Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Good point. Wild how these ghouls have normalized their bullshit language.
Do you have a better, simple word for what they're banning?
installing?
downloading and installing programs.
But they're not banning downloading and installing programs. What are they blocking, specifically?
What do you call installing an application on a computer?
I say "I
apt-getit"Loading non-playstore apps?
"Ownership."
