And this is before you get into people who for most intents and purposes apparently can read, but their brain grinds to a halt when a computer requires them to do that very same activity and act accordingly. I'm not sure of those peopl

Might be an American in denial. The 'meaningful' part of my original comment is carrying a lot of weight there. Most people are literate in the literal sense of that word, but I went to class with people who have not read a writte

Yes. I have Dark Reader[1] on by default for all websites and only disable it when it activly breaks a site, or a site has a suitibly dark theme and Dark Reader thus flips things the wrong way. If a site is borked to the point that Dark Rea

The same problem is present in other parts of the world, even in Europe, although I believe not to the same extent.

It's not difficult per se, but you can't throw anyone into a kitchen and expect food to be made as a result. You still need to be taught to some extent. The bar is a lot lower than playing an instrument or many other things, but t

My feelings are the same. Firefox is barely alive, and what little sustains it is goodwill and people not wanting to deal with Google more than is needed. Yet they keep on eating into their goodwill and do seemingly nothing to build it back

The same happened with Silent Hill 2 and 3.[1] The industry's treatment of its works was pretty horrible back in the day. Not even 25 years earlier, developers had to fight to be credited in games. Lessons take a while to learn, appare

The closest I've seen is 'send file over message service or e-mail', but this has a decently low maximum file size. The alternative for larger files is Dropbox or Google Drive or similar and share a link, but there are limits

Europe doesn't have to use the US one. It's been the easier choice historically, but there's little beyond inertia forcing Europe to stick to Microsoft. Not that that inertia isn't nothing though.

Yes, and I wish we'd give them the boot for not following the relevant regulations.

Given that there's a 'Disable RCS' toggle (and a 'Resend as SMS' toggle for that matter) that seems to re-enable SMS and eliminate the RCS weirdness, this doesn't really seem to be true. I guess it could be in

Imagine a world where your ISP also separately provided an IRC messaging service. Why would you ever use that over actual IRC? This is how I feel about SMS, and phone numbers too for that matter. They're still around for historical rea

This. Sure, it's X% more difficult to do Y in Europe, because Europe doesn't want you to do Y, either at all, or unless you clean up after yourself so the costs aren't just eaten up by the environment or whatever, or unless y

> GDPR as it is means you need opt-in to do this, so it greatly reduces the effectiveness of online ad targeting. Good! I don't want ads to be a thing in the first place. It's a good thing that industry is being strangled by re

I'd love for them to be made illegal, but I imagine certain groups of people wouldn't take kindly to that, so we need to do the dance and have people be tracked under nominal consent.

Of all the things to yield on, the GDPR really isn't it. The cookie banner problem is one caused by site owners consistently preferring using dark patterns over just not doing the stuff that makes you need a banner. If anything, the EU

They should feel ashamed for collecting your personal data in the first place.

For the proposed use case, you don't need those things, except maybe the 140 character thing, but I've never found that limiting, since phones stitch them together nowadays (and have for the past 15 years?). Sure, RCS has those fu

Then why not use SMS?

If Grandma had to install a seperate app to use RCS, she too would probably end up using Signal, since the barrier to entry is the same. The reason iMessage is popular in the US is the fact that it's functionally just SMS, being used b

Between your carrier and Meta, the choice is clear, but your carrier is almost certainly not a saint. Between your carrier and literally and open source message service, Signal being the obvious one, the choice is again clear. Not to mentio

> GSMA spec assumed everyone would download/install their carriers' messenger apps to use RCS Who in their right mind would make this assumption? I'd hate to have to explain that one to grandma.

The 'AMD RDNA3 28CUs' is likely to be the 7600M, as all the major specs are the same (power draw and clocks is lower, but given that the Steam Machine is not a laptop, it probably will have more headroom for that).

Do those computers play games competently? I doubt they play them as well as the PS5 or Series X. We aren't in the days where integrated graphics instantly meant sub 20 FPS on any game no matter how simple, but I still wouldn't th
