Thank you for theses ansewers
Is it possible to have a picture of you in landscape format to illustrate the interview?

#4

Sure thing. This one is CC0:

#5

Can you tell me what’s your favorite application and why ?

#6

Web client. It reminds us constantly the interconnectedness of information spaces.

#7

Does that mean you do not have a favorite app? That you are a client of the web in its entirety?

#8

An Web client is an application, and it is my favorite application. Yes.

#9

Ah Ok, do you have the link to this application?

#10

https://www.w3.org/Clients.html has a list, current as of March 29, 1995. Since then the number of clients has grown considerably; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers has a partial list.

#11

Thank you for the link, sorry to appear a little novice, but could you explain to me what the utility of this application please, I find it a little difficult to understand

#12

The purpose of a web client is accessing Web resources, including browsing, editing, following and making hyperlinks, and so on. “Firefox Focus” for example is one such app on mobile devices.

#13

Thank you very much, Merci beaucoup !

#14

Just to be sure, can I put your platform’s link (PDIS) on the article?

#15

Yes, of course :slight_smile:

#16

Merci :slight_smile:

#18

Hi! It’s chronicled here:

#19

Thank’s Audrey !

#20

Could you also explain me why in Taiwan being transgender does not pose any problem while in other countries it is already more taboo ?

I think you know the symbol that you represent in the LGBT community, are you involved in this cause? If yes, how ?

And what message would you like to pass on to transgender peoples who are struggling to flourish in their country?
