I guess the next step in piracy is to change the apk enough that it doesn’t get recognized correctly, if that’s possible? Though then everyone will have to worry about malware-ridden apps.

I think this is horrible, aside from piracy, because you may want or need to stay on an older version of an app. I have had to for devices at work that require a specific version or just an easy way to manage the device and ensure devices only got updates we approved through our MDM.

It doesn’t make much sense anyway. You try to take away the power a word has or make it so it’s not readily available, but that just makes me wonder more about it.

“The f word? Which f word?”

“Why did they put an asterisk to hide ‘abuse’?”

“F*cker” - great censoring. Nobody will ever be able to tell what that word was.

Knew it was coming soon but it still hurts to know he’s no longer here. I can’t say I ever saw a movie I was displeased with that he was in. He reminded me of my grandpa.

Went to Iceland a few years ago and the biggest thing I noticed was how clean everything was. In the US, at least where I am, trash is literally part of the street. Little black “gum” streaks, random paper flying about…

I don’t remember ever seeing any litter of any kind anywhere we went on the island.

I do remember seeing a random piece of raw meat on a meadow but that was it and I’m not sure I’d call that litter.

Yeah it’s not a good solution at all. Would have been better to have a separate place for water to serve both purposes. I see a lot of places that will have a glass pitcher dispenser on the side of a soda dispenser just for water.

The water usually tastes better from these, anyway. Not polluted by the sugary soda/carbonation that comes from the same dispenser.

Would also be obvious that someone isn’t getting free soda and pretending to get water since it’s a totally different place.

It’s backed by the likes of Samsung, Square Enix, Circle & Mysten Labs and is taking aim at both SteamOS from Valve and Windows from Microsoft to give a simple interface to get gaming on handheld PCs and more.

This is going to be interesting. I think Valve will welcome the competition while Microsoft is not going to like this if they notice an impact.

It’ll be interesting to see what new features they can bring to the table that Valve can implement or improve SteamOS on.

But loving to see more Linux options and less reliance on Windows!

That’s probably their argument. They probably thought that by removing the water option, people won’t be able to sneak soda and pretend they were getting free water.

Oh no this was years before Covid that this was happening. I remember this because it was prior to a close family member of mine passing and that had something to do with my personal experience with this sub, in particular.

They said it was due to “brigading”, but a lot of the users being banned had never heard of the obscure subs that were doing this.

The wannabe tyrants of subs like OffMyChest who banned people for simply posting in another sub, regardless of context, and the fact that Reddit didn’t shit about it despite it being against their own ToS.

Super lazy form of “moderating” to not just wait for someone to actually be a dick in your sub. Most people receiving the ban never heard of your dopey little sub until they got auto-banned for the crime of participating in an unrelated sub.
