Killing blob emojis was the dumbest shit google ever did

[–] electric 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I miss my blobby boys. They had SOUL.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year 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

[–] EvokerKing -4 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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 "=")

[–] EvokerKing 9 points 1 year 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.

[–] electric 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's Swift, the Apple language.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

It's also perfectly valid JS.

Bash ain’t got no ternary does it?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] electric 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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

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

let 😅 = 3

[–] electric 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] cashews_best_nut 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Swift

Nasty language for Apple-degenerates.

[–] electric 1 points 1 year 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 😃
