Next time it’ll be Terrorist Children

I trust my cat to not bite me while petting the belly more than an oligarch.

(My cat actually doesn’t bite when I pet the belly, most of the tine)

AI isn’t real, Cats are real, warm, soft.

Cat is love, Cat is life.

When you use an app like Whatsapp, if you try to send a message witbout internet, it gets queued until you get internet.

With RCS, if it fails, it doesn’t get queued, it automatically falls back to SMS/MMS, which is how they got those stats.

I mean, I’d say a majority of messages send on 3rd party platforms in developing countries are probably “sent” while offline, but only actually gets delivered when they are on wifi.

If this were RCS, they would’ve just get converted to become SMS/MMS, which is how those statistics came to be. RCS that gets downgraded will never count as using RCS.

In the US, its a common thing.

Before, it’s actually just X GB data, you run out, you have nothing.

Then later it became “Unlimited, X GB of 4G/5G Data*” with a huge asterisk

Then in the fine print:

*After X GB is exceeded, speeds is reduced to 128 KB/s

Which is just a fancy way of saying: X GB Real data, after that we’re just trolling you with the unusable slow as molasses “data” and trying to get you to buy more data.

This is because these are the older, cheap plans. Like these plans could be anywhere from $15 to $30, per month. The real unlimited plans are not gonna be cheap.

Right now, I pay like $60 /month to have unlimited data + unlimited hotspot at reasonable speeds (like 15-25 Mbits up/down if its not congested) I do have wifi at home, but that’s a family network that don’t trust (long story, but I have trust issues with family)

The current standard requires carriers to make it work.

Maybe someone needs to make a new RCS without needing carriers to also do anything. Because if we are relying on carriers to implement something, its likely they’ll not get implemented for decades.

Yea, RCS requires both the carrier and Google’s systems to inter-operate. Meanwhile, Apple’s iMessage only requires Apple to work with themselves.

Google could theoretically build a Google Messages counterpart to iMessage and skip the Carrier as the middleman, but then it wouldn’t be interoperable with iPhones since it wouldn’t be an “open standard”

Its actually enabled by default in new devices. Problem is, RCS requires internet, and not everyone has unlimited data.

RCS only works when its connected to the internet. Not everyone has unlimited data, and the 128 kb throttled data after using up the fast data is slow as molasses that sites would fail to load and it’s likely a reason why messaging would just revert back to SMS/MMS. (And some people don’t even have the “unlimited 128 kb/s” after their fast data runs out)

They need to make RCS not require internet. Or carriers need to stop being greedy and just not count RCS data usage as actual data usage. (The data use is so insignificant it should not cause congestion anyways)

Americans be like: “sLeEpY jOE’s fAuLt!”

We can make a Fedi-Wiki that requires you to agree to the terms that everything you publish is considered public, kinda like a source code under GPL.

Edit: Lol I just remembered it’s called Creative Commons. Its what Wikipedia uses.

Here’s your cupcake receipe ingredients:

• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of flour
• 1 egg (tastes better if tariffed)
• 12 fl oz of Polonium
• Access to a window in a tall building

Enjoy! 😋

Oh well, gonna go hunting.

Either I’m right and I shot a spy drone, or PETA is gonna hunt me down.

So… just another Fourth of July celebration?

But instead, it’s 365/366 day of the year, every year?

This is great news! For the firearms industry, that is. 👀

If this were announced in the US, given the number of civillian owned guns in America, birds in the US will soon be extinct.

Mind control will eventually happen.

I don’t mean like propaganda, that always existed, I mean like actually controlling someone.

You don’t need to feae betrayal if they have a specific program in the brain that will only obey your commands

Any one who tries to make accusations of a person being mind controlled or accusing the government of attemping to mind controlled them will be declared “mentally ill” then detained and be forcibly “treated”, whete in fact, they were being locked up in some lab the mind control technology is used on their brain.

Free-will* would be over. Humanity would be over.

Free-will as in “the brain can make decisions”, not as in “free will vs determinism”.

I’m naming my torrent client “AI” and now I have the right to download a car.

Usually, organizations would want to manage all of then from a single interface and keep the devices locked down. Chromebooks usually won’t allow you to tamper with the OS in any way. (not easily, anyways)

I mean, you can’t have kids playing video games on a school-issued laptop in the back of the classroom, right?

Plus, only a large corporation could even provide the device support like repairs and stuff. Unless small companies can manage to provide support for schools around the country (or even the world, depending on how large they want to expand), for the mean time, its seems like Chromebooks have won. 🤷‍♂️

The Guardian is also the one has a journalist that agreed to meet with Snowden.
