it very likely won't be a great match, but now you can get icons whenever you want
Apple rant: handheld computers edition
Did you know Safari on iPhone won't load a page over HTTP if even 1 subdomain of that site is HTTPS?
It gets better!
1. Instead of showing a message, it loads a completely different page & shows that to the user, leaving the user baffled.
2. It hits all the proper URLs anyway, making a liar out of the user to the website operators.
I'd have blamed the user, too, if I didn't watch it live from both ends.

Me: if I could be a furry I'd be a feral! The reality of my choice: (by Wereshiba)
Oh, but I would still choose it regardless. I'd just have to get people to do things for me :P

The Editor war is stupid. Edit your text files with the text editor that's right for *you,* and don't worry about the editor anyone else uses.
More importantly, Google is more uselessly irrelevant as a search engine with each passing day. It will never be as useful or relevant as it was 20 years ago.
Consider searching with alternatives, such as DuckDuckGo.com. It's also one of the defaults available in every browser but Edge.
PSA for my cis followers:
"Transwoman" and "Biological woman" are transphobe dog whistles. They're meant to try to indicate that trans women are not women.
Just remember: you don't say someone is a tallwoman or a blondewoman, she's a tall woman or a blonde woman.
And unless you're talking about a fembot, all women are biological women.
