Google Messages app already falls back to SMS automatically if RCS fails. SMS is not going anywhere.

Obligatory reminder that he didn’t win the popular vote.

But yes you’re spot on.

The “people are selfish” take is an outdated one at best, ignorant at worst.

Desperate people with major problems are often highly motivated to solve those problems, which often leads them, paradoxically, to seek out distractions that make their problems disappear, albeit temporarily. Psychologically this satisfies the brain the same as if the problems were actually solved; in other words, it’s a shortcut to the emotional end goal of satisfaction.

Is it selfish? Partly yes, but it’s not any more selfish than actually working to solve one’s problems in more permanent ways. Therefore it’s awfully reductive to ascribe this behavior to mere selfishness.

Thanks to centuries of research on human behavior & mental health that was done after Juvenal in Ancient Rome, it’s obvious that desperate & stressed people seek out distractions to self-soothe, so they can avoid burnout and continue being functioning members of society. Therefore to some extent this behavior can also be seen as selfless.

The idea of “Bread and circuses” as lavish distractions from reality is valuable insofar as it reveals the primary mechanisms deployed by governments and corporations to control the attention of the population.

By providing highly palatable mass-produced foods and entertainment, they take advantage of workers’ need to rest, recover and feel some amount of satisfaction in their daily lives. This sustains the working population just enough to put up with going to work day after day. And I haven’t even touched on how food and media are used to keep us going to the doctor and to influence our thoughts.

yes I know Apple isn’t a Telecoms company but you need a SIM from a Telecoms company to use iMessage. RCS runs over the Internet too, yet you also need a SIM card for that. Also Telecoms companies aren’t designing message protocols anymore. I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.

what do you mean Telecoms companies aren’t allowed to add E2EE? there is no such regulation I’m aware of.

besides, how would Apple have been supporting E2EE in iMessage for so long if Telecoms companies weren’t allowed?

could be a motivation issue, but not a regulation issue.

not recently, the law was passed 160 years ago and this month the state supreme court has now decided to enact it… is there any meaningful difference or do you just like to hear yourself talk?

they outlawed are trying & succeeding to make illegal (already passed the state legislature) the “intentional or reckless” spread of the virus without defining what “reckless” means

but corporations are people in America, so this would never fly without abolishing that first.

abolishing corporate personhood would effectively do this, since that’s the primary justification for legalizing corruption in the USA.

wow thanks for reminding me of Yelawolf

How do you combat bot accounts and illegal content? Is it moderation or algorithms or both?

Could it be limited to only show the top 3 emoji reactions on the UI (like on LinkedIn), or simply show the number of reactions, and require an extra click to view them all?

What kind of political preferences are you referring to?
