This is not a good idea: having to search means an implicit reliance on a search engine. Even with a trustworthy web search -- and those are becoming fewer and fewer -- why add this complication? The URL doesn't even have to be large; it just has to be readable.

Even worse is when there's an adversary: what would stop someone from buying getcontinuwuity.org but have it be pro-Big Tech propaganda, with tracking cookies galore, and then pay Google or Bing to put it at the top of the web search results?

Whereas in 2026, a URL is not confusing at all to include. People know what http:// or https:// mean. Even big brands might not own their own product name's domain. This exact problem came up just six days ago: https://www.neowin.net/news/paintnet-can-finally-be-downloaded-from-the-right-place/

The whole point of marketing is to reduce the barriers for people to find something useful or valuable. Adding an accessibility barrier is antithetical to that objective.

Or just post the link.

I know you are in good faith (and I already run my continuwuity server!), but in ppractical terms you are suggesting to use Google, and I don't want to. Expecially for something you could have included in text in the post.

edit: I am reminded of Richard Stallman spelling out full URLs during conferences, complete with subdirectories. It is silly, but it works.
