Blogger is annoying #ui

🕑︎ - 2014-06-22

Blogger has this really annoying idea of changing the top level domain to "blogspot.dk" of blogs in their system I visit, because I am in Denmark.

Very clever, Blogger!

Except every time it does that, the result is that I think: "That is odd, why does this [insert any nationality but Danish here] blogger have a Danish domain?" "Oh, it's just bloody Blogger being bloody stupid again."

¹ Such as Thunderbird, Pan, slrn, tin or Gnus (part of Emacs).

Or, you can fill in this form:
