As a general rule, I will never click a link unless it clearly states where it's taking me. Except I needed to see what the error meant, so I clicked open on it. Yay interstitial ads! ๐Ÿ˜

I'm trying to figure out why ๐Ÿ˜• it adds a third party dependency and isn't really any easier to copy (e.g. by hand) than a more human-readable url. What are they saving 15 bytes of text or something?

BTW, with bitly at least, you can add a + to the end and you can see the destination before you choose to visit.

Wtf? I hope my commandline version of PlatformIO doesn't do annoying things like that.

It's the VSCode IDE that does it, it seems.

Ugh..

[โ€“] sramder@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

Soโ€ฆ who owns bit.ly at this point? ;-)

If a for-profit org gives something out for free, even if its OSS, you are likely contributing to their profits in different ways.

That's not wrong, but in this case, PlatformIO isn't showing these ads, bit [dot] ly is. AFAIK, only bitly gets the ad money.

Neither of your screenshots is showing ads?

[โ€“] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Guess they'd have to click on it first.

[โ€“] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 5 points 13 hours ago

bit(dot)ly is just a link shortener; my guess is that the promised documentation is indeed behind it.

But - and I'm just spitballing here - by going through a third party, they can collect precious user data for which they probably have a contract with MS, which brings me back to my original comment.
