    There is, just too many people refuse to use something more modern than 1987.

    I’m going to save this video for family and friends who refuse to switch. It probably won’t change their minds today…

      Switch to what? I said “viable” but I meant realistic. It’s not realistic that I will convince two hockey teams, my friends, my brother, my parents, my wife, my wife’s parents, my kid’s daycare, or anyone else to move to a new platform.

        Oh, for sure.

        Even though there are numerous easy to switch to, more private, robust, platform agnostic, and synchronizing apps out there.

        It’s arguable that even Telegram is more private than SMS.

        I’m mostly willing to use whatever someone has, provided it’s not one of the great offenders like WhatsApp. While I don’t care for Signal (mostly becuase it doesn’t have desktop sync, yet), I’ll happily use it with anyone who has it. Or Teleguard, Telegram, XMPP (my preferred), etc.

      Don’t be surprised if “I’ve been sending texts for decades and nothing bad has happened” turns out to be a stronger case than “the YouTube video onomatopoeia send me”.
