All of them.

Censorship, if ever truly necessary, should be reactive not proactive. Humans simply cannot correctly foretell the possible scenarios where an otherwise unacceptable word or term needs to be written down and discussed. A million correct removals do not justify killing even one meaningful discussion. That’s the nature of free speech.

You would think that now, more than ever, we (especially we here) would understand how important that freedom is and how inherently destructive any attempt at “pre-crime” always turns out to be.

Hey now, Voyager has a lot of good stuff and important progressiveness. And a lot of Voyager people have worked on The Orville, including Robert Picardo and Tim Russ.

Don’t disparage those girls by comparing them to Discovery.

Blue means the iMessage protocol is being used by all parties. So that means things like end-to-end encryption, data-driven messaging and photos, videos, rich replies, effects, voice replies, etc…

Green means the SMS protocol is being used by at least one person so everything is dumbed down to what SMS can do.

It’s going to stay green, just that green now includes end-to-end encryption as long as all parties are using RMS.

Maybe we don’t need to, but it feels natural.

In all fairness, Apple using AI to transcribe podcasts has been a tremendous success. Like, making four or five mistakes across an hour of casual speech. And those mistakes are usually contextual blind spots (like writing “lift” when someone said “Lyft” the company.)
