particularly if you want to support all of the message-body features, of which there are MANY. it's very business-comms oriented. I broadly expect third-party RCS apps to drop that though, like how essentially none support all of MMS.

For anyone unfamiliar with this strategy: it's literally just "clone from a /path".

Part agreed (E2EE by default so broadly is a great achievement), part "I think this is likely a massive communications power-grab on Google's part and not all that altruistic". They control almost literally all of the serv

Generally yes. But also it is sometimes like half the cost or less for comparative heating power, and for air-heating an apartment in the middle simply doesn't need anywhere near as much, and you literally heat each other so actually-f

Yep - where I am, it's moderately more expensive to use our heat pump to heat the house (at basically any time of year) than to use the gas furnace, and approximately nobody has a heat pump water heater. And with datacenters trying to

In most ways, yes. E.g. you clean yourself before you get in, so the water remains relatively clean after a few people. Unlike a hot tub though it's drained between uses, so it doesn't really have some of the nastier issues that

Year, back prior to the Zuckification I'd say it was a very clear upgrade for everyone in essentially every way. Dirt cheap (much less than even minimal texting), installable everywhere, adopted solid E2EE far ahead of basically every

It depends heavily on country, yes. USA is extremely light on WhatsApp, and MMS use is widespread (and has been free for a long time now, and SMS even longer). RCS is a mostly silent upgrade for USA. I'm not sure which of the two is

It has it in its current documentation (maybe 3.0 too? I forget, but it's new this year), and Apple and Google have had messages to themselves encrypted for a while (but not to each other, which is what the RCS docs are intended to r

Ah, yeah, agreed - "source available" fits that much better. I'm pretty sure that's the same for immich (which is also from FUTO). Thank you for the details! That lays it out nicely for anyone else passing through.

The source is here: https://gitlab.futo.org/keyboard/latinime Featured prominently in the "Source Code" container on https://keyboard.futo.tech/ AFAIK everything FUTO makes is open source? I

Spam is, rather definitionally, undesired marketing. If they don't desire it, it's spam for them. And they rather clearly do not desire it. (You could also go with the stronger "unrequested marketing" definition, which m

Probably speaking as someone who has used nexusmods in the past decade. Their monetization stuff is on the "lolwhat, that's kinda excessive" side of things.

Spotify definitely has a better claim for "mainstream", but Epic's store/game-app takes the cake for me. Stunningly slow and bad.

And accessibilize it. Pixel perfect per zoom level per language per font variant per font. Don't forget increased-contrast too!

It very much depends on the people and the relationship. Through many years, I've swung a few hundred$+ in either direction with a bunch of people, thousands with a couple. I much prefer zero stress - if money is tight, we just don&#x2

It's so weird to me that this kind of thing wasn't a day-1 kind of thing. Android's has loads of issues too[1], not least of which is that you need to manually enable it. 1: you can't get access to actions or details in

Prefetching applies to SSDs too, and that's generally sequential in some sense.

Absolutely, the ones that are clearly trying more than make up for the rest imo, and some are stunning. There are a lot of them. And many of the rest are just having a bad brain day and need help rubber-ducking to see the thing right in f

One of my favorites is spending nearly 10 minutes trying to get someone to read a single word on their screen correctly, in a dialog box that was blocking them, containing fewer than 10 words, so I could find the cause of their problem. Af

You can add CVE info later in a git note, if you want something git-managed to point to it. Might take some habit-tweaking to include notes in log output though, to see them later.

Flawed root detection issues are kinda common to see when running Graphene, tbh I suspect this is just an accident - it very much is not the first time, nor the first for PayPal.

This is my setup as well, though with JIT enabled (which is the default). Crashing at launch on: version 10.10.0 com.paypal.android.p2pmobile versionCode 1160090162 Seems pretty likely a flawed root detection being rolled

Honestly there's a decent chance they don't even know, in most cases, because corporate environments generally try hard to have as few as possible hardware/software setups to maintain. And they're unlikely to proactively

An accurate description, I think. Plus they have trouble leading from one paragraph into the next, or maintaining any kind of coherent direction further. In summary, I think it's an expensive time to buy computer hardware, and I might

Well... yeah? That's describing the event horizon. It's a term roughly as widely used as "singularity". Talking about the inside of a black hole is indeed rather pop-misunderstood though, yes. But it's not like ph
