This isn't Google's shiny new chat app. If you take 30s to look up RCS you'll understand what it actually is and its intended purpose.

Well, guess you're married to Windows if those are your requirements. Proton runs most games these days[1] (but not all). Apparently older Windows app/games run better on Proton/Wine than Windows (better citation needed) [2].

Honestly I'm tried and didn't expect this thread to blow up like this. People can use whatever they want. They're adults. I don't wanna debate. I just shared my random opinions. If I had the choice, since I have a free M

You're just describing a Linux distribution[1]. With the added benefit of being 0x the price. [1]: Assuming you're not married to some Windows only software that you can't get working using Proton/Wine, or don't wan

If you read my other comment, you'll see Mac specific examples. Examples from my own experience over multiple years.

Thanks for writing it up. I agree with all your points. I stopped myself from replying further to the other commenters - they don't seem to be interested in an actual meaningful calm discussion.

You're probably happy. That's great. If you read the rest of this thread you'll see specific examples others point out.

Idk, maybe like not being forced to use their new glass UI? Or whatever new UI trend they'll decide to implement. On a unrestricted OS, I can just switch to a different desktop environment. If you read the rest of this thread, instead

Just my opinion here, after ~4 years of using it at work and daily driving Linux for personal use, including development, for a decade: - The user interface and UX is pretty and all[1], but doesn't quite work as I'd like and I can

My usage of "handheld" was vague. I meant any portable device (laptops, but also including phones/tablets). If you're finding it hard to imagine what you can do with a device that _does not_ restrict what you can do with

There was a comment few weeks ago - I forget the topic, maybe it was the new M-series release or something - that was talking about how freaking fast these things are. And the comment was pointing out how locked down everything is and most

I think it's an interesting area, but I've got no time or energy to undertake such an endeavor. However, I'd be happy to talk about it and discuss it further if you'd like to. Contact info is on my profile page here.

As I understand it, it's not a technical problem, rather a social one first off: you can build it but it'll be "empty" compared to all other options out there, even if it's technically superior to them. Network effe

The source code is locked behind a login though. Is that intentional? Edit: just the web view is locked. Read the homepage, it tells you how to access the code (be respectful though, don't hug the site to death)

MS got hit kinda hard back in the 2000s right? But since then most cases have been nothing more than slaps on the wrist? Have any major companies faced dire consequences for their anticompetitive practice. So why would they stop using their

If you have the top market position already in browsers and search, pretty easy to get people onto a product like this regardless of whether better alternatives exist.

Wasn't the plan AGI, not ROI on offering services based on current gen AI models. AGI was the winner takes all holy grail, so all this money was just buying lottery tickets in hopes of striking AGI first. At least that how I remember i

And who will buy the products and serivces of these "employers" when nobody has a job? See you can keep adding middle layers, but eventually you'll find there's no one with any money at the bottom of this pyramid to prop

Sorry, but what's the point of your comment exactly? It's a famous picture and the article already mentioned it's criticized by some for lacking a focal point. Yet it's a famous and iconic photo that's immediately

Your comment seems out of date. There's no $200-300 iPhone anymore. iPhone 16e is the cheapest model I think? That's $600usd? But there are in fact $200-300 Moto phones still and new ones every year, with decent specs for the pric
