@adi Dude! Stop putting bangs ! on the end of your URL(s) 😂 You frequently do this and ruin many URLs you link to (_I'm sure not on purpose_) 🤣 -- Remember that many characters are actually valid in URL(s) 😅

@prologic I wonder if it's a good idea to assume that punctuation marks at the end of the url are not part of the url, they're more commonly punctuation marks?

@adi No! That's not a good idea at all, that is in direction violation of the Uniform Resource Identifier standard.

I personally would violate it in this case.
@adi No mate this is not my opinion at all. If you can't agree to standards and follow them, then what hope do we have in this industry. Seriously mate, follow the standards and if you actually intend to construct URIs with a ! in them, that's fine, just understand that is a totally valid URI.

@prologic I, most of the time follow and agree with the standards and understand their value but there are exceptions when I believe it's not the end of the world to violate them for various reasons, like in this case. But it's my opinion, I'm not trying to convince you.
@adi Just as long as you don't expect me to break the standards in yarnd's codebase I'm fine with your choice/preference 😅 Try not to do it too often eh? I mean clicking on broken links is kind of annoying at best 😂

And I know you don't "expect" anything from me, so that's cool too 😂 But also if you "prefer" yarnd did something about these broken links, I will not 😂

@adi that hedgedoc is really cool.
@david Do you always link that?
FWIW "English" is not a "standard" It is a spoken and written language.

@prologic So you'd rather respect the URI standard rather than English punctuation?
@prologic No it's not a "standard" but it does have rules.
@adi that hedgehog is really cool.
