How can you get more SMS spam on one platform than another? With SMS they're just blindly sending to your phone number, your SIM could be in any device. They don't know what platform you're receiving it on.

Good, reliable video streaming is not cheap nor easy. I think they're providing a very valuable resource to creators.

YouTube isn't paying for server costs with the $0 they make on ad reads that go from the sponsor directly to the creator. You can just tap right on your keyboard a few times to get past those anyway.

I don't get why people have no problem paying for Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc but are so stubborn about YouTube in particular, when myself and I know many others watch more YouTube than any streaming service. Even when ad blocking exte

Barely any apps get you to pay upfront any more, in my experience most are free to download and it's either a trial, or so ad-ridden that it's unusable without an in-app purchase. Either way, any account could leave a review witho

To add to this, perhaps anecdotal but I've noticed Flutter to be in that specific area of people who like it and use it feel like they're underdogs, fighting in the war to make it the next big thing. It's not the default way

Is this really a common scenario where there's a choice between these 2 options that isn't obvious? I've never considered libraries and services to be two equal options of distributing functionality, and you just pick one of

Apple is not changing anything about how iMessage works, it's clear in their statement in the article you linked: > We believe RCS Universal Profile will offer a better interoperability experience when compared to SMS or MMS. This w

Apple is implementing RCS as the actual standard, not Google's implementation. Which is the right move, if RCS is going to happen, Google should not be controlling it. Apple said they're planning to work at getting encryption buil

The risk here has never gotten near a point of being about Sunbird slowing down iPhone sales by allowing iMessage on Android. Beeper already has been doing a workaround for sending iMessages from other platforms for a while. The issue is Su

Why are Uber, Lyft, and AirBnB being added only now, after their infinite-VC-money heyday is drying up, and when the general public is starting to hate them and are returning to taxis and hotels?

Yup. The shaming campaigns are just a way to play the moral high ground in their effort to replace an actual messaging standard with their own proprietary service. SMS is certainly long overdue to be replaced, but I don't want it repla

This is why I don't buy Google's bad faith shaming of Apple for not adopting RCS. The current version of it that people are using on Android isn't even a "standard" by any normal usage of the term, it's just an
