That's not something they care about, as if they did, they would have already opened it.

Why would Google say yes?

Google totally controls that ability. Apple is not any better here, but it's weird to call out Apple as being the only meanie here, when both Apple and Google are equally terrible when it comes to cross-platform e2e messaging. Thankful

RCS is not really an open standard though. If you want encrypted RCS with android phones, you can't unless Google lets you. At least that was true last I checked. I'm guessing it hasn't changed.

You know that they occasionally have actual RCE's right?

Agreed, unless they can add a hook(some cool unique feature/thing to get them traction). It probably won't work out well.

Yes technically you can go to prison for securities fraud, and everything could be securities fraud, if you have multiple share holders and play in that sandbox. A small random startup is unlikely to play in the securities sandbox until t

because web server, browser and protocol developers, after implementing HTTP Basic Auth punted and said this is gross and hard. They then gave up on the problem. The problem still existed, and other developers took a stab, but they weren&#x

If your software is in such heavy development that you need changes all the time, it should never be in a stable distro to begin with, it's not stable code. Overall(last I checked), the testing is roughly equal between the stable distr
227.
by zie 2y ago
Why do you think that? That seems like a pretty extreme viewpoint to me. Stability is a great thing for busy professionals that want stuff to just work. How many apps have you upgraded that have crashed and burned from the update? Me, a lot

agreed. Like I said, if what you want to do is within NixOS's well supported wheelhouse, it's great to have a fully declarative OS, that includes application configuration.

ZFS has been in production use for almost 20 years now. BTRFS is not fully fit for production, according to BTRFS: https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/btrfs-man5.html#raid5... Some simple use-cases are arguabl

So a server that's dedicated to well-supported(by nixos) services running NixOS is awesome. it's easy to upgrade every 6 months and generally very painless. Everything else is a PITA though. Of course if you use an LTS like Debian

Yes, Google closes business accounts too. Just search on HN, there are plenty of instances of this happening that have made it to HN. More if you go dig around on the web. In my experience Cloud provider reliability is about the same as sel

I guess? 25k rows with 10 columns shouldn't be a big deal. LibreOffice, Excel, Numbers, they all handled this data without trouble. It is 99% static data, it would be updated maybe once a year if that. The point was to give users somet
