For sure. I do understand that Google Messages works. But… Its Google. And also everytime I’m on their forums there is someone posting that RCS is broken again.

RCS is what I’m most excited about, if they want to increase users they need it.

Implementing RCS properly and reliably is what I need to finally get my wife to switch. Hope this happens soon and would be amazing.

If it requires Google play or isn’t used often it goes into my work profile which I disable when I’m not using it. That means it’s pretty much Google Maps, and that’s pretty much it.

I get blocked and asked to login to reddit no matter if it’s old or new. safereddit still works though so I’m using that for now.

That’s strange, still $0 for me.

You and I have a vastly different experience then. The last time I used it it planned the route 10 miles from my destination.

But if you put in the coordinates, it works.

I’m not complaining, I’m just pointing out that it is close to a Google maps replacement but it’s not there yet. If you are expecting to open it up, type in an address and get where you are going, you are going to be disappointed. It’s just the reality of it.

Its really fantastic work but I am yet to navigate anywhere with it without looking up the coordinates on Google maps.

They dont know about any of that stuff and they don’t wander in the public spaces of discord. I think forcing the ID on all users will do the trick. They just haven’t enforced it yet.

I have a handful of friends and family that did actually switch, but I still have a few stubborn friends on Discord that do t see the point. Just waiting for Discord to fuck up badly enough…

The service you provide has to be reliable and better than big tech. Sometimes that’s simply not going to be possible. Chat apps are going to be the hardest. Immich should be easy, it is legitimately better than Google photos

I think they should have just waited for Ryan to recover he was a much better choice.

I wish the NFL would take Madden away from them and give it to a competent developer.

Did he literally say he did it or did he plead guilty? Because those are not the same thing.

Agreed

I can’t find the post, but I recall the Graphene developers saying this would not affect GrapheneOS because of the way they have play implemented. Play services on GrapheneOS is sandboxed, it does not have permission to enforce this check.

Ya, I was a terrible developer before, now I’m still terrible but faster. LOL

The DRM on steam means that games actually get released on Steam. The value they provide for me is that I can play multiplayer games with my friends on my OS of choice.

The DRM thing is a non issue for me. If I want to own the game forever, I will just pirate it. GOG as an example - I like the idea but in practice, there are hardly any games I’m interested in on there.

So I just take things into my own hands. Buy the game on Steam if it’s the right price and for the convenience. Pirate it in 10 years if it ever gets removed from Steam and I want to play it again.

He’s right, I stream via Moonlight from my PC to my living room
