I’m looking forward to FDroid both because I support open source and because it’ll presumably be called Fapple or the Fapp Store and really disappoint some confused horny people when it’s just things like Termux and privacy apps.

More like F-Apple. Don't pronounce it.

You’re talking about the internet, here…

I could've put NSFW tag on that. Maybe someone would like to pronounce FAPPLE aloud in a public transport and everyone start ro furiously masturbate? I can't take this responaibility. And are we really react IRL at what we read?

When I laugh at jokes on the internet, I don't actually laugh. I just blow more air out of my nose or mouth than usual

PS I got you, I'm pretty much overusing obscene words there, I've just remembered that rage comic-era picture.

FiOS makes the most sense to follow the naming convention.

AltStore also already exists
