That’s a problem with your network or phone’s.

99.9% / 0% / 0.1%

Using ASCII in URLs is simple and is less error prone than “supporting” unicode via percent encoding. It is also just a convention to use ASCII for usernames in many platforms. ASCII is also supported out of the box in major OSes while some unicode characters might not. What about impersonation? And what about people trying to type in the username of someone that uses unicode? It is not logical to use unicode in this case.

Because URLs are usually in ASCII. That was a standard. Check RFC 1738 and 3986. Now, you can use percent encoding, but why use that. It just complicates things.

You won’t get non latin usernames anytime soon. But you can change the display name using non latin charactets

I never block anyone or any instance. I simply ignore them. I also use the subscribed feed, so what most of the people say about hexbear, lemmygrad, etc. content filling their feed also does not affect me.

That’s what uBlock Origin planned to do if YouTube ever decided to etch ads into the video stream itself.

I was just given a computer with unrestricted internet access and learnt it that way. Of course, the internet being unrestricted made me visit some questionable and illegal websites. Including CP and some hardcore NSFL using the tor browser. But I don’t regret it (other than the last points).

I said:

I couldn’t care less as long as the language is good.

Why wouldn’t I care if the language is bad in my opinion?

Sure. It is open source, but the development is done by Apple engineers. I also would like to state that Go has trackers in it. I also don’t really care what the creator of a language is. Homophobe, sexist, racist or other similar stuff, I couldn’t care less as long as the language is good.

lol

Oh great. Now I’m losing hope in this project even more.

Looks like a fun community, I’ll join.

No, not at all. They both are made for different purposes.

privatebin is pretty good.

Welp, I haven’t seen anyone learn Swift other than for Apple stuff these days. So I wonder how many can actually contribute to the code. It’s also made by Apple, so yeah. It would have been more performant and secure (both of which are pretty important in a browser) if it was written in a more low level language. For example Rust.

I don’t know. I primarily use Mull on android because it is a hardened version of Firefox. No issues with it so far.

It’s nice and all but usage of Swift is kind of not great.

Long brainstorming sessions on how to implement my next Lemmy bot.

Firefox’s sandboxing sucks ass (especially on Linux). Mozilla has still not implemented a better sandbox, despite the open discussion since years. GrapheneOS (a security and privacy focused aosp rom) uses Chromium for its browser Vanadium because it ultimately is undoubtedly more secure. Google pumps millions into their chrome security team.

So while not that good for privacy, chrome/chromium is better for security.
