    Apple gets the message, RCS coming to iPhone in 2024 with same Universal Profile as Android
  • Right, but the features will be mostly on-par with iMessage. The only thing you'd be missing out on are chat effects and the 3D avatar things. The stigma will stay for a little bit, but probably die out over time because the stigma developed in the first place not due to the color of the bubble, but because the color of the bubble meant worse features.

    Netanyahu Shows Map of 'New Middle East'—Without Palestine—to UN General Assembly
  • Egypt and Sudan have a border dispute.

    More than that, though, Sudan is an Arab-majority state. Many Arab countries have not recognized Israel as a legitimate state. This is basically Israel's attempt at getting recognition from those countries which historically fail to recognize it, improve relations, and solve border disputes between said countries.

    What is your opinion on men that make use of sex worker services?
  • I couldn't really pin down exactly what my problem with sex work was until reading this. I try not to judge, but I've always found it problematic and I do find myself feeling like it shouldn't have to be a thing. Anecdotally, every person I've interacted with who brought the topic up always joked about wanting to do it just for the money.

    The fact that it's paid for as a service makes it inherently open to exploitation, and thus unethical.

    World’s first ‘superfast’ battery offers 400km range from 10 mins charge
  • Imagine I'm a car salesman who doesn't give a shit about EVs. I just want to sell a car.

    "This car right here, you can fill 'er up in 1 hour! Oh but this feller, well she only takes 60 seconds, and has twice the range to boot!"

    The average person isn't going to care that the first car is an EV and the second car is gas-powered.

    Most people can't afford to get charging set up at home for overnight charging, either. You're also not considering emergency scenarios where people won't have time to wait an hour for their vehicles to charge.

    The scenario you're imagining is an ideal scenario, not working with the current reality we have right now. The industry is working on making EVs charge extremely quickly because they believe it is a major selling point for their vehicles. Which, for the average person, it absolutely is. If EVs want to outsell gas-powered vehicles consistently, they need to meet the basics of being able to fill up quickly and having identical range.

  • On a local level the expansion of space cannot overcome gravitational attraction to a certain scale, roughly around the size of our local galaxy cluster. We'll always be able to reach anything in our local galaxy cluster without FTL travel.

    overwatch 2 a few hours after launch
  • In summary: (spoilers ahead)

    AI created -> AI becomes monk, this is good AI -> bad AI also created, controlled by single mastermind AI -> bad AI kill humans -> Overwatch created -> good AI sacrifices herself to free other AI from bad AI mind control, thus becoming AI Jesus -> AI now have free will. Some become good, some stay bad. -> optimistic because AI Jesus saved humanity from being killed and now Overwatch is winning the war against bad AI

    That's about it.

    Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit age-inappropriate. Any suggestions from the community?
  • Seconding this. It's a masterpiece. If she's 5, I don't think she'd really pay too much attention to the dialogue anyway.

    It Took 23 Days for Lemmy Posts to Double from 1 Million to 2 Million
  • I'm not super sure what you're complaining about with the navigation bar. It's well within the realm of what Google uses them for. Go look at the YouTube app for example. It has a button on the navigation bar that opens a bottom sheet as well. I'd argue Sync's use of it is more in-line with the guidelines than YouTube is, since the sheet for exploring is closer to a destination than a sheet for uploading different kinds of videos. The only odd thing is being able to convert the FAB into a navbar button, but at least it's an option and not a requirement.

    YouTube Music and Google Podcasts also have an "Explore" option on the navbar, they just open a page instead of a bottom navigation. He probably could convert that sheet into a page to make it more consistent, but it's probably a sheet for usability reasons.

    I think the point about the FAB is good in theory when talking about what the material guidelines say, but so few apps actually use the FAB, and I think Sync's implementation which allows for such robust customization is a good and fairly intuitive use of it, even if it doesn't exactly follow every guideline. It still does allow you to pick one primary action for it. It just also gives you more options.
