  • Teen wanted out. They get information they wanted online. Planet better off.

    There's no problem here, only parental failure & buttmad pearl clutching.

  • “Legacy media lies.”

    I was expecting "send nudes" & was disappointed. Joykills.

  • And that disgrace of human is named Ricardo La Regina. Even his family couldn't let his crimes go unpunished

    Charges against La Regina were filed by his uncle Alberto La Regina, one of the first fauna rangers in the area. His father, Luis, donated the land to create the penguin colony, which for decades was the largest Magellanic penguin reserve in the world.

  • “They” is a pronoun.

    Not the question.

    It’s loaded language

    Nothing you wrote supports that. In the i-drive case, it draws a distinction between a (1) direct transfer between remote systems (without intermediary) and (2) a transfer between a local & remote system.

    Other OSs have this concept. My first exposure to the concept came from administering Windows systems. Their definition draws an unopinionated distinction between official & unofficial distribution channels

    Sideloading apps is when you install apps that aren't from an official source, such as the Microsoft Store. Your organization can create its own apps, including line-of-business (LOB) apps.

    & their distinct installation methods with similar caveats

    When you enable sideloading, you allow installing and running apps from outside the Microsoft Store. This action might increase security risks to the device and your data. Sideloaded apps need to be signed with a certificate that the device trusts.

    That's the entire point of the term there: to express that the installation method & checks differ.

    What about the clear use case for a FOSS developer who doesn’t want to go through the Google authority for validation?

    Sign it yourself or bypass verification as stated before.

    Show me the “clear documentation that power users can still install any package they want,”

    It was linked above: try reading.

    Google already has a service to protect against malicious applications

    which is reactive & doesn't deter the installation of malicious apps via sideload like the new feature will.

  • Name-calling an opposing “they”

    "They" is now a dirty word?

    Sideload wasn't loaded language before Android OS and still isn't: it's a bogus, overreactive claim.

    All of them are valid install methods. Developers will always need a way to load their experimental apps not yet suitable for release: they won't block the methods they need to do that.

    Clear use cases for casual users exist for

    • deterring them from installing software by bad actors that's known to be malicious
    • verifying non-malicious software hasn't been modified possibly maliciously before installing it.

    "They" are drama-queens, because despite legitimate use cases to address actual problems posing high-cost risks to users (even as Google turns out to be a shitty authority) & clear documentation that power users can still install any package they want, they choose to catastrophize.

  • It's not a suggestion for an alternative. Sideloading is not even blocked: unblocked apps remain sideloadable. Sideloading is not "fucking anti-property-rights loaded language" & the word existed a while before Android OS.

    They're just being uninformed drama-queens as usual.

  • sideloading existed long before mobile OSs

  • you can

    it's also why apps that can be websites should

  • We need a parody book of the Bible like a Gospel of Charlie Kirk where he preaches empathy is bullshit, school shootings are totally worth right to own guns, and great replacement theory. It'd be as consistent as the rest of the Bible.

  • an awful lot of victims who claimed this independent of each other

    That's a reasonable basis to expect conclusive evidence to exist & search for it. Unless that evidence turns up, we don't conclusively know.

    we know there’s a black book

    Do we? There's

    released a while ago. That black book in particular is inconclusive of anything.

    Maybe you're referring to a more damning black book, but the press so far has written that claims it exists come from speculation & myth. It's possible it exists, but I don't think we know it.

  • Testimony isn't infallible. Quite a bit of science & the Innocence Project to back that up.

  • That said, has it been legally proven in court that he raped (a child)?

    Nope.

    I dont need evidence for me

    Shouldn't that concern you?

  • Linking to sources on that would be useful.

  • It is expedient for dividing their power & turning them against each other, something Democrats & progressives should keenly understand from so much self-infliction.

    If Trump really does show up with “The List” (which isn’t really a list, but a compilation of various other documents that people keep pretending is a big binder called “Names of People Who Fucked Kids” that we’re going to get a copy of) and his name is emblazoned across it a thousand times… what happens next?

    Funny you mention that: how do we know any of it actually exists outside Qanon conspiracy theories the press has reported for years? While I don't deny the expediency of myths for ruining enemies, are people outside right-wing conspiracy theory communities seriously subscribing to the idea this wasn't pulled out of some right-winger's ass?

  • No, it isn't: just a dishonest way to lessen discomfort.

  • Or the opposite: you don't want to fund defense?

    • Rebrands of Department of War: Navy, War → Navy, Army, Air Force → Defense → War
    • Rebrands of HBO Max: HBO on Broadband → HBO Go, HBO Now → HBO Max → Max → HBO Max

  • Thankful for them trying to protect our virgin eyes from the ravages of a dirty word, but the extra letters r n are too triggering, and they've scarred our delicate, snowflake lives. Is there some remedy they can offer to atone for inflicting this trauma on us?
