I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!

Is it possible to block the gently caress out of News+ results from showing up in the "normal" News app feed? I'm not interested in paying another monthly fee for another service, and as it stands, it's akin to a giant ad. Especially irritating now that certain outlets have hopped on board and are now behind the News+ paywall.

This bugs me too. News used to be great but now there are just blocks of stuff I can’t read.

Anyone with the latest iPhone on AT&T and upgraded to 12.2 having issues sending pictures through iMessage using 5ge and the images being super low resolution? I have a friend that any time she sends a picture to another iPhone while on cellular data the picture is ridiculously lovely. This does not happen while using wifi and the low res optimization setting is not checked. This doesn't seem to be a super common problem but I've found other people complaining about it. I don't have this issue but I have an iPhone 8 and she has an XR. Doesn't happen when sending to someone not using an iPhone and doesn't appear to be happening if you aren't on 12.2.

Your non-5G phone is trying to use a 5G signal. You should complain to ATT.

Works fine with iMessage disabled or being sent to non iphones.

5GE isn’t 5G, it’s what AT&T is calling LTE now.

Which is also why 12.2 being necessary is kind of weird since supposedly all that did was change the label.

Apples site indicates I can get like $100 for my 6 as a trade in as long as there’s no major damage. I’ve no cracks in the screen, a slight bend in the case but they did a batt change fine, and the ringer is finicky. That likely to pass their tolerances? I can’t really be bothered with a private sale.

Pocket casts isn’t downloading new eps until I open the app. Is there a setting I can change for this? It’s throwing me off how apps have some options in the app and then others in the general settings page.

What setting do I change so that my phone doesn’t automatically play the same song every time I start the car? I’m praying to Jesus that the answer isn’t still “You make a blank track and name it aaaaaaaaaaa.mp3" but I'll bet it is.

My Alpine IDA-X100 would do this. There was a buried setting to always start in shuffle mode I had to enable, otherwise every time I connected my iPod it would play all songs alphabetically.

Whenever I wirelessly connect my iPhone XS configured with Apple Music to my premium ilx-107 head unit that provides CarPlay it resumes the last song it was playing when I shut the car off. :smug:

Most devices see the same emoji at this point.

I think there might be one or two that android doesn’t have but it also depends on what version of android because 🤪

They should see all the basic ones.

Also if you use emoji on the iOS awful app you’ll see whatever someone posted.

I think Apple does a conversion because I have one family group text with one person who is running Android (or at least the chat is green bubbles) and whenever one of us does a tapback it adds a "Soandso: loved an image" as a separate text in the chat.

Which is stupid and annoying looking but at least it works I guess.

Oh maybe that makes sense since I do see the notification when someone loves a text.

Literally everyone I know irl has an iPhone but I text with a few goons and all of them are on android (big shocker there lol) and I noticed that if I use that function it appears to work but it pops up as blue over their green texts and I really have no idea what they are seeing on their end. I should probably just ask.

Eggplants. All they see are eggplants.

Emoji's are a standard aren't they? I see updates in my RSS feed whenever they add additional ones. Each provider just has its own slightly different version of a standard eggplant.

The Unicode group has standardized codes for each emoji and describes what they are, but it's up to everyone using them to design their own.

Wait...so the Goon emojis would be visible to people without the sticker pack?

Would this work for the animated ones or just the static images?

If you have the awful app they can see all the animated ones as well.

It doesn’t work the best but its as close as we have right now.

Yeah you can make animated stickers using Motion and put them in the sticker pack. Might need someone to redraw them into vectors though because they need to be high resolution.

I’m pretty sure that picture is wrong. Here’s a better one: https://emojipedia.org/aubergine/ and it looks like only facebooks not-penis points the wrong way (out of all the companies that matter anyway).

Does anyone else remember when emoji was first talked about? I vaguely remember iPhone being the first phone outside of Japan that supported them and it was touted as something that Japanese phones “needed” to have to compete in Japan and I feel like the consensus was “wtf why do the Japanese have a whole font full of weird smileys.”

You used to have to download an app that requested the emoji keyboard before it would be available as an option.

I hate how, even if you turn auto updates off, iOS aggressively tries to get you to authorize overnight updates with a screen that looks just like the one you use to unlock your phone.

They did it. They got me to accidentally upgrade to the one that closes all jailbreaking by accident. Took several months of vigilance, but I let my guard down.
