Yes, that was the joke

AltStore is for iOS.

Edit: And hopefully F-Droid will be able to continue as an option, considering the new requirements Google is putting into place.

no offense to sane Americans

I don't think any reasonable american would take offense. I would prefer it wasn't either.

Some things are still required to operate during a shutdown.

That said, these are illegal layoffs and are already being challenged in court. Unfortunately that also means it will take time, and the supreme court is a complete fucking farce at this point.

I'm legitimately unconvinced that they got the right guy.

To me, it doesnt matter either way what I think about his guilt. Its on the prosecution to prove it, and until then he is not guilty. As it should be.

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “These smears have led to a 1,000% increase in assaults against our officers — including terrorist threats, vehicle attacks, and bounties on their heads.”

I'd love to see the data to back that up.

Also, we can do better. Why not a 10,000% increase? Or a 100,000% increase?

Like the man in the stall said to the guy waiting, "Gimme time baby, gimme time"

Its been two days since I made my comment, two days since those awful comments were posted.

Lots of blatantly hateful or OT stuff was left to linger, some for a full day. My comment stands.

Yeah but fuck Tim Allen

Well... fuck.

The simple word "extensive" on Wikipedia says plenty.

No, I agree that its weird, I'm just saying its weirdly common to the way many locations store ammo. As you mentioned, piling it up under a thin piece of glass or inside a cabinet isn't really better. Its all pretty weird.

I also think the vending machine aspect is weird because it introduces other problems.

Many things can be weird about this.

You got me good on this one

I mean in terms of buying it. A vending machine has zero critical thinking skills and can potentially recognize someone behaving oddly, or blatantly using someone else's ID or other similar funny business.

I'm not talking about storage, the ubiquitous comment was about that. Like you said its almost always stored poorly, a vending machine doesnt change that.

Sorry I said it poorly and made that unclear
