SMS and MMS are not very secure however. RCS is technically an open standard. it's mostly controlled by Google at the moment, but hopefully that will change as Apple enters the game this year.

gianni ,

Security should be both convenient and default for everyone.

RCS is opt-in. Nothing is changing protocols without your prior consent and knowledge.

I would have to disagree. A duopoly sucks, but it's still better than a monopoly.

Making a list of people to fuck can be a bit creepy for exactly the reason you mentioned: consent—or the absence of it.

gianni ,

You know that's not the same thing.

gianni ,

Hold up, let me just make up some numbers real quick to prove how wrong you are!

gianni ,

SourceHut is crap. I've found that just because something is open source it doesn't mean it's automatically good.

gianni ,

Why? Those are just abstractions. Why do you get to decide at which level of abstraction is the baseline for a person to use a computer?

Especially considering most computer users are operating at a higher level of abstraction (i.e. phones/tablets).

You are not the average computer user anymore.

That’s quite an intentionally misleading headline @hal_5700X

Being openly gay is not a political statement.

I don’t currently use macOS, but macOS support is typically about 7 years, sometimes up to 10. Apple supports the 3 latest versions of its operating system.

Mainstream Windows support seems to be about 1-3 years.

FWIW this thing is nowhere near as powerful as a modern iPad. Different universes.

macOS is BSD-based—so technically that’s been true for about 22 years

gianni ,

Look into Darwin BSD and the Mach kernel. Still alive and kicking.

I can’t wait to play this! Quake II and Quake III Arena are my all time favourite games. God they were just so cool when they came out. Quake II especially was light years beyond anything else out at the time. And they were FAST too!

This might be an unpopular opinion here, but it’s not a myth. If you have hardware that isn’t widely supported it can require some serious technical chops to get things working. Open source is wonderful and a net positive but it can also lead to quite a bit of abandonware, which leaves novice users in a tricky position when things stop working correctly.

I love linux, I use it every day—and it’s way more approachable than it used it be. However it is still very much rough around the edges.

gianni ,

Well put! I really like your point about acceptance of the fact that it may never compete with commercial OSes in terms of ease of use…and that’s okay.

Greg Rutkowski Was Removed From Stable Diffusion, But AI Artists Brought Him Back - Decrypt ( decrypt.co )

Greg Rutkowski, a digital artist known for his surreal style, opposes AI art but his name and style have been frequently used by AI art generators without his consent. In response, Stable Diffusion removed his work from their dataset in version 2.0. However, the community has now created a tool to emulate Rutkowski’s style...
