Lol, Play is an exploit.

After 30 years in IT, I've seen 100x more systems taken down by updates than by exploits.

Actually, I've never had a system taken down by an exploit, 100% of outages have been caused by borked updates or changes.

I've had friends who's clients have been taken hostage by exploits, and 100% of those have been because of poor security practices and phishing - neither of which is preventable by updates.

Here's a question, if almost no-one sideloads or uses FDroid, where do people get the millions of malicious apps from? Play Store.

So where's the problem again? Oh, yea, Play Store.

Why does Play need Play Protect if practically all apps come from Play Store?

Nah, then stuff breaks.

Wow, that's truly expansive.

An Aussie complaining about Americans yelling?

I'm confused.

Neat.

Is there a connection of the Frankish (or Latin) to PIE?

There's always a connection to PIE (or seems to be). I'm curious if both words connect there somehow.

Wouldn't it be Normasota or Averagesota then? 😁

That's only about 30 years too late.

Are they going to stop making shitty food, too?

I'd rather have bezels - they make holding a phone easier.

So, they're smaller, right? Or is that not how measurements work?

This whole argument is nonsense, and doesn't change the pint that 6.3 is not "compact".

That we can find any phone smaller given the market today, means it isn't compact.

The Samsung S4 Mini was compact compared to the S4, by design.

Plenty.

And that's an irrelevant strawman and goalpost move all rolled into one anyway. I'm currently running a Pixel 5,which is noticeably smaller.

6.3 is not compact.

Lol, right?

How often do I need to interact with my bank anyway?

Android isn't Linux, Android is a Java implementation using a Linux kernel (IIRC) - the Linux part isn't even "complete" - when you root you find there are tools you need to add to get typical Linux capability (busybox, init-d, etc). .

So you're not going to install an Android APK on Linux or anything else, unless it emulates Android.

The language used doesn't mean much - lots of stuff for Windows was written using C languages, and those would never run on Linux or Unix.
