Apple Proposes Emojis of Disabled People

Does that include emojis of autistic people?
At some point theyโre going to remove the ability to choose exactly which emoji you type.

The race/gender/sexuality variant will be chosen randomly, since each conveys the underlying emotion with equal accuracy.
This conditions people to be less racist/sexist/homophobic and weakens cisheteronormative preconceptions about love and family.
not tech
What the fuck is the point of all these damn emojis? Who the fuck uses any of these? They're next level bloat that nobody with any common sense asked for. Anything past ASCII was a mistake.
๐
Even ASCII was a mistake. It's not fit for the modern age. 6-bit characters when?
Oh they will be used. Just not as intended by apple.
bloat
5-bits all capital letters is the future tbh fam.
Are you from USA? The country where it's kind of okay to know only 1 language?
No. The reason i think anything past ASCII is a mistake is because computers should only ever have been in english Trying to translate everything back and forth is retarded.
So, to paraphrase Terry, "computers went wrong when they made them for non-burgers, that's when computers went wrong".
Why do characters have multiple colors in them. At most it should just be the font color + the different shading of it for antialiasing purposes.
I will use the seeing eye dog but that is because all I use is dog emojis.๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ
Literally worse than Hitler
Also, a seeing eye dog?
How would blind people even use a smartphone / other touch screen device?
Why not? Unicode has lots of space for everything.
The point is expressing things without words. Millions use these things every single day, just as they used things like >:) before unicode became a thing. It's not bloated, Unicode code point range is not even close to being fully mapped.
Good thing opinionated brainlets like yourself are nowhere near any standards bodies. Even suckless/plan9 people implement unicode.
To be fair, I don't think any of them would give a shit about unicode if Rob Pike and and Ken Thompson. If they didn't do it it would just be "harmful".
That's why I said "even those people". Even those nutjobs respect Unicode enough to support UTF-8. If they didn't, their software would have been even more useless.
You a genuine autist?
No. Are you?
That is, to lower yourself to the level of an animal.
I'm sorry if you're too autistic to read a symbol depicting simple body language. The rest of humanity does not have this problem. Unicode is made to support communication between human beings, not a bunch of raging autists.

If you had said instead that the point was "shits and giggles", I'd have said that it was completely reasonable. But this is total bullshit.
You're posting on an imageboard retard. The whole point of images is non-verbal communications. How the fuck can you possibly not understand this? Stop posting.
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Yeah simple body language for children, autists and the disabled. Like your animes.
I've seen it before. apple has a very good screen reader apparently.
Whatever you say, kiddo. Keep getting triggered by Unicode emoticons all you want.
The point of medication is to cure, but this doesn't make homeopathy anything but shit at it. Emojis are shit at expressing anything but a willingness to use them. And the only reason they exist and the reason why people use them in typing at all is just "why not?"
In the end, that's all that's really necessary. Real people are using emoji all the time in their messages, so it makes sense for Unicode to encode them. This prevents some japanese phone carrier from coming up with their own japanese mess of an encoding and making life hard for everyone else.
The idea that they shouldn't exist because some autists don't like them really holds no water in civilized circles.
Noone needs emojis, emojis are not useful, yet we have 15,524,213,001.048596 emojis, why do you think they need a legitimate reason for adding more.
Only 722 emojis are encoded by Unicode, which represents about 0.06% of Unicode's 1,111,998 allocatable characters.
That's the my point in saying . I don't have anything against the existence of emojis. I just don't think they have a point. I don't think they need to have one either, but really they don't. And acknowledging that people like them despite (or maybe because) they're dumb and pointless and that getting flustered over is even more pointless is a better way to defend them than trying to conjure ways to make them seem anything other than dumb fun for the vast majority of users.
It's not up to Unicode to determine whether there's a "point" to stuff. They just encode the characters people use in communication. Ideally, it should encode all the characters ever, so as to stop retards from making other alternative special snowflake encodings nobody actually wants to support.
When people don't see the point to something, they don't use it. Tor's been available for years, yet normal people don't use it because they don't see the point.
Surely the ability to tell people they are crippled in emoji is not going to backfire whatsoever
I have yet to see a single normie use emojis for anything but the le hood laugh face, the smiley face and the heart. Both of the latter ones can easily be expressed through ASCII while the first one is pure cancer anyways so it dosen't matter.
When people try to shoehorn emojis as some sort of language it's always a cryptic game of "what the fuck do they mean". Emojis are an even worse cancer than chinese.
You don't put an s on the end of Japanese words to make them plural. Emoji is the plural form of emoji.

