I guess I will have to migrate to Deno Deploy to something else as they messed up the migration from their old platform to the new one so badly that I can't access the new platform, I can't access the old platform, and I can't even open tickets there. I wonder if they slop coded it!

Not a huge issue, I chose Deno exactly because it's easy to switch off their platform. On the other hand, my coworker wanted to use Firebase.

Ah, the riveting saga of 'JavaScript and cookies'—truly the pinnacle of judicial #drama 🍪🔐. Because nothing screams "legal expertise" like your #browser #settings. 🙄 Maybe next time we'll need to update Flash to read the verdict. 😂
