Go to Playlists, choose ‚downloaded Music‘ (don’t know the exact description in English, I’m German): You get a list with all downloaded music an can play it. If you’re in a area with just EDGE Apple Music is skipping all titles which are not on your device and is playing just downloaded music. At least as long you play a random list.

None of them. The old ones, .com, .org, .de (I'm from Germany) and maybe .info are good enough. Many people out there are irritated if you tell them a Webadressen with one one the new TLD. Some of them don't recognise it as a Webadress. Thats all people who are not so much techies as you and I. Worst case: On some web-sites you can't enter mailadress with a TLD longer than 4 chars. 8-) The new TLD are just exist to make more money. There is no need. They created a new market to sell more. more than 98% of the traffic for my websites comes with this classic TLDs. The new TLDs are just expensive & useless.

all the (western) world is oriented for right-handed people. I think this is the most important reason for this. They will work in the same manner on left side, but its too late to change this behaviour.

Yes, that's an obvious solution. But what other ideas are out there to publishing? I am sure some websites are good multipliers to spread a new tool, but which websites & services?

Ask your bank and other to give you a different way for authentication. You will get a other tool for that. There are serval hardware-authenticators and other tools out there and each bank or service offers this to you. Its yourself who create this single point of failure. I have a second (old) phone at home, ready for reactivation if needed. I am teaching my kids to not use the same Mailadress / mobile number for each service and to be sure to have a good backup for really important accounts (really important for my kid means: for Steam and other games). Try to find different way to get the authentication. They exist. The only disadvantage is: you have to ask and it isn't as simple as an mobile.

I know this way of job posts from my former company. They had a lot of applications out there, but had a STOP to get new employees. This lasts more than 6 months. I asked the HR-manager about it, and he told me that all the offers are out there to not show the internal problem. This was more than 10 years ago in Germany. Seems nothing changed, even not in other countries.

This is hard to predict without more information about the company & the product. A IPO depends strong on the market and (maybe more important) the goal of the share holders. There are a lot of companies, huge enough for a IPO but don't do it. Even if the investor agreement is true, the current time is not the best. If the owner / major share holder don't want it, you have to wait until ... endless.

Send them an offer to buy the domain for amount xx. Calculate xx with your actual cost plus a small fee for your shock to read this letter from their lawyer. Give them a clear, fast timeline how to get the needed domain. Tell them the domain was never active used. Make sure xx is low enough to not start a suit again you.
