Do we need human-readable names in an age in which no one knows any website address anymore, everybody just types whatever crap they want on Google and clicks on the first result? People don't even know how to type "google.com". If their browser doesn't have Google hardcoded as the search engine they simply starve and die.

Worst part is that you can buy your place as the top search result :/
Hilarious.😂
Address bar auto-complete achieves what politics and religion never fully could.
You think it's a good thing.
Speak for yourself! I read web pages by telnetting to port 80.
Good times when the web hadn't been captured by the certificate vendors.
This is my argument for why the metaverse may actually happen. It’s quite possible websites will seize to exist when enough of the processes are automated and talk to each other without our input. Augmented or simulated reality might be the next UI/UX.
I can’t be the only one who think it’s so dumb to look at screens all day long …
I know some
😆
Would be cool to have a self-hosted voice-controlled AI which goes to any sites for you.
Marketing has a deep depth in the collective consciousness. Google makes it easy, and the easier it is for people, the better.🫤
Yeah. We do.
Some of us prefer to type addresses sometimes because it's faster. E.g "mail.google.com" as opposed to searching "Gmail" and clicking the first result (which might be a stupid ad).
Also, search interfaces can and do censor stuff. While they're handy, they shouldn't be the only way to access things
Thank you for this serious answer. I agree.
I can remember any number 10 digits or less, and IP addresses, after hearing them twice, but I can't remember my neighbors' wife's name. And I sometimes forget my nieces' and nephews' names.
WTF is up with that? Their parents should have assigned them SHAs like I asked smh
That’s what the human readable part (HRP) of a bech32 address is for!
I appreciate clean web addresses. You don't find them often, but I appreciate it when I see one.
1. Yes… for instant recognition
2. Your name is your personal brand
3. We are not barcodes
4. Who the hell uses Google (SE tech to produce relevant results is old and open source)
