You mean Chrome? 🤣

Because who is going to operate the servers?

Originally with RCS it was the carrier, but basically every carrier switched to using Jibe (by Google) for the backend.

And it sounds like Apple is going to operate their own as well.

Alternatively, this is perhaps the only way for Microsoft to pressure hardware makers to stop shipping BIOS motherboards. They won’t naturally go away unless there’s an incentive.

Nah it just makes it confusing, especially to non native English speakers

That’s the point. To many, they didn’t matter and still don’t. Which is abhorrent.

Oh, that makes sense.

Google will literally sell you photo books.

Most of the big ones. Gmail, calendar, maps, YouTube, YouTube music, photos, tasks, pixel…

It’s more interesting to say the ones I don’t use tbh: Drive and Chrome.

But to do that, the algorithm has to know the right answer in the first place. Meaning a human has to tell it what’s right and what’s wrong.

Have you seen Google’s generative AI tests? They’re trying to do exactly that and it’s mostly useless.

Any metric that isn’t direct human curation can be gamed.

Yes, exactly. That’s the point.

It’s not surprising, started with the Nexus devices really.

What actually happens is that it normalizes making fun of people like him. I do feel the socialization angle is important, but remember that classroom culture is very much predicated on kids making fun of those who are “different”.

I’m not necessarily saying the content of the picture is ideal, I just think there’s something to be said for clean interfaces that aren’t jam packed with text.

Am I the only one who likes this? It’s much better than New Reddit and Old Reddit.

I really hoped Threads would supplant Twitter, but it wasn’t even given a chance. All the people I follow have either stuck to Twitter over Bluesky’s invite system and Threads being full of braindead Instagram people, or rejected the idea of a Twitter replacement completely (sorry, cohost is not a good replacement!)
