I did similar several years ago with the .services TLD. Lo-and-behold, I bought the .com not long afterwards!

I think this is one of the few things as late that makes me feel genuinely proud to be British, because, beneath the hostility that feels so rife across our country recently, we’ve so many good people making things like this happen. Bravo.

This is a really fascinating idea… Just another one for the list of side-projects I’d like to get around to but never will!

The same day that OnlyOffice ended its 8-year partnership with Nextcloud, no less.

Indeed. I can’t see why Copilot would promote an unrelated third-party service…

I’ve been using a Clicks case since the early days and have personally loved every second of it but it’s definitely an acquired taste. Let us know how you find it.

It’s definitely an option in the UK, as I’ve just used it, though it’s not particularly prominent.

If you choose the option to verify with a credit card and scroll down the form, there’s an option to verify another way, which allows you to use your driving license.

> If a user is signed in with a personal Apple Account and Managed Apple Account, Sign in with Apple automatically uses the Managed Apple Account for managed apps and the personal Apple Account for unmanaged apps.
