Russian warship, go f*** yourself

If you don't find the humour funny, it's not going to work for you. It's half humour, half love letter to trek. Star Trek meets Futurama

To some extent, the characters have to be hyper and heightened because they have to fit a Star Trek episode in under half an hour

We must disassemble the solar system and make paperclips AI server farms

Moves like this always assume that location equals citizenship. As an EU citizen living in North America, a move like this means that I would not get the remedy that Apple legally owes me (or would owe me if I owned an iOS device)

The main thing I've been sideloading on Android for a decade is a fan implementation of the Dominion card game called Androminion. It was trademark cease and desist removed from the Play Store a decade ago, but you can still get the apk on Github

There's a couple other things. One big gap in both the Google and Apple stores is the complete absence of adult content. I'm amazed there's not more of a clamour for adult apps among either userbase, given that most people don't own a normal computer. Sideloading could plug that gap

If you ban bank heist movies like Ocean's Eleven, people will stop robbing banks

It's a different cultural tradition

The combat has to be turn-based or it becomes an ARPG like Diablo/Dungeon Siege/Titan Quest/Torchlight

Is it going to be like Whatsapp end-to-end encryption where they just rolled out a 4-digit pincode for "backups" on their servers as the third end?

Canada has unions

It's why Pizza Pizza has a history of being voted as Toronto's best pizza chain despite selling cardboard with red paint on it as food

Next step up from using confession material for blackmailing parishioners

Thanks Disney. Good job having bought all the studios

I can smell the cigarette pack by the bed and it smells disgusting

Employees that dont want to move will likely be offered a severance package.

Or terminated for cause, so it's cheaper than a layoff

Removing things is not sufficient for removing bias. Omission is a kind of bias. You can lie by cherry-picking just some of the truth and skipping the rest

Are refurbished units not the result of a repair?

Approximately the same thing that was wrong with POC that led to BIPOC. Prefixing 2S centres the First Nations experience which has added intersectional layers, just as prefixing BI to POC centres the black and indigenous experiences which have added intersectional layers
