@nekohayo i’ll make a little video explaining, at some point. the usage pattern this replaces isn’t very-tech-guy-stores-bookmarks so much as highly ephemeral thoughts and saves. “click to save” => instantly forget the usage pattern for this is what i used to do with gmail (email myself a scan or a pdf or a url, with free-form metadata/tags) and what many people now do with signal, telegram, and whatsapp “saved messages” or “notes to self”. a timeline is inherently immutable. if you want a different url, save a new thing. if you want organization, this isn’t for you - the only verbs are “save” and “tag”. i’ve never once needed to delete a bookmark or personal pdf for compliance. and back when i used gmail for this, it wasn’t really possible.

@nekohayo gitlab isn’t the first offender for breaking urls but it’s the first time i’ve seen this en masse across all routes. “all issue urls are broken now” is an insane thing to do to your product.

@nekohayo deleting for storage management is very 80s at the best of times and definitely the case for urls. i can’t think of a device i own that would suffer from the storage used by urls i save. images are an issue, but there can be some heuristics and simple rules there. “immutable” isn’t meant to appeal to anyone. it’s not a feature. it’s an implementation detail.
