Killing blob emojis was the dumbest shit google ever did

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I miss my blobby boys. They had SOUL.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

They were somebody. Who is the new emoji guy? Some generic ass circle nobody.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They're still being updated by people on GitHub https://github.com/C1710/blobmoji You can use them if your phone is rooted https://github.com/DavidBerdik/blobmoji There's probably also a way to use it on Samsung without root since they support custom fonts

Sweet, thanks!

tbh i didn't really like them but the new ones are somehow even worse and completely devoid of any personality

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

They never killed them, they were always stickers not emojis so they aren't used as much. You can still use them through Gboard.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

Sorry, but that just isn't true at all. They used blobs for emojis in Android for several years.

That's wrong. You seem to be very young to not remember them as emojis

🖕 ( nothing personal. It's just the right answer. I ran the code. )

bash: let: =: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "=")

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What programming language are you assuming this is? I'm thinking of it as JavaScript in my head and I don't think there would be any errors.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It's Swift, the Apple language.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

It's also perfectly valid JS.

Bash ain’t got no ternary does it?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Is this gonna be one of those weird cases where evaluation of the assignment happens before the ternary operator?

Is this a prompt to bypass a restriction that gpt claims to not be able to use emojis?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

No, it's an exercise in Swift showcasing how emojis are valid code.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

But this is using string output, of course it will work. Define your variables as emoji.

let 😅 = 3

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Good point. That's still valid as far as I'm aware, was one of the first things the professor pointed out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Swift

Nasty language for Apple-degenerates.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I don't disagree. Apple's funding the classes and there is a ton of demand for Swift devs.

To my surprise though, loving the language. Doesn't waste my time with semi colons and encourages readability. Shame it's stuck to Apple.

true, so 😃
