  • I meant Jibe and yes I never said Jio or Jibe don't support RCS. Quite the contrary

  • wait you're right I messed up, let me edit that part out. I swear it used to say that Jio runs RCS infrastructure for Google.

    edit: It was JIBE

  • I think if you realize youve been cooking rice for about 7 minutes you will definitely think in terms of time LEFT and not at what time o'clock it should be ready. "Oh it's been cooking for about 7 minutes then it needs another 8"

  • Timer counts down time and can be paused; an alarm goes off at particular time and can only be snoozed after it goes off. Alarms take into account timezones and time changes, timers are absolute and independent of "clock" time

  • Yes it is, it's been developed by the GSM Association, but Google does have de facto monopoly in the market right now by their Jio Jibe virtual carrier. RCS can be freely implemented by carriers and device manufacturers independently of that, but so far only Samsung, T-Mobile USA and Verizon did so — everyone else uses Google's Messages. Importantly, different RCS implementations can talk to each other, just like email servers, or Lemmy instances.

    Apple has been encouraged to enable RCS compatibility in iMessage in a loud campaign by Google, but they are obviously not very eager to do that, as their own research shows the closedness of Apple ecosystem and messaging system is a main driving factor of sales. This has been revealed in the Apple vs Epic Games case hearings

  • Greenwashing, can't believe this even is a question

  • You mean the other way round? Wii U hardware being lower than Switch software

  • This is fair, but let's hope this doesn't make the FTA-related apps un-uninstallable

  • Or you can enable "Annoyances" filters in uBlock Origin for the same effect

  • weird, it's common where I live (Poland, Europe)

    edit: common may be an exaggeration, I could probably list like 5 or 6 homes of my family members and close friends which do have it

    edit2: oh we also have Fairy so this may as well be in Poland lol

    edit3: the label in the photo is in English so it's unlikely

  • what does the Fairy bottle have to do with it supposedly not being a garburator

  • Then why did you recommend FreeTube in the first place? I'm fully aware of LibreTube, Newpipe and Grayjay, but I choose to use Revanced due to factors mentioned in other comment. Using an alternative clients such as those listed above does not solve the global issue of Google making fucking stupid decisions, even if you yourself are not touched by them because you happen to use Newpipe

  • Then how is this helpful for a feature on the mobile app?

  • This reminds of how Xiaomi introduced sorting by colours of the app icon in their launcher. But that was different and I believe actually helped getting around
