But RCS is intended to be an industry standard. A user doesn't install the internet on their phone, they install a web browser that is able to interact with the various standards that make the internet. In the same way RCS should make those other messaging apps either irrelevant or force them to become somewhat more interoperable while potentially making it easier for open source solutions.
That being said, Google are being absolute cunts when it comes to RCS. They bitched about Apple not supporting it while simultaneously making it nearly impossible to have any app other than theirs that can do RCS messaging.
This is what around half of the voting public wants. I'm going to be doing what I can to try to fight against this (for as long as I remain anyway), but the rest of the world needs to plan as if the U.S. is an enemy state and an active threat. We should be given no benefit of the doubt. No trust. Assume the worst and then try and think about how it could be even worse and go with that.
Fuckin' right? Like everyone is entitled to their opinion on their existence or whatever you want to call it. As someone with autism I am baffled by people who are against figuring out the mechanism and how to potentially prevent it.
I don't even have an issue with the way I think or act on its own. However, it's fundamentally at odds with how the majority of society works. Sure in an ideal world everyone would be understanding and accepting, but that's not how people usually work. I wish every day that I could just go on vibes like everyone else and not notice all the weird inconsistent bull shit people do and say, but I can't. Even though I completely understand what's going on, that doesn't make it any less like someone is grinding a manual transmission in my head.
There was similar energy in the mid terms after RvW was overturned, but it seemed to have dried up by the time of the election. I'm always hopeful, but it's not a bet I would take.
We didn't deserve her, but I am honored and grateful to have had her working for my interests. What she was or wasn't able to accomplish wasn't for lack of trying.
I'm in the US, I voted against Trump, I'm likely going to suffer if he is able to accomplish a smidgen of what he has talked about, and I think we got what we deserved and the sentiment from your OP is valid. I know a lot of innocent people are going to suffer, but this is a country of very selfish people. Even some of the most liberal people I have met in this country still have a very selfish mindset and reason for the liberal bent. As soon as they attain a position where they have an advantage they basically pull up the ladder. I'm personally tired of it.
People are going to die, ecosystems are going to burn, countries may very well fall. My only hope is that things only get bad enough that the masses learn an important lesson that at least lasts for their generation and that recovery is possible in that time frame.
It's not that I don't care. It's not even that I don't have the fight left in me. I just don't see any kind of path to a better place without substantial harm occurring first. I will not be happy to be right. I want to be wrong.
Not OP, but absolutely.
You are bringing a human life into existence a decision they have no say in.
