That doesn’t sound as bad

Contact photo? Pffft

They were right about Ecco

Nobody is disputing what smart phones are lol, just that people do make the distinction and do use different terms

I love the lunacy, but hated every moment of using it

Phones are a specific type of computer. I wonder if some madlad hates the term “smart phone” so much that they’re out there calling them computers and confusing everyone.

Sideloading is a more specific term than just “installing”, it’s more about where you got the software, the process of installing it. So people started using a more specific term to distinguish it from other types of installing.

Why people choose to adopt one word or another, I dunno. We just started calling it sideloading and that’s been the term for as long as I remember (though very early on I didn’t read or write much in English)

Tbf these days it is secondary behaviour. Most people aren’t installing stuff outside of app stores on their phones.

It would just feel weird changing the words we use because companies started using the same terms too. We had it first!

Before phones

But the discussion is specifically about phones…? I’ve never heard anyone use sideloading in a different context

Sideloading is an old and well established term for it when it comes to phones though. Sideloading is installing stuff outside of app stores

Flipside on where I live is cheaper land development costs for the developer (a municipality, usually). They want to cheap out since it’s easier sell to the municipal voters and contractors give cheap bids in return, deciding to cheap out on the work.

Those offering contracts cheap out on the contracts and specs, the people doing the thing cheap out on the work ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I’m not going to pay for the machine from my own money for some shit I do for work for a company. Next guy is just going to have to deal with it lol

“I’m willing to do anything”

“Work outside, where the weather is? Fuck off”

Hell yeah just put that concrete mix in the ground it’s wet enough (we actually did that)

I’m just saying snoring doesn’t mean sleep apnea. It can be a symptom of that or not

But does snoring equate to sleep apnea was the question

From the article:

It’s important to remember that snoring doesn’t necessarily indicate something potentially serious, and not everyone who snores has OSA.

Unebombers actions were bad indeed.

Unebomber had some valid complaints
