Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.
Friendly reminder that none of these asswipes are your friend :)
Just like actors, musicians, athletes, & authors. None of them are your friend.
I don’t know, George Orwell was a solid dude.
If he’s not there to help you when it’s time to move then he’s not your friend. So you can read Eric Arthur Blair but he’s not your friend.
I hope you change your mind
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
I hope you change your mind
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Exactly. The software is being kept closed source. You have no idea if Google is up to its shitty stunts to data track or anything along those lines. If it was open source then that argument is gone, till then…
Oh I love this one. People say “if it’s open source, no one can do shitty stunts because we can just audit the code!”
Sure, but can you audit the code?
Everyone can audit the code you clown, that is the point. When it is hidden you cannot do this. If you are trying to be clever and demean my intelligence, let me put it another way, Everyone who can use google can audit the code. Writing code is not something restrictive, there are many, many guides out there along with syntax breakdowns.
Do you even know what the internet is?
This is why I shouldn’t use Lemmy while I’m drunk. I don’t have any idea why I would have said something like that…
Not a problem, I am not fragile in the least. I hope your hangover is a short one.
You ever write code while drunk and come back wondering why it works at all?

If only my father worked better when he was drunk
I haven’t done any real coding since the 90’s. Excel meant having the ability to write your own software from scratch redundant.

My point was that everyone can do it, but not everyone will commit the time and energy to do it. This fact alone is why people prefer an open source product over the hidden schemes behind the likes of Google and Samsung. And you right you will never stop malicious elements trying to take advantage of the flaws that are inevitable in the complexity of software today.

That’s not what the word friendly means
