There is a very fine, very subjective line, between lame and funny.

Those are “Cage Free”.
I’m not sure what technically counts as “Free Range”. I think if the building has a small chicken size door, so at least theoretically a few could manage to go outside, that might count.

Kagi says the risk is pretty high.

Stop using the dynamic sound. That will help.

You could go to your local Library. That’s always an option.

That’s got nothing to do with what sideloading means.

And the risks are very overblown.
While it’s possible, it’s extremely rare.

Mostly because the potent target pool is so small. Bigger potentials for bad guys if they trick app stores into approving trojan horse apps, because everyone thinks app stores are safer.

This isn’t North Korea.
Even China and Russia can’t fully block things.
Our networks aren’t nearly as controlled as theirs.

Not quite. You don’t need any app store at all.
You literally download an APK file from a website or anywhere, then install it directly. Could even be a friend with a thumb drive. Doesn’t matter how you get it, it’s just a file.

On Android you can download apps (.APK files) from the web, and install them without any app store.

Didn’t know that

I believe Google and Apple are to be fined if they don’t remove the app from their stores.

We don’t have the ability to nationally block the domains and IPs, so current users will still be able to access it. So you shouldn’t need a VPN.

Android users could side load the app if they want.

Smart enough to realize it, but not smart enough to not say it.
Rather than write a public letter pointing it out, he could have just let it happen.

When your enemy is helping you, don’t tell them.
It might encourage them to stop.

DMCA says bypassing encryption at all, to copy something, is illegal.

It is. Or will be. It’s very young and not at all ready just yet.

Loops is only two months old at this point. As far as I know it’s still just Daniel Supernault doing all the work.

You did want to. Just as I want to correct you.
Because we have no free will.
Our wants are the very things that aren’t free.

And I appreciate the implication that I’ve convinced someone to marry me. That’s generous of you.

There you go. That makes sense.

I don’t know why this is hard to grasp.
The Poor in NYC… Don’t Drive!

Maybe you’re thinking of the upper middle class.

No. It’s me. Steve