Ahhh. He's attacking with niggers.
Quick someone call the police!
There is NO use for them in an encoding. The only legitimate ones are the historic happy and sad smilies.
The view times, that they are used on specific platforms, they could also be represented by images like back in the day when every forum had funny gifs for weird emoji. Great times.
Then we wouldn't need to put up with nigger emoji introduced by JEWS. The whole point of them was that they were abstract and didn't need to be adjusted to anything.
Also FUCK UNICODE. They encode everything(including โญ) but I have yet to see them encode the Hakenkreuz.

This post just made me realise that we are regressing to hieroglyphics.
5,000 years of advancement lost, because the greed of corporations for endless money requires satisfying the absolutely lowest common denominators.
A few years from now, people will demand to have public signs and official documents translated bilingually, text or emoticons.

Even high-functioning autism lowers the quality of life (it hinders the ability to interact and form friendships with people. which leads to emotional and social problems). Autism can also include mental retardation of varying degree. So no, autism is not just nice diversity. Pls, we need to face the facts in order to help people with autism and others to understand them better.
That's the ideal, yes. However, the real point of medication is to help the person with the illness or disability. Not everything can be cured, sometimes you can """just""" ease the symptoms.
Is there an emoji for "retarded"? Because only tards use emoji.
This.

Oy vey you colorphobic antisemite.
couldn't they just use gas signals instead?
You can post any image you want on an imageboard. Emojis are a limited set designed to facilitate a limited set of interactions. Why would you want the bunch of tranny genderfluid marxist snowflakes at the Unicode Consortium to dictate what interactions you are allowed to express?
Emojis are not characters, but images. How the fuck do you want to encode all the images ever?
It's an English word now, faggot. Cry more.
...which is precisely why you won't ever see it in Unicode. You're not allowed to express unauthorised thoughts, goy.
>>>/out/
Yes. Every single one of them.
Even though it's an English word, the plurality rules from the original language still apply.
That's downright irresponsible.
Reminds me of Valve wasting time and effort developing a hearing-impared character for Ep. 3/HL3.

It's funny: people obsessed with grammar tend to have nothing of worth to share. (would be the first time, actually) It's almost like if a person focuses on presentation they can't dedicate as much effort into developing the content.
this is the absolute state of tech in the current year. i hope a comet kills us all.
At worst it becomes the language of the lowest caste.
As I recall a big perk of the internet was the ability to be "anyone", you could be a paraplegic head in a jar but everyone online would interact with you the same.

Bell actually was required by law to do R&D, in return for their monopoly. I don't remember the deal, but basically it was good for them to throw a lot of cash in research.

I don't like this way of looking at it. Think of it instead as being a continuation of a classic way of doing things. It may be old, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Of the actual hieroglyphics we do have in Unicode, some are pretty cool. There's even an ejaculating penis hieroglyph.

It's a shedding of the useless bullshit that is marketed to consumers as progress
Indeed. Turns out most of people does not really need proper writing. Mass literacy was an temporary aberration, caused by industrialization requiring fast way to produce qualified workers.
People making fun of the disabled
No, you cannot force somebody to do R&D, they did it because they needed it for themselves to avoid falling behind competition. What they where forbidden is commercializing their non-telecom research
Dude. Nobody's "marketing emoji to consumers as progress". That's a super pessimistic way of looking at something that's intended to be a bit of fun and add meaning and emphasis to the digitally written form of our language. Plenty of people who aren't you use it daily and love it. Emoji are the cyber equivalent of the typographer's dingbats of the printed text era.
You couldn't be further from the truth. When people use emoji, they don't use them in place of words (unless they're being purposefully playful). When people use emoji they ADD them on to the end of the text they're writing in order to emphasize certain emotions they're trying to get across that can be hard to express when you're limited by message length (eg. 140 characers). If anything, emoji are improving the quality of communication rather than hindering them.
That can be done with any emoji though. A good use for these new emoji would be, for example, on Twitter.
Name one valid time this would apply in 2018. The last time I heard people worrying about message length was for texting in which you were charged per character sent. I think most cellphone services no longer do this anymore. Over the internet there is pretty much no limit. There are services where you can even host videos which are a multitude the size of any message you would ever want to send.
