🔗 linkblog: my thoughts on 'Apple’s new custom emoji come with climate costs'
- kudos:I am very grumpy about this. Also, the point of emoji is that they exist within Unicode, yeah? So these aren’t really emoji in the way that those icons are useful—they’re just a fun trick that’s helping advance the climate crisis. link to “Apple’s new custom emoji come with climate costs”
