Framework is getting first-party support for Ubuntu (and thus Ubuntu-derived distros) and will be “ubuntu certified” so probably not.

that still doesnt allow sending emoji reactions.

Either way, it doesn’t matter. The point is, RCS does not matter. It is not necessary.

I’m not sure what you mean. Every receiver has a sender. If you send it to someone with Google Messages without RCS, they will receive it.

It doesn’t, actually. Google Messages implemented this before Apple got RCS. It’s as simple as seeing a message come in that says " liked message" and converting it into a 👍 response for the referenced message. Unfortunately no one has followed their lead on that one.

This is a Mac app and not web-based

“Not so bad” at what? They’re doing this out of their own interests. It doesn’t mean at all that they care about the privacy of their constituents, and in fact they’re one of the worst offenders.

I don’t think that’s possible.

We’re a long way from January and we still don’t really know what’s going to happen outside of a few corporate distros.

I looked into it but everything I’ve looked up shows that it doesn’t really work very well. I remember when Snapdragon laptops first debuted they were showing off Fedora but it doesn’t seem much progress has been made since then.

Here’s hoping SteamOS for ARM (Steam Frame) makes some headway in this department.

The point is, he covers a lot more than just mountain bikes.

That’s a weird-looking mountain bike in the thumbnail…

AI is in the tool chain now whether you want it or not.

I don’t understand what this is even supposed to mean? Because there are AI tools, you’re forced to use them? Nah.

People who don’t use new tools get stuck behind.

Nah. People who use AI slop churn out slop. People who actually write good code don’t use that shit at all because it just delays their progress.

you are going to be dealing with a shitty carpenter who is a lot slower and less effective than one who learned how to use a hammer.

A hammer doesn’t go around the house smashing windows as it builds the house. Its wielded by the carpenter and does exactly what they make it do.

The genie is out of the bottle.

Again, what is this supposed to mean?

AI is not a tool. A tool does what its wielder makes it do. AI just fucking wings it and makes shit up constantly and is wrong constantly.

Best bike channel

There’s plenty of DEs made without AI slop.

No such thing as an unpaid ad. Ads necessarily require payment. Thanks for sharing.

Dear God, please don’t. FF does not want your AI slop bug reports. You people are ruining open source.

All of those companies use servers. And all of those servers run Linux. Linux is the backbone of the web.

That’s basically it. Your personal user experience will be limited to “kid friendly” areas of the Internet.

I’m disagreeing with this. I’m saying there will be no “kid-friendly” areas of the internet, outside of areas that are explicitly for children.

I diagree. Look at Privacy Policies and ToS. They are extremely invasive. Basically they say more or less “we will do whatever we want”. Why? Because no one reads them or cares, and they want to CYA in any and all situations. Now picture you want to navigate to a website, but the website creator is afraid that, one way or another, some adult content may find it’s way their website, so what do they do? Age-gate it. And now they’ve shirked any responsibility for such content. Every god damn website, the entire internet, will be age-gated. Not just Facebook and Reddit. Children and privacy-concerned adults will not be able to access the internet. And no one will care. That’s where we’re headed.

We were very clearly talking about countries other than Russia, please try to keep up 🤦
