The prompt is a quote from a book, and it mentions "opened his beak and sang a loud, lovely trill", and the Imagen 2 robin does exactly that, but both SD ignored it completely, and SD1.5 isn't even on top of the wall.

generate_204 is used to check if a network has internet connection or need to login at captive portal, not sure about Fuchsia but on Android if you don't want to use google server for that, you can disable the feature or change it to use a different url

Apple and Microsoft both have something similar but with their own website, and AFAIK there's no way to change the url on iOS.

I think they were talking about wikimedia.org also being blocked due to CNAME to wikipedia.org which is now blocked, and they fixed it by CNAME to dyna.wikimedia.org instead, but wikipedia.org is still blocked: https://en.greatfire.org/https/en.wikipedia.org

I meant that because iMessage fallback to SMS and you don't know if sending an iMessage to someone will go through iMessage or SMS which might cost you money, that's why nobody uses iMessage.
iMessage isn't iCloud, but iMessages are stored in iCloud, Apple also stores iCloud encryption keys in China. See https://techcrunch.com/2018/02/25/apple-moves-icloud-encrypt...

Nobody uses iMessage in China because SMS is expensive.
iCloud data in China is stored in a datacenter in China where the Chinese government can access any data any time they want with no warrant whatsoever.

shameless plug: you can throw a windows pe file (exe, dll, etc.) at leanify and it will remove all the garbage in pngs in that pe file (even those embedded pngs in high res ico file in pe file), and it will also optimize png compression with zopfli.
But don't use it on windows system files because modifying those pe files will definitely break the digital signature.
