I was not. My point was just that this post has a sort of linguistic playing going on that that first tldr didn’t follow, but you didn’t also so… I don’t know why I try. I just found it fun.

What is this discussion? Did y’all not grasp what was going on with that first Bing talk? I was just trying to stop you guys and gals using that symbol willy nilly; nobody’s actually apologizing for Bing

How about “most famous and trustworthy virtual information vault”? Or is that too much?

Did you just ruin it to tldr an info that’s just a Bing away?

Oulipo is chock full of amazing linguistic training propositions isn’t it?

May I submit a formulation akin to “I got what you did thusly”?

How surprising! I thought that symbol most popular in “La disparition”'s original localism, but this wiki says this translation’s vocabulary has a similar proportion and thus - probably - a similar difficulty.

I actually heard something about that in class not long ago

The story is that Android’s security heavily relies on the compartmentalization of apps that lives in the android layer, over the Linux kernel. Apparently, that functionality works in part because only this layer can perform operations that require root access, no app or user can. So software that allows you to root your phone apparently breaks this requirement, and makes the whole OS insecure. He even heavily implied that one should never root their phone with ‘free’ software found on the internet because that was usually a front for some nefarious shit regarding your data.

I’m just parroting a half-understood and half-remebered speech from a security expert. His credentials were impressive but I have no ability to judge that critically, if anyone knows more about this feel free to correct me.
