Everyone I know, goes away in the end.

I certainly believe one can have that experience, but I’ve had several bad interactions with cops even as a white dude. Ranging from them being dismissive/rude dickheads, to one cop trying to start a fucking fight with me. I used to think most were decent until I had more than a couple bad interactions with them. I think the job just attracts overly aggressive/cocky pricks. You wanna believe that the motivation is normally improving society but I don’t think it usually is tbh.

Followup explanations?! Blasphemy!!!

I hope I ever again feel like corruption is seen as universally a bad thing… The trump era broke me.

What snarky point are you making?

Fedora is great but I did hit some really annoying snags a couple of times. Ubuntu is easiest and generally is most supported. I don’t like snaps and some other Ubuntu things so I go Ubuntu-based instead, with pop os. I really like it.

You are debating literally anything that comes to mind. I was debating a ridiculous bullshit stat you puked up. Bye

I know because most people won’t even install an ad blocker. Let alone will they research apks, change system settings, and then install them. It being possible to be tricked into it is an entirely different topic. What are you high on man? I’m done here. What a waste of time.

Lol still with the “I’m right” stance. Very helpful. If I’m being generous here you accidentally introduced a misunderstanding, did nothing to clear it up, and then blamed others for it. If I’m not, you’re just a troll.

English is not my first language and I have a bad day

Uh, so then why confidently correct others who do speak English as a first language? You haven’t made much of an attempt to do anything here other than say “I’m right everyone else is wrong”

This is so much beating around the bush. Somehow you’ve managed to ignore the 15 times I’ve pointed it out: most users do not install apks. That’s all. You claimed they did and I said that was dumb. So anything else is just a distraction from the point I was trying to make. Google is pretty shitty but you might have a point that not everything they do is shitty… But that’s not what the conversation started as. And I don’t really care to change the subject at this point.

You do, actually.

I have over 2 decades of background in hardcore IT-Sec, i know my stuff. And you? What is your qualification, where are your sources?

This translates to anyone who isn’t you to:

I know a lot, you know very little. Trust me, not you.

And again if you’re going to make this 80% claim and then say you sourced it, don’t link shit that’s sort of related but in no way backing up that claim. No one here is saying malware isn’t a problem. You’re getting downvoted for making specific claims which are absurd.

I wonder if a statement like this ever once convinced anyone of anything. My guess would be it nearly always has the opposite effect. You basically told me that whatever I know doesn’t matter because “trust me bro”. For all I know, you’re the worst source ever for literally every topic. Your articles didn’t back you up. Why do people bother with shit like this? “I’m an expert so what I say goes” is idiotic and in no way addresses the common sense point I was making: the average person definitely doesn’t know or install apks because of fucking course they don’t. If you said 80% would if scammed, that’s at least plausible but I’m not even sure I could believe that. The well is poisoned now in any case so you’re not convincing anyone here after this… Whatever masturbatory shit this was. Or just shilling for a corporation? Who the fuck knows

Goalposts keep moving. 80% will install an apk, now it’s if coerced.

Anyone who makes the claim that 80% of people installs apks is an idiot who cannot be taken seriously. Of fucking course they don’t.

Ok, trolling. Got it.

Okay either you’re trolling or clueless. Because you just made my argument for me. How exactly are people who don’t know what an app is going to enable side loading and then do it? That makes no sense whatsoever.

Given that your first article says nothing about 80% I’m not continuing to click your links.

I was being generous when I said 90%.

Trump’s death will be celebrated more, and I see no problem with that. Who was actually technically worse doesn’t always matter to emotional creatures which is what we are. Plus we don’t know/remember everything. We have had it drilled into our skulls by trump for a decade now that he is a huge piece of shit who deserves to die. Don’t be mad or surprised when those drills pay off for him

80% of android users will freely install whatever APK from wherever.

A ridiculous and absurd lie. 90% have zero clue what one is, let alone go into the developer settings (there are one, maybe two settings you have to enable) to change the settings to even make that possible. Why are you lying about this? It’s weird.

Googgle?
