Apple finally adds support for RCS in latest iOS 18 beta | TechCrunch
  • See the last sentence of my original comment.

    It's about the social phenomenon around the imessage chat colors, which is intentional on Apple's part. You must have a social in-group and an out-group. To be in the in-group, you must purchase the correct products, subscribe to the correct services.

    CONSUME

  • Apple finally adds support for RCS in latest iOS 18 beta | TechCrunch
  • Apple doesn't "share a lot of the blame." The blame belongs solely to Apple and their insistence on a closed ecosystem. They intentionally hamstring any cross functionality with competing devices, even features as simple as text messaging. It's important for Apple to foster a cult-like mentality among their consumers.

  • I Would Like To Put Lunchmeat On The Cybertruck | Defector
  • Supposedly, if you put a slice of bologna on a regular, painted car panel overnight, it will peel the paint off with it. I don't know if that's true or not. The cyber truck doesn't have paint so it's irrelevant, but that's the one automotive bologna anecdote that I know of.

  • Average vs Fame
  • I've worked for and with some famous people. It doesn't look like fun, I wouldn't want it for myself. You're surrounded by enablers who will reinforce your worst character traits. The public gets exhausting to deal with after a while. Sometimes you're just having a bad day and don't feel like taking selfies with random strangers instead of going about your day. Public figures can be difficult to get along with in close settings because of all these reasons and more.

    Wouldn't want to be one, I'll happily take their money though.

  • AI trained on photos from kids’ entire childhood without their consent
  • So write a law against certain advanced mathematics. And prosecute anyone who uses advanced math. Best of luck with that. AI is math. You're demonstrating that you don't understand what the technology actually is or does by comparing algorithms to objectively immoral actions.

    In real life, the cat does not go back into the bag. You can legislate behavior to shape society, to an extent. You can't legislate what kinds of math people are allowed to do, it's just not going to work.

    You're not operating within the realm of reality, which is why people don't take you seriously.

    I know, I know, go fuck myself, I'm an anti-human, not worthy of life, etc. I get it, you can spare me the reply.

    Enjoy yourself bud.

  • Embedded viewer for YouTube videos?

    I was a long-time subscriber to Sync For Reddit, until the great third party app purge last year when I just boycotted Reddit altogether. Now, a year later, I'm looking to fill that content hole with Lemmy, and stumbled across Sync For Lemmy. I love it! The one functionality I miss from SFR was the embedded player for YouTube videos. It seems that YouTube links will open only in the YouTube app or the external web browser. Is there a plan to reimplement the built-in player?
