To be clear, I didn't mean it in the sense of "there is a global trend towards less app installations", but rather "I already have 100 apps on this phone, I'm not installing this one too". I think that's a

Apple-Land is fine, because it didn't adopt the broken security model of Android. That has nothing to do with "walled garden" (disallowing third-party applications). Google could've put the same limitations on Apps. In f

Disposing of human remains in a regular cemetery is safe as well, unless maybe you drill a well right next to it. You know what excretes far more E. Coli than a dead body? A living body. That bacterium is basically everywhere where there

It's still marketing BS. Yes, governments certify and regulates marketing BS. The part that makes it BS has nothing to do with regulation. Homeopathy and Chiropractic are regulated and certified in various ways, they're still BS.
