Came here to say this. I've no idea what the app does, I presume that is because I'm old.

And that doesn't matter. It's cool to make apps in any case!

I had the same thought at first, but in context I think the quoted text refers to business relationships. Which makes all the difference.

I noticed how they've marked the features that only Chrome supports (e.g. installation) but not the feature that only Firefox supports (orientation).

(tbh I don't know if the list is simply Chrome-centric or if there's a good reason behind, but it struck me as interesting)

I mean technically a flash drive could be "a secure environment walled-off from the internet"

Maybe I just haven’t discovered the track changes feature in word processors enough, but I find it lacking: no explicit grouping of changes (the git commit), no clear timeline of changes, no tagging / naming of versions etc.

Not saying that a line-by-line diff is that much better. Neither is great imo.

> On the government endpoint, which returns X that the platform uses as "evidence" for you being an adult, yes, that's tied to your identity, as the certificate/whatever is tied to your identity.

In this scenario the government knows all the age-restricted sites I've visited. I'd argue that is worse than if all the age-restricted sites I've visited know who I am...

(FTR I don't know what I think about age restrictions in general, but I'm pretty sure there's no implementation that comes without negative side effects)
