  • AFT. I’d rather have some semblance of standards so I don’t have to deal with fragmentation, than worry about the handful of people who care about whether the client employs encryption, colored bubbles, animated emojis, avatars or any other proprietary feature. It’s a goddamn phone, it should allow me to communicate, not create barriers against it. Hand the standard back to the standards bodies and sit on said bodies, or open up imessage if they are so concerned about what google is doing with it/ how google is handling it.

    Now I can’t wait to see how gimped their implementation is, just so we can say ‘rcs sucks’.








  • They built an entire industry dedicated to gaming the search results, so I feel your frustration. Nowadays, if it’s not some influencer telling you to try something, it usually a bunch of topic snobs who need the latest and best (read: most expensive) version of anything - completely unusable for a casual query. If you have friends or local communities with the same hobbies, I’d start there. Or start in the shops - you find out real fast of they’re trying to push product on you, versus genuinely trying to help you find what you need.
