I suspect that my antivirus software, Avast is converting the URL to unicode when it is copied. I tried the Copy/Paste of the fake URL with standard Firefox, Brave (Chrome), and Avast Safezone (Chrome). Only in Brave did the fake addre

I tried it again with the same result. From the same Copy/Paste, Notepad showed https://www.epic.com but Scite showed https://www.????.com/ . This demonstrates that I have not copypasted the post-converted U

Windows users have a problem. The suggested solution of copying the URL into Notepad to reveal the true 'punycode' address does not work. Both Notepad and Wordpad render the 'punycode' as it appears in the address bar. S

On a similar note, I wonder what web filters would make of the URLs for Pen Island stationers shop or the Mole Station creche websites.

Python for Android is an extension for Kivy, so it is not optional. It looks like apps could get quite big since adding functionality involves including Python libraries to be called from Python rather than interacting with the Android API.

It looks like a 'Hello World' will result in about a 10 Mib APK which takes up roughly double that space when unpacked on the mobile device. This is not surprising because the APK must contain the Kivy library and a Python interpr

Good articles. So much for Imzy being a 'kinder gentler version of Reddit'. Looks like the same old activists have colonized the strategic key areas and are using the same old tactics of attacking the poster, not the content, and
