The main problem with replacing the stock RCS app is that USIM authentication requires system privilege: https://github.com/Hirohumi/RustyRcs/issues/1 If one's RCS hub doesn't have that as a hard re

Matrix is not better than IRC. It is in some ways much worse. While I get that IRC has not exactly aged well, Matrix' performance and reliability problems are much worse than the very rare netsplits. IRC sucks, but it can be made more

Never, because RCS doesn't work that way. However, someone has created an open source prototype RCS client: https://github.com/Hirohumi It supports only carrier-provided RCS, though. No one seems to have even attempted

RCS in its standard form is to be offered by the carriers. However, because carriers in the most parts of the world refused to offer the service, Google took over that role. https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/17/

RCS has enough features for most people, and it will be pre-installed. After people will realize that mobile operating systems can do modern texting without any crutches from their respective app stores, they will increasingly not bother wi

You don't really need an OS API for RCS like you need for SMS/MMS, as RCS works over IP network. If you want/need to use USIM based authentication, you need a system privilege, so that you can talk to the SIM card. Someone ha

> But what’s exciting about RCS is its native support for extensions. Google has taken advantage of this ability to implement its own plan for encryption on top of RCS using a version of the Signal protocol. As of now, this only works fo

To my understanding, to use RCS on Android, you need to: - to be able to access Internet - to be able to read incoming SMS messages for identification - to implement a full RCS client stack of your own. There is an open source RCS client li

I don't think Discord's usability is good at all. It is overengineered, cluttered, confusing and messy. However, according to what little experience I do have with it, at least it works reliably.
