I caught a glimpse of an interesting thing by chance.
[Meta Platforms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Platforms)
{{< abbr aka "also known as" >}} Facebook hid the `x` from their login prompt on
public pages--including government pages, then brought it back. 'Twas on the
desktop before mobile and perhaps (who knows) for a subset (as a test). A "login
only public page" is for a near--distant future, set. Seriously though;
[developer documentation](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/) will become my
final excuse to visit Facebook.
