I was basically just asking how wobbly it is, haha.

How do you keep the pen tips vertical position accurate as it pens around without something dragging in the drawings?

The Expanse did the exact same thing

Starfleet took note from Stargate Command

What’s with you horses today, OP?

What’s wrong with Zachary Quinto?

Stargate was so notorious for this that it became a running joke in Atlantis.

My views come directly from having owned both ios and android devices with their respective app stores. The majority of malware is on Android, but it’s hardly exclusive. Android devices also hold the majority of the market, by a very wide margin. The idea that ios is some kind of paragon of perfect security and privacy is incredibly naive and misguided.

I’m curious if you can point me to any specific instances of third party app stores being problematic for Android, perhaps I missed something.

In my experience, most users either don’t know about the third party app stores or don’t use them. Android has a setting to completely disable downloads from outside sources. If a user chooses to download from a third party app store, they are doing it of their own free will and they alone assume the same risks as browsing the internet normally. At that point it’s really just internet 101 that any competent person should understand. Anyone else can simply choose to stay in their walled garden of safety.

Also, for the most part, developers won’t develop for a third party store or make their own launcher unless there is a significant advantage to do so, like being forced to pay exorbitant prices to a monopolizing company in exchange for a false sense of “privacy and security”. Apps aren’t going to suddenly jump ship and make their own launchers. That costs a lot of money and Apple has curated a nice ecosystem. But, both developers and users should be allowed to choose what and how they install software on their personal devices. Android has proven that the wider user base will see virtually no impact and device security wont suddenly be compromised unless a specific user chooses to compromise their own device.

The vast majority would almost certainly remain on the app store, and practically nothing would change for those apps in terms of security or convenience. Android has allowed downloads from other app stores for years, and not once has it posed a significant issue. Epic isn’t trying to force apps off the app store. They are only trying to open up options for other developers to distribute and make money without having to give it all to the monopoly that is Apple. This would give users the option to also move outside of the walled garden, but at no point would anyone be forced to do anything.

It’s like a whiny child running to mommy because their sibling is being a meanie.

Why is Jimmy Fallon a part of this?

There I fixed it.
