Replace “most” with “all” and you’re closer to the truth.

Huge amounts of copium from anyone who thinks otherwise.

One of my “good enough for Grandma” criteria is that she can’t click on a link in a Facebook post promising nine million Candy Crush points for installing an exfiltrate-all-the-data app from some App Store alternative.
