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

There’s coffee in the nebula that was my heart

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

Thank you! Curation is important for keeping the content worthwhile

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

I wouldn’t read much more into it than JJ Abrams not being a Trek fan in the first place

If you want a conspiracy theory, then giving Spock an on-screen hetero love interest sabotages the long tradition of Kirk/Spock fan slash. However, I don’t think JJ Abrams would have thought about that not having been a Trek fan in the first place

SV: One of the basic questions of the game was whether you would become a monster if it would save the world. So that’s where you get that in that moment. And then the interesting bit was, well, if you’re not going to do it, are you going to ask someone else to do it, or you just going to say, “F*ck everybody?” That’s essentially what that moment was.

Yep. My first playthrough was as Karlach with a strict code of no non-consensual body mods ever again and no giving baddies power, so when I got to that choice the only true thing I could choose was “F*ck everybody” with the automatic loss dialog box. Oh well

My current playthrough is as Astarion with a slightly more flexible moral code. Of course, now I’ve gone for the brainworms and I’m regretting it simply for the visual effects on the skin

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

They set it for me in Canada, so they are lying there

The price is right. See Price Discrimination: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/price_discrimination.asp

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

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?

What about Mac?

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

Because Microsoft and VC types have thrown many billions of US dollars at this and similar companies, so a lot of (their) money is at stake

I only ever use those junky voice assistants when driving, and they are useless half the time

Next step up from using confession material for blackmailing parishioners

We are definitely well past that point. We are also passing the point where Star Wars nostalgia was fondly remembering watching Episode I as a kid and soon will be at the point where Star Wars nostalgia is fondly remembering watching The Force Awakens as a kid
