I’ll wait until they kill it two months from now.

So…

Instead of sending you to the website in question and monetizing the creator thereof, GOOG has implemented yet another way to directly and blatantly steal the content from the creator.

Don’t be Evil is such a laugh-riot these days.

Fuck Google and everything that’s theirs.

Their AI and their quick answers, like taking Wikipedia articles, definitely steals content from creators.

But is this stealing content from creators? Or does Google have their own list of emojis with corresponding descriptions?

If it’s the latter then I say it’s fine. That’s like complaining Duckduckgo’s search result of a calculator takes away views from calculator.com. Calculator.com and emojipedia.org don’t own the patent to online calculators or description of emojis with a copy function.

Betting they don’t. They don’t need to if they can successfully steal from other sites.

They have the code built in to their keyboard and their messaging app just in case you switch keyboards.

It would be easier looking in to their own internal company files or databases than to parse information from a website even if they are really good at that.

Those websites didn't create the emojis.

lupusblackfur@lemmy.world on 24 Jun 23:26 collapse

They’re still monetizing off the website that GOOG has now rescinded the need to visit…

Whether they are the actual creator or not is irrelevant.

It’s the theft of monetization that is relevant.

Oh, great…just what we need - more fucking emojis everwhere. How have we all survived so long without something like this.

That’s… Actually vaguely useful.

Why go to a website at all? Emoji pickers should be integrated into the OS I’m pretty sure both Windows and KDE plasma do this natively.

sbv@sh.itjust.works on 24 Jun 18:11 next collapse

  1. I haven’t seen a built in picker for multi-character emojis, like the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (on OSX and Android)
  2. Sometimes the description I’m thinking of and the picker text doesn’t line up, but I’m not sure if Google’s picker will be that smart.
renegadespork@lemmy.jelliefrontier.net on 24 Jun 18:24 next collapse

#1 is more ascii art than an emoji, but that could be a cool thing to integrate into a picker—customizable ascii text that you can search by keyword.

YourAvgMortal@lemmy.world on 24 Jun 21:12 collapse

It exists on the iOS keyboard! (In Japanese) ( ^ω^ )

Although, it’s not customisable

MaggiWuerze@feddit.org on 25 Jun 08:03 collapse

HeliBoard on Android also offers the ascii emoticons

MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub on 24 Jun 19:00 collapse

I think the windows emoji picker has ascii emojis but yeah it’s missing from the others. If it’s only a couple you can add them to a shortcut or pin them on your clipboard.

kinkles@sh.itjust.works on 24 Jun 18:32 collapse

Because you’ve still got people who go onto Google when they need a calculator

catloaf@lemm.ee on 24 Jun 21:28 collapse

It’s more powerful than the one in Windows and faster than installing a third-party one. Also it does unit conversions.

turkalino@lemmy.yachts on 24 Jun 19:46 next collapse

Windows + . to bring up emoji keyboard

Various Linux DEs have emoji keyboards too, I know KDE does

Idk about emoji, but other obscure unicode symbols would be very useful. You wouldn’t believe how often one needs the alchemical symbols for the 4 elements !
