[02:41:58] <chromas> Yep. It was pretty great, except I had a lot of problems with Opera 12 and slashdot
[02:42:13] <chromas> It would randomly lock up for a bit
[02:42:59] <Subsentient> Might be why they ditched it, didn't wanna spend the development money to fix issues like that
[03:37:00] <AzumaHazuki> I don't believe that's actually APK and I don't care if it is
[03:37:45] <chromas> They're both spammers with mental issues. That's what counts.

The bright colors—in this case, red, white, and blue—may help make the bear a target for hunters. It ruins the bear’s natural camouflage, Williams said. Plus, there’s the concern that comes with the fact that a human had to be close enough to the bear to put the sticker there in the first place."
