  I’m trying to figure out why 😕 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 chose you visit.

    This is good to know, but bit . ly already got your precious data at that point.

    Browsers can also be configured to do this by default - or possibly only for bit . ly with some addon.

  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.

      So… 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.
