Taco Bell’s caramel apple empanada and the double decker.

ediculous , (edited ) to technology in Apple announced RCS with a whimper when it should have been a bang

I think this sorta misses the point, at least from my perspective. Nobody cares what phone another person has until they try to send that person a picture or a video that looks like it was sent from 2004.

I know that this is only really a problem in the United States, but that doesn’t make it any less annoying for those who have to deal with it. I have no interest trying to convince my 74 year old mother and a dozen other friends/family members to install a different messaging app on their iPhone so we can send each other videos that aren’t compressed to shit.

Most people with an iPhone just want to use the default messenger cause, frankly, iMessage works and it works really well. You know when that default Messages app doesn’t work well? When you’re forced to use an antiquated technology like SMS/MMS. Apple knows this and banks on it to sell more products. It’s one of many anti-competitive practices they employ.

RCS isn’t a perfect solution, but this is a huge step forward in closing a gap that should’ve been closed a decade ago. Nobody cares what phone another person is using. They do care about having a premium experience with a device they paid $1,000+ dollars for. They’re also ignorant enough to blame a green bubble or the believed cause of that green bubble, which is any device other than an iPhone.

ediculous , to technology in United Airlines passengers to see targeted ads on seat-back screens

In my experience, that’s only temporary. The screen will always wake up again on United flights.

ediculous , to technology in Amazon execs may be personally liable for tricking users into Prime sign-ups

How did you make out with cancelling? Despite what people are saying here, I didn’t have a problem doing it from a browser and I don’t own any Apple devices.

ediculous , to technology in Google Is Paying Reddit $60 Million for Fucksmith to Tell Its Users to Eat Glue

Oh shit, does this work for Android too?

ediculous , to nostupidquestions in [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

I wonder if being within those circles, you’ve been exposed to certain ugliness on a more intimate level; with people who feel comfortable enough in their in-group to express their more radical thoughts. Anecdotally, I’ve known a few vegans but have never been lectured nor had views pushed on me.

Hell, the only time I ever hear about the radical, pushy vegan is when people complain about them. On the flip side, I’ve been exposed to meat eaters who seem to get offended when someone mentions the concept of veganism, as if someone else not eating animal products is somehow a trigger for them.

Again, all anecdotes here, I’m just figuring one’s exposure to the vocal minorities on either side of the conversation is where you run into the problems.

Oh wow, they have a version that doesn’t look like it was made for XP? Sucks that it’s buggy.

ediculous , to til in TIL about Muppet, Vulcan and Chicken Claws - different ways to hold chopsticks

I also use the Vulcan grip and feel like I can pick up anything. It’s OP.

BREAKING NEWS: Water may be linked with wetness, experts say

ediculous , to news in George Carlin AI comedy special is 'ghoulish' and 'creepy,' his daughter says

That makes sense. I think what confuses me about this reaction more than anything is the fact that we’ve had all these different AI recreations of other dead artists that are being met with either a neutral or even positive reception.

I’ve seen a bunch of Kurt Cobain and Chester Bennington songs created by AI where the comments are all talking about how much they love/miss the artist, then this drops and everybody loses their shit.

ediculous , to news in George Carlin AI comedy special is 'ghoulish' and 'creepy,' his daughter says

Well they aren’t trying to pass this off as Carlin’s material. The video starts and ends with a disclaimer saying that it’s an AI generated impersonation.

What if this set was entirely written and performed by a human but in the style of George Carlin? Is that as tasteless?
