Maybe, but it's hard not to feel really cynical about any positive change a poll seems to indicate.

I think people can handle the idea that a phone is not its operating system. It's pretty obvious a $30 product is not equivalent to a $900 product. People have understood that since currency was invented

Not sure what Google service you mean, but RCS is also end to end encrypted

This is comic _gold_en shower 😂

RCS is also encrypted fwiw

I mean, Google didn't actively decide that facilitating genocide was worth the dollars it earned them 🤷

Right, yeah saying Trump equals fauci is totally leftist as fuck lol you transparent moron

Lol yeah you're right, I definitely don't hate Fox News with every fiber of my being. Keep on spreading hate about fauci though, that's in no way on board with Fox News at all!!! ;)

Perfectly said. I'm with you. I do think it's a distinct possibility at some point but this news story is not a part of some inevitably imminent civil war. If nothing else, 99.9% of people are way too comfortable and lazy currently to even attempt to create that sort of chaos. Something to still be watchful about but nothing like some of the comments in this thread are saying.

Right but it's also owned by Facebook so it's doubtful they aren't using all possible means to spy on you regardless of that fact

Yes the 4 day span he was trying to calm down 350 million people means science is invalid

Yeah I've heard this all before. Since I was conscious and reading the news daily, these distortions aren't important to me and I refuse to argue about them anymore. Just know that a lot of people disagree with this ludicrous spin on reality

How about a pile of dog shit? If Trump had literally just let the medical experts speak instead of constantly downplaying COVID 19, thousands of people wouldn't be dead now. A pile of dog shit would've at least had the courtesy of shutting the fuck up.

I think part of what I'm reacting to is the "bragging to delivery" ratio. Google never brags about being the most secure OS, yet many people smarter than me point out ways it's better than iOS.

Hmm, I've also heard the opposite kind of -- at least from an exploit patching perspective a lot of people claim Google fixes the security holes much quicker. But admittedly I'm sure you know a lot more about this than I. I'm relying on secondhand information

I'm just going by the sustained use of "bullying". If I had my way, I'd use signal with everyone, but I'm not going to ask 20 people to change for me whether it's superior or not.

Besides, I am much more of an idealist than that -- I see using a proprietary solution as just a bandaid even if I was up for doing the "bullying". The real solution is a decent standard for mobile texting. I think it's coming, largely due to the EU forcing apple to stop being annoying. In the meantime I'll just use WhatsApp when I have to and sms otherwise. Besides, there's usually no need for me outside of crappy photo res to use anything more than SMS, and in those cases email is easy and standard enough even for my mother.

I look forward to that standard because that would mean I can choose a better app and all my contacts can too if they choose, but it would be optional. Imo that's absolutely the way it should be.

I think I sort of see your perspective after this last message. Thanks for sending that and not being as annoyed as a standard Redditor would have been.

It sounds like the idea of empathy is repellant to you. Bye.

You are lucky honestly. I think my parents double down because it's me talking :/

And I'm definitely more disappointed and upset because it's them, the people who supposedly raised me to be good.

At least you know you're a bully but otherwise I can't agree with a word of this. I'm not bullying my mom into using an app because her photos are shitty res. It's rude and pointless. It won't work. Also if it did I'd still be an asshole but an asshole providing tech support for a new thing. Being a bully is a bad thing fyi

You're entirely missing the point. Communication systems ought to be standardized and mostly has been. You're acting like you can magically install apps on your relatives and friends phones if you want to.

I have zero fear of installing incredibly custom software and honestly do so most days...

Not sure how someone this intelligent can so easily get lost on the idea that communication happens on a network, not on one device, and therefore standards help interoperability... It's sort of bizarre
