This new dating app will use facial recognition technology to exclude trans women

Seems like wasted effort & resources....

The people on the apps should be able to manage their own activity.

As long as the greater society continues to conflate sex(ual)/genitalia[male, female, intersex/hermaphrodite] with gender(man, woman, trans man, trans woman, non-binary, etcetera) nothing will reach a mutal level of comprehension.

The plethora of false positives makes this technology flawed - the number of females who will be flagged as trans 😅..... the plethora of trans woman who will not get flagged....😅....

What a time to be alive.....

These apps are not created to make meaningful connections. It's to increase their profits and engagement. Apps have been around how long now, and we see a DECLINE in the quality of relationships not their improvement..

RCS is crap, inconsistent, unreliable, lacking, buggy. It doesn't even handle Dual SIM .....

Android needed a native "iMessage" style solution at least 10 years ago.

I can buy a $99 flip phone, basic phone, up to a $1,500 premium device, SMS/MMS will function the same across all 3 devices. RCS however will not. So how is this the answer to advanced messaging on Android? It isn't.....

If Google bought BBM & made it their own when it was still relevant in the consumer space, made it native on all Android 10 devices & later with SMS/MMS fall back, this would be something! Damn I miss BlackBerry....

RCS is not seamless, not native, and it simply is not it. It's the 1 thing I hate about Android, as creative and customizable as the software is, we need more.....I hate what Apple represents in the consumer space and how people often think who use an iPhone which makes me never want one.....

The moment Google saw the exclusivity Apple was doing, Android should have followed suite.

RCS sucks.....

Any LinkedIn alternatives?

We've given up too much control.... the damage is done.

I'll be happy to see Reddit go down ! There moderation policy. Overly sensitive practices, inconsistent behavior, and cowardly moderators ruined the platform....... don't breathe too loud, you'll get banned...smh

New Study: At Least 15% of All Reddit Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public Opinion

I just want more people to LEAVE Reddit. To hell with corporate agendas, cowardly moderators, and incompetent admin. The internet needs an open source platform like Reddit where you can voice your opinion, no matter how flawed it may be, without concern you'll be "banned"...

Second, end users need to display more maturity and stop being so sensitive.....a BLOCK resolves 99.99% of ANY. "Moderator" involvement. "****" words is about all they need to "censor" and even that's questionable. Mods should just focus on actual bots and sub organization not so much the content police, most stuff can be self regulated.....

Lemmy, albeit I don't think the name is good for brand recognition, the functionality is ok, similar, just needs the audience. Even YouTube and Facebook....."community guidelines " ....I "offended" the AI,.... this is dire times and sadly most are not even aware. Without US these platforms don't exist. Facebook wouldn't be Facebook if it weren't for the USERS so why are you micromanaging them..... YouTube videos have to say "unalive" "deleted" "no longer with us" instead of kill murder death... it's so cringe and I'm so upset that critical thinking, having an opinion, being an adult using "curse" words is problematic..... I look forward to Reddit crashing. I look forward to mods crashing as well. They ruined the open space to speak freely.... but again the massess go along to get along and they continue to win.......

T-Mobile users thought they had a lifetime price lock—guess what happened next

T-Mobile is trying to retrofit this bs, gaslighting people, well trying to based purely on greed. This " pay your last months bill " is something new.

It was both implied and understood when I selected that plan that the price would not change as long as we kept the plan. There was no promise or guarantee. This was an agreement.

Because my rate would not change this directly influenced how I did business with T-Mobile AND their competitors by deciding to upgrade, accept a promotion, decline a competitors offer, remain a customer, remain on my plan versus newer ones, etcetera.

Are people being wilfully obtuse or just dense. If the Price Lock / UN- Contract always had a 60 day "promise" this would have been brought up years ago. In fact, it states (ed) the opposite and the rates should not be changing. The way T-Mobile is handling this is disgusting. I could respect them more had they said " we are breaking the terms we proctored to you and will pay all penalities and fines associated both civil and arbitration, we also recognize how this violates consumer trust, we are officially the company we keep " - The Re-Carrier

This's why I hate Reddit and r/worldnews

I wish more people would get off of Reddit and those same topics can all be in a neutral location. Let the Reddit moderators and their unbecoming Delusions have no one to "ban".... blocking a profile resolves 99.99% of any discomfort you may feel.... online.. from a stranger,,..

Put in a filter that ****** any 'sensitive ' words,,,. Let mods deal with bots. They ban for subjective perspectives rooted in faux objectivity... it's ridiculous. I've never wanted a company to fail more than Reddit. It's too inconsistent, sensitive and micromanaged,,...
