Then everyone needs to download and make an account on said app, they already exist and none are unanimous.

Everyone has a phone number that gets used for auth and other things. If that system doesn’t change then RCS is way better.

Never looked into it, what’s so bad about RCS besides it being proprietary? Way better than SMS in my experience.

RCS seems to be pretty openly licensed out to other OEMs, definitely a lot better than iMessage.

It’s still proprietary though, a far cry from something like Matrix.

Nice. In the rare chance that you haven’t heard of GrapheneOS, now you have.

Did you get your phone from your carrier? In addition, some brands do that with cheaper phones. Can buy unlocked phones.

Maybe try Google Pixel or iPhones that have terms against pre-installing shit.

Seems like they’re building other things in rust, about time for the server? Seems like bloated servers are the biggest downside of matrix. Does anyone more educated on this topic know why it’s not a thing?

Apparently the replacement parts for their phones are significantly cheaper than almost every other manufacturer. (I have just been hearing this so I don’t know for sure if it’s true, correct me if I’m wrong.)

Overall their phones seem to just be to a high standard. 5 years of support and other components that make them the choice for GrapheneOS (Privacy/Security focused rom that has greatly contributed to upstream Android)

In my experience, Wayland has been the one that “just works.” No disabling compositing, higher than 60 refresh rate on my monitors, screen share portals, and a few other things that annoyed me about x11. From what I hear, x11 is ancient and wasn’t designed to be used as it is today. Waiting on a couple features but never had any stability issues, hopefully more app devs realize it’s existence and switch from x11 like all it’s devs did.

Printer support on Linux is honestly better than Windows.

Thanks for clarifying

Why is XMPP better? not that I dont believe you I just want to learn. From what I heard the XMPP server implementation is a lot faster, but the Matrix one is being rewritten in Rust I believe.

lovely colors, and I love the minimalism!
