If you're wondering, I didn't read the link at all. The fact that malware exists on the play store is undisputed and I think everyone, except you, agrees with me. So I don't feel it requires much, if any, research on my part.
What a quote. My word.
It's a big repository, it's a lot of code, and Google has read approximately 0% of it. Fucking obviously there's malware, it's not rocket science.
My biggest mistake is humoring people who either play stupid or are so stupid that they can barely function. Why do I do this? Is this a form of masochism? Is there a medicine for this? And, if so, is it in-network?
