Right? It’s obviously an orchard, not a forest, and obviously the apples are one of the popular commercial cultivars rather than some wild natural variant.

It’s an extraordinary example of Hodgkin’s Law of parallel planetary development that the Ferengi symbol for “bars of gold pressed latinum” is also the ancient Earth dollar sign.

That’s kind of the point.

Clementine originally forked from Amarok 1.4 because Amarok 2.0 changed too much.

    It’s not for your personal privacy, or to spare you personal embarrassment. But rather because large-scale demographic data collection is dangerous.
