it’s not just a ‘download and every game automatically runs’ application.

That's what binfmt is for

A Klingon bird of prey, or a romulan bird of prey?

An object is a poor man's closure.

A closure is a poor man's object.

These are two sides of the same coin, and both of them miss the point. You should be dealing with scale, and you should use a language that allows you to concisely describe how to compute large amounts of data easily. The best part is that once you start writing APL, you'll feel like a wizard.

this could be better if it used subdomains to an evil extent - extract the main domain intended and use that:

google.com => google.phishy.pc-helper.xyz/whatever-bullshit-key-they-need

Bonus points if it works for any subdomain.

Extra bonus points for a subdomain that includes https and www (e.g. https.www.google.com.phishy.pc-helper.xyz)

Likely hash based scanning like most virus scanners. It will have a set of signatures for various types of malware (keyloggers, local DNS servers, etc), and looks through the apk (which is just a zip file) for things it knows are bad like financial malware added to the app.

Their process for adding signatures to their database and how they label them is fully opaque and completely up to them, like any other antivirus company. So they could incorrectly label things intentionally and you'd have no way to know.

given your device is now compromised you should probably get a new one unless you trust android is able to fully remove the app. Because some financial malware will intercept 2fa sms from your bank.

You're forgetting the part where they had an option to disable this fuckery, and then proceeded to move it twice - exposing containers to everyone by default.

I had to clean up compromised services twice because of it.

Your readline config sucks because the default sucks.

Add this to your .inputrc:

"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward

At this point, I'm half convinced these are intentional leaks as part of either disinformation campaigns, cover stories for other intelligence ops, or something like that.

It can't possibly be that expecting a bunch of obsessed 19 year olds to keep something secret would be unreasonable.

According to starch cube theory, two pizzas stacked on top of each other is a cake, same as lasagna.

Clearly you didn't take the axiom of choice. Because otherwise you could have chosen to not make that monstrosity

The Israel Defense Forces says it supplied 300 liters of fuel for “urgent medical purposes” at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, but Hamas prevented the medical center from receiving it.

Early this morning, troops placed the jerrycans near the hospital, as had been coordinated in advance with officials at Shifa.
