  • I really miss support for iMessage style reactions. Now I just get messages like "Emphasized an image" or "Liked an image" with no idea which image was being reacted to half the time, like in a big group chat with 10 people.

    QUIK very often says "Sending..." on a picture message forever (literally), even when it's already been received and responded to. And often fails to send messages altogether when my signal is weak, and apparently doesn't retry in the background. It forces you to try to resend it and then it'll say "sending" forever half the time. I routinely have to ask my friends if they received messages if they don't reply right away. So the core functionality of sending messages and ensuring they're sent is broken.

    Picture messages are limited in size to some number you have to choose in settings. If you get it wrong the messages are guaranteed to fail. A number like 600k or 800k, up to 2000k After experimenting, 800 often fails for me, and 600 seems to work all the time, but the pictures look like crap. They get shrunk a ton. Google's Messages app must negotiate a size with your carrier because it never makes you choose what size to use and pictures look better, too.p

    No RCS. iOS will have RCS built into iMessage and I think it'll be on by default. You'll finally get message confirmations and encryption, and typing indicators if you like that sort of thing. I've tested it with my friend who already has 18 because he works for Apple and it works great.

    I'm about ready to give up and just go back to Messages. I dont like that they track who you text and even send themselves hashes of your messages, but my own personal boycott of the app isn't going to help anyone who actually needs the privacy.

  • When you watch a video using Sync, like from redtube, you are actually asking the Sync server to find the video in the link and send you what it finds. Same with downloading a video. This is because the Dev constantly has to update the code that extracts videos from websites.

    So he knows all the porn you watch.

    (I'm just guessing what's going on based on my own usage of the app and seeing this url. Either that or it's pure spying and not needed at all.)

  • I'll check it out, but I'm also learning Python scripting in GIMP, and I found a really nice batch plugin called BIMP that can do things like crop, resize, and much more on many files at once.

    Although I hear the python-fu thing is going away in version 3.0, and instead you're just supposed to use a code library in a standalone Python script. The python-fu thing is handy because it adds new menu items for the scripts you make for easy access.

  • You're playing the wrong games if you think modern games are all the same. Buy a half decent mini PC, install Steam, and play indie games.

    There are even a ton of retro games on Steam. Not vintage, but retro. New games with old school graphics and appeal, like The Messenger.

  • You need to make a bulleted list because your lists came out as jumbled paragraphs. At a minimum you need to put two spaces at the end of each line to preserve line breaks.

    I'll fix it since you put in all the effort to write that up.

  • It also wasn’t worthwhile because a shitty two pin speaker

    All speakers are two pins. 🤔 They were crappy because they were most often little piezoelectric speakers, or otherwise very small where they couldn't play low frequency sounds well.
