Yeah… but fuck that rapist, fascist creep.

Why?

.ml is plenty tankie too.

100% not true in the US.

Unlikely to be prosecuted or sued, but not true.

What country are you from?

WTO governs a lot of global copyright issues. I would be surprised the fair use exception allows you to download copyrighted content except for a few limited fair use purposes, ie education. And with very specific guidelines as to what qualifies as fair use.

That is certainly not true. It is illegal. It is often civil, but can be criminal copyright infringement based on specific criteria.

It was created by a person who happens to be Jewish.

Take your dog whistle shit elsewhere.

I don’t get diarrhea every 4 weeks. Do you?

It’s also convenient that Qatar funds Hamas and the leader of Hamas lives in a palace in Qatar.

To be somewhat fair, that represents a very small part of Central Park.

They’re both fucking awful. The everything-is-hustle angle is garbage.

I don’t want people trying to figure out the optimal ratio of low but not too low effort posts to get paid turning everyone into a shill. Chasing karma was bad enough. People chasing money will be worse and less valuable.

Just like Twitter, when everyone is monetizing their posts everything will go to shit.

Do you have a source for this? Everything I’ve read has stated that that border is controlled by Egypt and Hamas.

Or SMS should just die….

And how does RCS work without internet? It doesn’t work without connectivity to the cellular IMS. RCS only works on 4G and 5G. It doesn’t work on 2G/3G service which in the US is being phased out, but still exists in lots of places.

Works over any internet eg wifi. You don’t need to have a subscription to anything at all to use iMessage.

Because RCS is provisioned by the telcos and the telcos won’t let them.

Want end to end encryption, have to use Google Messages, not Samsung Messages, both RCS. How’s that for interop?

RCS is a mess and not the savior.

It requires provisioning by your mobile carrier. iMessage doesn’t.

Anyone advocating for something that isn’t OTT has been living under a rock.

It is controlled and monetizable by the telcos. It isn’t better. And it’s barely standardized. Google sells a service to telcos to implement RCS that doesn’t really work well with anyone else’s RCS, or didn’t.

Go look at the amount of threads with people saying “my RCS message from my Samsung didn’t get to my friend on T-Mobile with a pixel”.

This is not the future anyone deserves.

I guess. I’m American and interact with plenty of friends via discord, instagram and others. My friend group has a private discord and I use DMs instead of iMessage all the time.

RCS is basically proprietary RCS.

It is not open, it is controlled by the telcos, and google has been pushing their own proprietary version of RCS to the telcos.

It’s no better than iMessage. This isn’t a problem in the rest of the world, they just all use WhatsApp.

This is a legacy of the US being out in front of adoption of SMS, and it still being ingrained. It’s largely only a US problem. And it’s not even really a problem.

I love iMessage, but I have WhatsApp and signal and like 19 other apps that offer messaging for people who prefer it.

That was from 2013.

This will be lit when the Tankies show up.
