Yep (and I had the same reaction).

I used to use Privacy.com and Mint until I did some looking into Plaid. They present a login screen that looks like your bank and you assume they're doing some kind of OAuth. Nope they're just taking your full banking credentials and you have to hope they're safe. I think Plaid is a ticking time bomb. When it gets hacked a lot of people will be in trouble.

Nothing pulls its iMessage app from the Play Store following privacy disaster
(www.androidpolice.com)
Hangouts was peak Google messaging. It was iMessage before iMessage. I don't know if it necessarily came first, but all my friends who have iPhones and use iMessage now used to use Hangouts on Android. I think Google has a huge opportunity to be the popular brand and lost it.

Is there a de facto or generally recognized "best" Invidious instance? Like piped.video is for Piped?
No way, is this real? Seems like it would be a huge news story. Has Google ever had a specific search filter for a third-party website?
I think if they were using a private IP, there wouldn't really be a joke. Of course the router can resolve an IP in its network. The joke is that they're using their public IP from inside their network, and when the request gets the router, instead of resolving externally, it resolves to the public IP of the router itself.
If the router supports hairpinning, the IP request can be resolved locally.
The domain name lookup would be a different issue and could potentially need to be resolved externally, but the router's DNS cache should be able to answer eventually.
Because the title mentions having a domain, I guess.
By any chance do you use SwiftKey? I can string together multiple misspelled words and it almost always figures me out.
