Oh wait it gets better!
Now I am getting spam from LOT Polish Airlines to the e-mail address that contains the "+"! 👀
Even though that booking process crapped out. Because of the e-mail address containing "+". 🤣
Good job, LOT.

Today more time has passed since the Mastodon Won't Survive piece got published than there is left until the AI bubble pops.

If you're worried about Delta Chat being e-mail based and using OpenPGP, you should probably read this:

I blogged about that last year:

To his credit, Lance Ulanoff admitted then he was wrong about fedi:

Happy ninth Mastodon Won't Survive Day to all who celebrate!

LOT Polish Airlines website not only cannot deal with a "+" in an e-mail address – which, in case you're not aware, is a perfectly valid character in an e-mail address – but it also just craps out at the almost last step of booking, three screens after the e-mail address is provided.
Instead of you know, catching that when the address is provided.
Great website engineering there, LOT! Not being able to correctly handle a set of standards that had been in use for over half a century. 👀
#Signal seems to have been down for a bit today, so this is a good moment to consider if you have backup comms channels with people you care about.
A Signal Contingency Plan, if you will:

I agree with the recommendation there and am working on making Delta Chat @delta that kind of backup channel for me and mine.
