  • In Europe, it’s very normal to use multiple chat apps (WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Threema, etc).

    iMessage isn’t even that good a chat app! It’s really hard to understand this clearly social issue affecting North America from a non-NA perspective.

  • Yeah I don’t get why anyone would want this. Just use Signal or something cross platform? It’s like complaining about not being able to message your friend’s Xbox from your PlayStation. Sure, it’d be nice, but I sure as hell wouldn’t provide a random third party with my PlayStation account credentials to achieve it!

  • And it’s a fully fledged a portable computer that you can plug in a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and do anything you’d do on a normal desktop / laptop. Browsing, coding, image editing; the Deck is the best device I’ve bought in years!

  • I’ve read the specification. Google’s implementation is the only real implementation (raw RCS is basically a dead project) as Google have added a load of custom extensions to RCS that means, to be interoperable, you’d need to use Google’s (which I imagine requires licensing since it doesn’t appear to be open source).

  • What are you trying to achieve in Bash that you’re struggling with? It’s hard to suggest alternatives without knowing your objectives since languages excel in different areas.

  • I love your passion but I think you published on GitHub a little too soon. Rather than pitch solutions, keep it to the problem space definition for now.

    Then, reach out to the upstream developers and see what their thoughts are and how you can contribute. I’m sure there is definitely space for a interoperability library that makes it easy for any creative FOSS app to integrate and enter into this open ecosystem concept but rather than inventing it for upstream, you should invent it with upstream.

    Good luck and stay this passionate - the FOSS community needs people like you!

  • So all they have is a boilerplate script that doesn’t do anything yet?

    I’d rather see this as a collaborative effort between upstream rather than a “layer” of scripts, not to mention their “phase 3” is forking upstream which we really don’t need.

    I’d rather see this project’s team simply working with upstream and sending PRs / patches.
