There are at least three people with that name: the current US president, his son, and this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_L._Trump

Actually it can. Cookies, local storage … but using that for backups would certainly be an idea I haven't heard before.

I have been doing so for more than two thirds of my life (back then it was independent web forums). Hardly know a world in which that isn't part of my habits.

I do it because it is fun, kills my boredom, gives me meaning in life and often provides intellectual challenge. It also helps others and generally contributes to society by making more information available.

Everyone who has played through GTA 5 has heard the pronunciation "nitch" here: https://youtu.be/FlzZhGr8G9w?t=79

I (nonnative speaker of English) used to think it was pronounced neesh because my first language's cognate (Nische) is pronounced similar to that. But since hearing that scene I know that's not universally the case.

In what context did you read this?

Statements don't actually become questions, stupid or otherwise, by arbitrarily ending them with a question mark, you know.

Ernsthaft? Quelle?

why, great news!

So I suspect they are also dropping their plans to require age verification on social media?

After all, public code repositories which are essential for developing the software they're switching to are... also a form of social media, correct? Surely they do not want to sabotage its development by requiring those repos to implement costly age verification? Right?

Because that's how the software works. It's deleted for other people, but not from the database, so that you yourself can still see it in case you need it later.
