  • Here's an incomplete list of my daily drivers since...well, I'm old.

    • QNX Neutrino
    • Mandrake 7.2
    • RedHat 7.1
    • Went back to Windoze for quite a while
    • Gentoo
    • Ubuntu (quite a leap there)
    • OS X
    • Linux Mint
    • Debian
    • LMDE
    • Fedora
    • KDE Neon
    • macOS
    • Fedora Asahi

    I'm sure I've missed the odd one or two (and I regularly jumped back and forth with Debian/Ubuntu/Mint for years and years).

    I used to distro hop a lot, so if I only used it for less than a month, I haven't bothered to list it.

  • SUSE

    I have a bit of a fear of SLES, purely due to Puredisk using them as their base back in the day (before they were swallowed by Symantec/Veritas/Broadcom/whatever). The amount of time I spent in YaST2 and losing data, again and again, made me genuinely never want to investigate any issues.

  • Once again, this is looking for a black and white answer. I don't have one for you. But, I do believe engaging with people, looking at the pros and the cons and not attacking/defending with zeal is the best goal.

    Thing change. So do arguments.

  • It's a bit more complicated than that unfortunately. RCS wasn't made by Google, but they did join the GSMA that manages it. They are pushing it as an alt/war against iMessage, but it doesn't go through their servers as far as i know, it's still a Mobile Operator service (like SMS), so it goes through your provider (and I guess Google's if you use Google Fi).

    I kinda think the smart thing for Apple to do is to implement RCS support (make the bubbles orange/purple or something) and then they've done it and can continue working on iMessage if they like.

  • When this goes ahead, and it probably will, I hope that every single app implements it in a totally different, unfriendly, unautomated, way, or even better, make it unique per person, per app. Or, even multiple methods that are only available at certain times of certain days. It'll be absolutely useless to the government if they have to wade through mud to get at the data.
