Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:
Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.
I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”
I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

17·19 days agoWell, it’s certainly an interesting method of self-promotion to those that bother caring enough to read that part. If it is a malware host, then those reading that far are also probably more conscious of the possibility of it being such so I’m not sure how effective it’d actually be.
Of course you being the one pointing it out could be considered sus…

I think we’ve found the next Godzilla enemy.
Doesn’t the tortoise always win that one, too?
10·1 month agoThere have been Doom ports on Android forever, that’s not even trying. (Running it well is likely another matter entirely, however.)
I’d have to get some liquid courage before I could get that into character.
Courage… to go without pants like Winnie?
Or my personal favorite, Win2K?

I object, your honor!

I don’t see what any of that has to do with my issues regarding the new model. Yeah, I’m interested in their OS and the hardware switches for better privacy control, but I’m not hardcore enough that I’ll ignore my other hardware preferences in order to have them.
I’m just not anywhere near important enough a person to need more protection than I already achieve via the official privacy options combined with a VPN blocking most of the more obnoxious stuff. The additional privacy they’re offering is “nice to have” for me, not a “must have.”
That’s why you’re supposed to carry protection with you at all times.
26.52TB in NAND?!? Did i win the lottery?!?
Haven’t looked at it in ages, but last I knew the whole philosophy was to be as Windows-like as possible to make it easy for people to switch. I never went for it because they charge for more complete versions.
I don’t need cutting edge, but removable battery and headphone jack were big selling points of the original that they’ve abruptly yanked in favor of this. I’d only learned of them recently, and was planning to buy the original. Now I may get a Fairphone instead.
Aww, c’mon! Show the bottom of the receipt with the total cost (in storage space)!
Dunno 'bout you guys, but DJ Sex doesn’t charge - it depletes.
TBF there are plenty of programmers who aren’t good programmers, but keep their job because rarely does anything they do actually affect someone’s physical health.
There’s a parts list on the YT description.
