> ranking is based on favorites/comments rather than a hidden algorithm

But there has to be an algorithm to decide how to rank based on favourites and comments, and I couldn't see that algorithm described anywhere on the site, so I dare say that it's hidden.

Small gripe with the site, it somehow has the "swipe with two fingers sideways to go backward or forward in the browsing history" gesture disabled, which is kinda annoying. (macOS with Firefox)

unkl_on X402, a static blog monetization excercise

I'm curious about the legal implications of this. For example:

- In the EU, a consumer has 14 days to withdraw from a contract that you have concluded online, unless the consumer explicitly waives this right during the purchase (so your payment required page will need an explicit statement about this).

- I'm pretty sure in the EU, and probably most countries, you must receive an invoice, even if it's for a 1 cent purchase.

- You might also have to pay VAT on these transactions, which will need to also be included in the invoice. This is especially important for B2B purchases, because companies can claim back VAT.

- What happens if I complete the purchase, but there is an error in the response returned by the website? I.e. between the events of my purchase being confirmed and the server returning the response, the server dies. What recourse do I have?

BBC News didn't, Greenpeace did.

unkl_on JSON-LD explained for personal websites

I found out some years ago that emails that have the fancy features like plane tickets embedded or tracking information are all done with JSON-LD in the emails.

AFAIK only gmail supports it, though.
