives me relevant email options straight away. On iOS you have to manually move the left and right pins which is its own little mini-game experience.
The fact that you can't use this extension (amongst many others) with Safari - therefore Safari on MacOS and iOS/iPadOS cannot benefit from this type of sharing. Walled garden strikes again.
I'm not saying that Safari is a bad browser, but artificial limitations imposed by Apple on the browser and the OS is quite frustrating for me.
