vamp07,

I bet they do some thing like make it optional on the iPhone and the user needs to turn that setting on to get RCS. Obviously most users don’t care and will never look. 

vamp07,

I wish them much success but sounds like a hack.

vamp07,

I’ll bet this is not as cut and dry as the headline makes it sound.

vamp07,

And this is illegal and newsworthy why?

vamp07,

How do we know the number 10,000 is true. Its not like the Hamas or the Gaza authority are a bastion of truth.

vamp07,

That’s nonsense. Plenty of people care. 

vamp07,

Arming to the teeth seems like a pretty inflammatory headline. I’m skeptical of a story that starts with that.

vamp07,

I did not interpret the headline that way.

vamp07,

What you’re missing, I think, is that, provided the opportunity, his, belief system would tell him that monitoring our porn intake would also be a good idea. Maybe mandatory software on all our phones to help us all become better Christians.

vamp07,

I have the same gut feeling. People that behave so righteous usually are hiding something.

vamp07,

I totally agree. He is hiding something and the rest of his party is too stupid to pick up on the signals.

vamp07,

I pay for YouTube premium, but it’s a lot of money given they have $0 production cost.

vamp07,

I think most of the stats are deceiving. In my opinion, most of the actual activity or users read, and comment happens on Lemmy, as opposed to mastodon where you mostly just have observers. 

vamp07,

My problem with mastodon is the same one I have with Twitter. It’s very easy to get up and running. You can get a feed filled with nonsense to read but if you’re actually interested in any topic, it’s really hard to get a feed that matches your interest. 

vamp07,

People need to stop being cheap and always pay for enough storage to have their phones and photos backed up at all time. They complain about paying for anything until they loose their data and then pretend they never knew.

vamp07,

This focus on speed in processors and phones, I think, is silly. They need to have good speed and great build. Having the absolute-latest tech, I just don’t see it as essential.

vamp07,

I don’t want a single app that tries to do everything. Twitter should have stayed focused on its core microblogging roots. I don’t know anymore what it wants to be, more importantly, I have stopped caring.

vamp07,

What the Republican Party has become is truly amazing.

vamp07,

Let the finger pointing begin.

vamp07,

This is the main reason I no longer am active on Reddit. I object to them monetizing content I create. They can monetize many aspects of the site and that’s fine but whatever I create is either free to all, or monetizanle by me but not by the host of that content.

vamp07,

Why was this clown even in the running. This party is insane.

vamp07,

These people get death threats all the time for all kinds of stupidity. This is just more Clickbait. 

vamp07,

The party seeks the votes of the most extreme fringe violent parts of society and then acts indignant when that rage is directed at them.

vamp07,

The fact is that with iMessage it’s pretty obvious that you and the recipients of a message are in a private conversation whose contents is only visible to the participants. With RCS it is not crystal clear. That is an Apple advantage and I see no reason they should give that up. Google likes collecting all that meta data about a conversation. Unlike apple they directly or indirectly sell that data.

vamp07, (edited )

Same here, every time I make a comment on this topic I get shot back that the fingerprint reader on phone X is wonderful. In my experience, the only fingerprint readers that consistently worked were those on the back of the phone. In either case, I’ll take face unlock any day over a fingerprint reader. Just another thing that Apple got right and then never looked back. 

vamp07,

as stupid as I think this man is, I wonder about these reports. Could he possibly be this insane? 

vamp07,

That’s interesting I didn’t know it was limited to the main account. I’m a big audiobook listener, and the idea of being able to listen to something but then move on to something else is appealing. I pay for one credit on Audible every month but I have a lot of books, that after getting into them for a couple hours I realize they’re not really for me. That’s a lot of wasted money.  I wonder if the Spotify is going to give you the option to buy the book? 

vamp07,

But this is not released yet, right? I went and picked a couple audiobooks to listen them to them, but it comes back that I have to go into Spotify on the web and buy them and when I go there, I literally have to buy them there’s no listening to X hours, etc. 

vamp07,

This country is overloaded with people that are just bat shit crazy. 

vamp07,

Anyone that thinks, not supporting Ukraine to at least keep Russia in check, should read “The Rise Fall of the Third Reich“.

On the brink of a federal shutdown, the House passes a 45-day funding plan and sends it to Senate (apnews.com)

WASHINGTON (AP) — On the brink of a federal government shutdown, the House on Saturday swiftly approved a 45-day funding bill to keep federal agencies open as Speaker Kevin McCarthy dropped demands for steep spending cuts and relied on Democratic votes for passage to send the package to the Senate....

vamp07,

Will this ridiculous yearly grandstanding ever stop?

vamp07,

I completely disagree with the shutdown. The role of these legislators is to find compromise. But I also have to say that the root of the problem is a massive oversized government we can’t continue to pay for.

vamp07,

To summarize our legislative body is completely incapable of doing their job. To a huge extent, we should be bringing in fresh blood. The problem is we’ve allowed money to place such a huge role in politics that the vote is almost inconsequential nowadays.

vamp07,

Both X and Reddit have lost my interest. I really liked Reddit but X was and is for people that like to be told what to think.

vamp07,

Reddit has always been much better at building community than twitter. Twitter has always been about getting somebody voice propagated. To a huge extent the louder and more belligerent you are twitter will help amplify your message because it’s in twitters financial interest. It’s not even remotely like a public square that it loves to compare itself with.

vamp07,

Yeah I got you. I guess I agree with you. For something current and local Twitter was your best bet. I just think it’s much more about consumption than getting anybody’s voice heard. This is especially true of X. The platform is there mainly for people with an existing large audience to get their message amplified. It’s not there to get the smartest or most interesting voices heard.

vamp07,

Pulling out a gun should have a VERY HIGH bar. This kid is clearly an idiot but was the bar high enough to kill him?

vamp07,

Florida sure loves guns.

vamp07,

Mine is from January 2006 and I am very tempted to delete everything and nuke the thing.

A key US government surveillance tool should face new limits, a divided privacy oversight board says (apnews.com)

The recommendation came in a report from a three-member Democratic majority of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Board, an independent agency within the executive branch, and was made despite the opposition of Biden administration officials who warn that such a requirement could snarl fast-moving terrorism and espionage...

vamp07,

The government will always want more. The reason you have a judicial oversight is to slow it down. If the judges actually do more that just rubber stamp everything I don’t know but even forcing the rubber stamping is a good idea. Justice can’t happen in secrecy.

vamp07,

Maybe. My pixel today would no read my finger but fingerprint scanners on all android devices I have tried are flaky.

vamp07,

You are right. The ones in the screen just don’t work well enough. Why after the pixel 4 they abandoned face recognition is beyond me.

vamp07,

I’ll bet these companies throw everything under the sun into the theft bucket. That includes internal mishandling of inventory. They then exaggerate the costs for insurance claims. 

vamp07,

I can’t even remember the last time I launched the app.

vamp07,

Just let statistics tell the story. If autonomous vehicles are overall safer on the road, that is your answer.

vamp07,

We elect politicians based on their rage, and then we are surprised by the outcome.

vamp07,

“Magnet of hate”. What a silly headline.
