It could be like the Dread Pirate Roberts, where the mantle continually gets passed on to the next person. The Dread Pirate Johnson.

“One bowl of soup, please. Neat.”

This sounds like any website suddenly becomes an app store as soon as it starts distributing software for a mobile device. So (ignoring my following point), if I suddenly post my new APK on my personal site suddenly it’s an app store!?

I think so. The intention is probably to have the law cover any method of getting your hands on an app, not just what we typically know as “app stores”. Otherwise, it would leave a loophole.

This sounds like it includes laptops but not desktop computers.

I thought that at first too, but I think the part at the end about “handheld electronic devices” is what limits it to not include laptops.

But they DID curse. Did those asterisks magically remove all meaning from those words, or were you still perfectly able to understand their meaning? If it’s the latter, then the asterisks accomplished nothing.

If they truly wanted to avoid cursing, those words wouldn’t be there at all. Self-censoring like they did is what needs to be done on some platforms to still curse, but bypass content filters. That isn’t necessary here, so it’s just performative. If you’re going to curse, just fucking do it.

I don’t know about that. It sounds like they would be a total disaster on stage.

Hmm, that could actually be entertaining. I’m in.

“Everyone” had nothing to do with my reply. You were saying that transphobia was not common. I quoted the relevant statistic from the survey you linked that implied otherwise.

Thirty-one percent of U.S. adults disapprove of transgender and nonbinary adults living their lives as they wish

That sure doesn’t sound like a niche thing
