Encryption extension on RCS is a non-standard addon to RCS which is not part of the standard. RCS on Android in general is also run through google servers and Jibe, and isn’t exactly an open standard to begin with.

Apple isn’t preventing cross platform encryption at all, every popular messenger (even Signal) is available in the App Store.

There’s a toggle to turn off iMessage, and the phone asks you when you set it up if you want to use iMessage or not.

SMS doesn’t support encryption, nor is Apple preventing you from downloading any number of encrypted chat apps that work cross platform.

If google didn’t release a new chat app every 6 months we might have a more widespread standard in the US already - and yes RCS is coming to the iPhone next year.

Nothing has really changed though, you could already delete comments to make the comment section look however you want.

Going to get downvoted for this, but it’s a private platform where free speech laws don’t apply.

Not to mention the channel owner already had the ability to delete any comment they wanted.

It’s as simple as this:

If my ISP charges me for X connection speed, I should be able to use what I paid for. Bandwidth caps make no sense, “internet” is not a resource that has to be generated.

What happened in the pandemic was the first real test displaying very clearly that ISPs are overselling/overprovisioning their network, and hoping we don’t notice that they haven’t actually used the money to upgrade or improve their network.

It’s easy to point the finger at the big bandwidth sources and ask for more money, but it’s wrong and it’s double-dipping. They’re using Twitch and Netflix as the scapegoat for their lack of reinvestment.

This is a bad take, and the antithesis of net neutrality.

If the customer pays for a connection, the ISP should be able to provide that. Why does it matter if it’s Twitch or Netflix traffic vs anything else?

Or just let us download the actual game/movie/song like the good old days.

You’re probably thinking about homerf, which was the competitor to WiFi. I don’t think Bluetooth was ever marketed as an alternative to WiFi.

So click the regular copy button instead?

If you already have a virtualization host can just use a VM as well.

Just to note, the issue with Dolphin was that they had copyrighted decryption keys in their source code, which is why they were pulled from Steam.

What he really means is “we want our 30% cut”

The quest already runs android, so in theory all the support is already there for Vulkan and OpenGL since it runs a regular-ish Snapdragon phone SoC.

The entitlement is crazy on lemmy.

Google doesn’t owe you anything, video hosting is extremely expensive. There’s a reason no competitor exists.

How dare they charge to deliver you a service?

I did for a while but stopped because it’s a massive pain and far easier to just use proton or something.

Wut?

You’ve been able to download files since like iOS 5. You’re just being obtuse at this point.

Did you even read my comment?

Several NON-M1 iPads have USB 3.1. Even the iPad mini on the A15 supports usb 3.1.
