Modern Windows gives you warning when you try to execute unsigned executables.

Android is not outright banning sideloading. It's just showing you some annoying warnings, which, for me personally, is not enough deterrant to stop people from installing bad shit on their machine that has close to everything about that person.

Scammers make old people install malicious app designed to steal user data and obviously much more. It's a trick as old as the Internet itself but it's much more devastating when literally almost every aspect of your life is at stake.

They're not making it impossible to install. Trust me if that was the case I'd just use iphone. But few warnings definitely don't hurt imo.

Good chance if you have Fdroid you know what you're doing

How do people come up with these genious ideas?

Thank you, kind sir o7

I did this once. The community stays without any moderator. Instance admin can assign moderators if needed.

I am not willing to sell my imaginary kids for Kagi but I sure as hell love them. People can have good experiences and people also like to share them. Evangelicals are always going to be for anything or for anyone. What you should be asking is why are people willing to sell their kids to defend what they have strong feelings/beliefs about?

I know a bit more than normal people would about the inner workings of LLMs. I still occasionally have a conversation with it, like I would with a therapist, perhapse less open and all but still. Do I know it's nothing more than a talking parrot? Yes. Do I still feel like I'm talking to a real person without judgement? Yes. And I can use that from time to time.

GPT tldr: Chaos erupted at the offices of the e-commerce platform TMON in Seoul as thousands of angry customers swarmed the building demanding refunds amid the company's liquidity crisis. With no clear protocol in place, the crowds grew unruly as they tried to register for refunds, with many leaving empty-handed. TMON and its sister company WeMakePrice have been unable to pay their sellers since May, leading to a flood of canceled purchases and refund requests that the companies have struggled to process. Customers whose travel packages were canceled expressed frustration at the lack of progress, with one saying the waiting numbers and registration forms seemed meaningless. Despite TMON's efforts to process 1,000 refunds on-site, the massive crowds far exceeded that number, leaving many customers still waiting to get their money back.

Fun fact: TMON's parent company, Qoo10, owns wish.com.
