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 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.
Oh great. Now I’m losing hope in this project even more.
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.
Fuck Nostr. Useless protocol used primarily by cryptobros and bots. Literally can’t contribute to the standardized federation protocol ActivityPub but can make one shitty protocol. The same shit as the AT protocol.
Yeah. For riseup VPN, Mullvad VPN exists. They support XMR and even give you a 10% discount because you used XMR.
Arch Linux
Gaming has not been a problem for me yet.
Proton works pretty good and games in Steam are starting to release builds for Linux as well because Steam Deck got popular (thanks Valve?) Minecraft Java also runs natively on Linux.
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.
If that were to happen, the receiving end wouldn’t know who sent which vote, thus making spamming extremely easy.
There’s a reason why software is being made with Rust now. It has the speed of C++ (sometimes faster), has a nice syntax, is memory safe by default, has the best compiler error messages and also the book is very good. I learnt entirely by the book and it’s very good at explaining things.
I do wonder: why not rust? It would have been amazing. A fast language on par with C++ that also is memory safe. But Swift? You gotta be kidding me…
Mull is not made by Mullvad. Mull is made by the dev of DivestOS.
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.
