There’s also Dart with its similar syntax to JS, strong type and null safety, and ahead of time compilation with hot reload. And yet it only really started getting adoption after being chosen as the language for Flutter.

I looked for one a while ago and didn’t find one. Luckily the web apps available are really good. Tesseract is one that works well with a mouse and a wide screen.

I don’t have an answer for that. I’m on the outside looking in.

Mr Tim Apple is a complicated figure.

Not a lot of options for iOS. There’s Tor browser and Brave that I know of. Brave is surprisingly good, but I don’t do a lot of serious navigation in the phone, and tend to favor private mode so the tracking gets deleted once I close the tab.

It’s a drop in replacement. It’s pre hardened so you may want to relax the settings a bit to get some comfort (at the expense of privacy). But otherwise you’ll feel right at home.

I don’t want Mozilla to be handling my personal data in any way. Anonymized usage statistics? I could be convinced to relinquish that. But that’s it.

The field to add your social media handles has been on the DS-160 for at least a decade. It was optional until something like five years ago. The DS-160 is the visitor visa request form. So I guess Trump already made that change in his previous mandate.

This looks interesting, but it would work so much better as a written article to me.

Can they answer “not no”?

I don’t know if it was you, but thanks for the initiative.
