Samsung Messages supports RCS, for instance

Low/no patent issues, much simpler complexity

Other Android apps do support RCS. Google doesn’t allow other apps to implement the end to end encryption, however.

It used to be a separate company. They’re the ones who did AlphaZero and AlphaFold too, kind of a big deal at the time.

My tastes are too niche and my hobbies are too diverse. I don’t expect anyone to get me anything at this point because I’m “so hard to shop for”, so cash is way better than nothing, and frankly often better than the useless garbage people get me when they’re trying to guess.

Regression towards the mean is inevitable. The best we can do is hope to model a good culture for future fediverse denizen (fedizens?)

This. The hemp paper stuff was just the final nail in the coffin. It’s why Hearst got behind a big anti-cannabis propaganda campaign.

Yes legalize. It shouldn’t have been banned to begin with. It makes more sense to ban alcohol than cannabis if we’re just talking from a public safety perspective. It was actually banned because the lumber industry wanted to chop down trees for paper rather than letting hemp take the lead.

My wife is disabled in a not-immediately-visible way and our experience is similar. Had one old friendship ruined because he decided she was lazy for not trying to diet her issues away.

“Unalive” is an unnecessary euphemism here. Please just say kill.

Dehumanization is happening often and fast enough without acting like ignorant, uneducated, and/or stupid people aren’t “real” people.

I get it, some people seem to live their whole lives on autopilot, just believing whatever the people around them believe and doing what they’re told, but that doesn’t make them any less human than anybody else.

Don’t let the fascists win by pretending they’re not people.

There’s a book series based on this general idea, it’s called Magic 2.0

Why are you on the internet if you could be eating bread?

If you know how to solder, pick up a Mogami cable with braided insulation and a pair of Neutrik connectors and solder them on yourself.

I made a 25 foot cable this way about 14 years ago and it’s still going strong, despite a cat chewing through the insulation at a couple spots.

You mean ‘dreams’ in the sense of ambitions, not nighttime hallucinations

Germany has free public colleges, if you can get in.

Support for creating v2 torrents is pretty big

Sure dude, however you want to justify your sulfuric breath

And if they didn’t smell like someone just ripped ass, I’d probably start eating them
