By the time I had found out Google+ was a social media and not like premium features for the Google suite of office clone software, it was already announced to be shutting down

I don’t think this person was saying they think all manual apk installs are suspect, just that installing apks from an unreliable source. There are plenty of reliable sources to get apks

Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:

Android is a mobile operating system (32-bit and 64-bit) based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source software, designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android is developed by a consortium of developers known as the Open Handset Alliance, though its most widely used version is primarily developed by Google. It was unveiled in November 2007, with the first commercial Android device, the HTC Dream, being launched in September 2008. At its core, the operating system is known as the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and is free and open-source software (FOSS) primarily licensed under the Apache License. However, most devices run on the proprietary Android version developed by Google, which ships with additional proprietary closed-source software pre-installed, most notably Google Mobile Services (GMS) which includes core apps such as Google Chrome, the digital distribution platform Google Play, and the associated Google Play Services development platform. Firebase Cloud Messaging is used for push notifications. While AOSP is free, the “Android” name and logo are trademarks of Google, which imposes standards to restrict the use of Android branding by “uncertified” devices outside their ecosystem.Over 70 percent of smartphones based on the Android Open Source Project run Google’s ecosystem (which is known simply as Android), some with vendor-customized user interfaces and software suites, such as TouchWiz and later One UI by Samsung and HTC Sense. Competing ecosystems and forks of AOSP include Fire OS (developed by Amazon), ColorOS by Oppo, OriginOS by Vivo, MagicUI by Honor, or custom ROMs such as LineageOS. The source code has been used to develop variants of Android on a range of other electronics, such as game consoles, digital cameras, portable media players, and PCs, each with a specialized user interface. Some well-known derivatives include Android TV for televisions and Wear OS for wearables, both developed by Google. Software packages on Android, which use the APK format, are generally distributed through proprietary application stores like Google Play Store, Amazon Appstore (including for Windows 11), Samsung Galaxy Store, Huawei AppGallery, Cafe Bazaar, GetJar, and Aptoide, or open source platforms like F-Droid. Android has been the best-selling OS worldwide on smartphones since 2011 and on tablets since 2013. As of May 2021, it had over three billion monthly active users, the largest installed base of any operating system in the world, and as of January 2021, the Google Play Store featured over 3 million apps. Android 14, released on October 4, 2023, is the latest version, and the recently released Android 12.1/12L includes improvements specific to foldable phones, tablets, desktop-sized screens and Chromebooks.

Unironically, block chain. A legit use for NFTs

Syncthing is foss software I use for that, they don’t try in anyway to hinder you syncing using third party. Their paid option is just how they monetize

Still cringe, the point went so far over your head it’s almost funny if it wasn’t so cringe.

Imagine if most people had this shitty attitude. Nothing would ever change.

I’m not racist, but a jew stereotype that fits every jew I’ve ever met is eating chinese food on christmas

Yeah if any of that actually happened, but it didn’t.

“HE’S PULLING HIS COCK OUT!”

Even then, he got a good amount of his initial wealth by just investing in other people’s companies.

Hardly self made when worker exploitation was the norm at that time. He cane from a time when striking workers were literally bombed by the US military or just shot down in the street like disobedient dogs.

Not self made.

The idea of voxel games was old by the time either came around, Notch just made his more fun.

Self made is a fallacy regardless of background.

Money requires a society to operate, and business requires customers as well as hard work from many people. It’s a huge group effort from every direction.

I suppose they think they can gather more information on user habits and user interaction with onedrive to determine how to reduce user loss.

Have you been to hexbear? It’s very thick over there with that kind of shit

Yeah that’s why it’s a forlorn memory. Forums are way too easy for toxic people to dominate.

I think shows that don’t have an end in mind always devolve into their purest form

Like Suits, a great example of a show that just went past its life time. It eventually just became people barging into someone’s office and yelling at then over something they misinterpreted, usually with some form of “oh here’s a gotcha I also was doing stuff behind your back” only for the person they’re yelling at to reveal it was either a lie/misinformation or hit them with a gotcha of their own, then they walk down the hall and get yelled at by some temporary character
