It sounds like you are an outlier. Believe it or not, it’s still one of the most popular messaging systems in the world. People send 23 billion text messages every day.

My job in life are public facing, so it is absolutely essential, whether I like it or not.

Looks interesting, thanks.

Great photo!

I might try that. I have to use windows through my employer, which is really where the need lies. I may try to set up WSL.

I’ve had a couple conversations on here about FOSS RCS and it looks like it’s just not possible because of Google’s obstruction. Pretty disappointing.

Intuit donated invested $1million

probably because FOSS devs think SMS needs to die, and I agree

Be that as it may, people send 23 billion text messages every day. If you’re at all involved with the public, it’s absolutely unavoidable.

I kinda like it.

Also I had no idea Apple had so much email. I sort of thought gmail would have the top spot.

Edit: I see, it’s measuring clients. I assumed it was the host/provider

Just literal fraud

Freeloaders

That’s a lot of touching

They are only inventing tools. They are not inventing the concept of inventing tools.

Still very cool and impressive

Keep going… What drives turnout? Citizen campaigning.

Maybe if leftists didn’t spend the year leading up to the election protesting the better candidate we would have seen a better outcome.

Kinda what I was going for but I don’t think I phrased it right.

I’d be in favor of a phase out of IP law. It would probably require a LOT more public investment in the arts and sciences. But public funding would lead to public ownership, so society would benefit on the whole.

No one would be getting rich off of creative works, but we would want to be sure that people will still make a living.

Or UBI would work even better.

Looks itchy

Do you have the phrase “out of the frying pan and into the fire” in Europe?

Mildly approaching an actually useful AI in the stupidest way possible.

I don’t need an AI shortcut in Excel that is just a chatbot. If it could actually perform complex redundant tasks, then it would be useful.

“Copilot, please create 3 charts of the most important data and create a Powerpoint with animations to present it.”

Until it can do things like that, it’s useless to me.

Honest question: what do people actually use this for?

You can actually see this in action. At sunrise or sunset, it is possible to look directly toward the sun. That’s because more light is scattered at that angle and so it is less direct. At noon, the same sun will sear your eyes.

Cool, money is more important than freedom anyway./s
