These fuckers disabled car mode in the android app to make you buy one of those and now they’re killing it. I used car mode in my car and the moment it stopped working was when I cancelled my subscription.

I thought that they only show unicode chars if they are used in one of the installed languages of the browser and if not they show the punycode instead 🤔

I don’t know if it makes you feel better but Tom Scott had a similar experience: https://youtu.be/X6NJkWbM1xk
