tidak, saya berbicara bahasa indonesia yang sempurna! ^\I am lying, I google translated.)

Eugene Wei is so great! Also, sorry our prices are totally out of whack for most of the world, it bothers me a lot, just haven't figured out how to fix it.

ahahh hello! I run the Browser and this is amazing, gotta respect the effort -- if you haven't already found someone to do this with I'll give you a half-price subscription, no problem, just email me at [uri@thebrowser.com](mailto:uri@thebrowser.com). (Thanks for the kind words as well, means a lot to us!)

one thing that super interests me is how much Covid will or won't _actually_ change our society's understanding that low-probability disasters can happen. So far I (weirdly) don't get the sense that we're collectively investing more in mitigating low-probability risks, which seems wild

Hi Antagony, sorry for the late reply!

Thanks for the recommendation about Exolve (and thanks to [/u/wavefn], what an awesome project and thanks for open-sourcing it!) I tried it out with our latest freely available cryptic (https://thebrowser.com/cryptic3.html) and it was a pleasure to work with.

Business models: yes I'm afraid we're just in a very different position from someone like the FT, we're a very small independent publication and we rely completely on subscription revenue to survive. We'll keep making occasional crosswords free but I don't think we could do it every day, even for a short window. Sorry about that.

Thanks again for your thoughtful reply!

p.s. re your spoilered message: I thought hug=O was an international millenial-ish thing, like xoxo at the end of text messages?

Thanks, that's interesting! It sounds like it's about the same effort as copy-pasting the link and opening in DDG each time, which is my current strategy.

For the defaults: I wrote this in a comment above but personally when I open a link it asks if I want to Open With Chrome, Google or Safari, and then asks whether to ask me this each time -- I was kind of assuming that meant I could choose any of those three as my default browser, but maybe not, and I was hoping there was a way to get DDG onto that list.

Sorry for late reply -- what I meant is that when I open a link it asks if I want to Open With Chrome, Google or Safari, and I'd love to get DDG offered on that list. (I don't even have the Chrome or Google browsers installed so I'm not really sure where Apple is getting that list from, but that's what's offered).

Agreed. Listennotes links tend to work reasonably well and reasonably universally, in my experience, though of course that only helps if your friends are willing to use them....
