Ooh, our first repost! I’ll leave it up as this is a relatively quiet community (and it still makes me chuckle)

Do you buy chocolate based on convenience over taste?

The earliest known swastikas are from 10,000 BCE

They make cool stuff, but they are ultimately an advertising company (as in that’s their main source of revenue). So by all means enjoy the cool stuff, just proceed with caution and of course assume nothing is permanent!

I called it last week!

There’s no .uk and there never was!

But you just admitted!

Why is this post a screenshot of a post of a comic instead of just a direct link or reupload of the image file?

Ooh interesting, I’ve been considering what to do when my Pebble eventually packs in, do you think this is a worthy replacement?

Maybe they just believe they need them

Offer device makers or carriers money or perks to preinstall the Play Store

Does this cover GApps in general, I wonder?

I feel this would have been really big news

The Apple case is already over, and Apple mostly won

Seems crazy that Google is forced to open up when Android is already kind of open but Apple get away with keeping iOS very closed

Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first

Why Google allows apps to block a system service from inputting information is beyond my understanding, but it’s absolutely infuriating, and just discourages the use of these tools.

This is the really annoying bit

That’s been the case for a long time, this xkcd is at least a decade old!

Oh this is going straight in [email protected]

Did you ever play Magic Survival? I played it a few years ago (before Vampire Survivors) and enjoyed it, it says it has ads and microtransactions but I don’t remember seeing any.

Oh yeah I do remember that one

I foolishly did that right away so I must have never seen the extra nagging
