  • 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.

  • What's out of the bag? His projects with Lina Khan? His donations to "woke" left wing causes? His anti-Trump statements?

    Oh the one anti-big tech tweet that can be misconstrued as being pro-Republican. No then everything else doesn't matter, that's the only thing that determines his political affiliation.

    Also please ignore he clarified what he meant and nobody arguing in good faith would keep claiming that 1 Tweet was pro-Trump, let alone the guy is.

    For anyone reading that doesn't know the story: Trump appointed an anti-big tech person to lead an anti-trust department (probably by accident), proving even a broken clock is right once. Proton CEO tweeted he liked the appointment, because of course the Proton CEO is anti-big tech.Then everyone started saying it somehow makes the Proton CEO MAGA, despite him being consistently anti-MAGA.

  • I'll be honest, the story was so skewed I'm almost convinced it's paid anti-privacy propaganda.

    Guy is consistently anti-Trump, donates to left wing causes and did so for many years, but has 1 tweet that "appeared to favor" the Republican party (which he made clear was not the intent), so he's apparently MAGA now. It's hilarious.

    Somehow doing hundreds anti-Republican things and sharing 1 opinion that "appeared" to be pro-Republican (and clarifying it was not!!) makes someone's MAGA.

    If that's the threshold then given everything else he's doing he might as well be the "leader of Antifa".

  • You can have them add it, it "only" costs $100.000.

  • 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.

  • Correct, but how does that make it not piracy? Is something being piracy or not predicated on you being party to some deal?

    Let's say a movie is not released in my country. I cannot buy it so I torrent it. Did I not pirate the movie because there was no deal I was involved in? Because that's what your argument says.

  • Your argument does not follow. You are saying it's not illegal therefore it's not piracy. But most piracy, in most countries, is not illegal, so what does legality have to do with it?

    I can download a copyrighted movie right now and I'm not breaking any laws. Which obviously is pirating the movie. Which is not illegal (if I don't share it further).

    According to Wikipedia piracy is "downloading content without permission". You yourself said it is against the wishes of the content provider (which you are morally correct to ignore), so it fits the definition.

    What am I missing?

  • 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

  • Steam has many features that can be looked at separately, but at its core it's a package manager. So I would argue an open source alternative comes preinstalled with any Linux distro.

    You can find, install, and update games with e.g. Discover or Synaptic.

    I don't think many Steam users would consider them viable alternatives though.

  • Isn't "viable" subjective though? If you are allowed to deem open source games not viable, then isn't it a bit hypocritical to judge people for deeming open source browsers not viable, for their personal criteria?

  • Yeah, just like Steam and World of Warcraft, don't you use them? What's your point? Should I leave a similar comment under the Steam guide you posted?

    I personally think it's a little more nuanced than open source = always good, proprietary = always bad.

  • Indiana Jones 5 was fine though
