It’s a feature on Pixel phones

Makes me think, how much water would be needed to extinguish the Sun? I’m guessing a lot more than of it was a ball of fire, which would already take more than exists on Earth.

Granted I don’t use iOS so I might have missed it, but can you give an example of a third party texting app that can use RCS on iOS?

I thought the situation is the same as on Android - third party apps can only use SMS, not RCS.

Except it’s closed down and cannot be used by non-Google apps. Not an issue with the protocol itself, but that’s the reality on Android. Let alone iOS.

The OCR is offline, using Tesseract, there is nothing online about it.

It only activates when you press a button, so there is nothing to turn off either.

There is also a 3D spinning globe, so that too.

FYI, it’s “in 5 years, let alone 15”

But, background is dynamic. You can see it has some kind of fancy moving dots. It’s totally unnecessary, but clearly WebGL was used for that.

It was not screenshots. The entire point of the Death Stranding thing was that you had a live camera feed of a face that passes the “liveliness” checks that prevent you from using static pictures.

Is music not considered art? I would have thought no AI art already covers it

Yeah absolutely, Discord is terrible for privacy either way. What I’m saying is that the verification “requirement” is not actually required for what I would presume the majority of people use Discord for.

Yeah, except it’s not like you get to choose. If you are on the Discord server for rock climbing in your country, you can leave the community, but you don’t have “other options”.

It’s not like the question is “what platform do I want to use for X?”. The question is “The X community uses Discord, do I want to be in it or not?” And of course you can choose to not join, but you don’t have an option to choose another app.

Here in the UK Discord has been requiring this for a while already. I never did the verification, because I don’t access any NSFW Discord servers anyway. Unless you use Discord for porn (or speak on “stages”, whatever they are), there is no reason to do the verification.

This was my experience. Every time people suggest it as a Discord alternative I’m like, have you actually tried it? I hate Discord as much as the next guy but Matrix doesn’t get anywhere close. I tried really hard to like it and give it a chance, but no.

When I’m on desktop I never go to Lemmy because I have better things to do or work on. So I end up only browsing it on mobile.

If the content is still good, and it allows hiring more people and produce more of the good content, then what’s the problem with the channel being bought? Sure, it may enshittify in the future, but let’s not judge them for things that haven’t happened.

As someone who doesn’t use the voice chat feature of Discord, I am always confused when people suggest things like Mumble as an alternative.

They won’t let you send messages without finishing verification

Why do you assume it’s a bad thing? It’s no more a bad thing than asking about your previous job is a bad thing.

You renovated your house? Cool, so you are a resourceful person, maybe you can also be asked what did you learn while doing it. When I ask that question people often speak about their hobbies, or side hustles, or learning, or family obligations, it’s almost always something positive about the candidate or their character.
