  • Google Says iPhone Adoption Of RCS Has Led Users To Share 'More Than A Billion' Messages Daily, Yet SMS/MMS Still Reign Supreme In The U.S.

  • Samsung Messages is just a slightly modified Google Messages and as far as I am aware Google has not allowed anyone else to even do that. Plus last I knew Samsung more or less stopped doing much with it and has opted to just use the standard Messages on all of their new phones.

  • What other messaging apps support RCS and can be used to replace Messages? How are they doing it? Last I knew Google did not male the RCS API open to app developers.

  • That's great Google. Since you made such a big stink about Apple supporting RCS that means you will let other apps on Android to use RCS, right?

    Right!?!??

  • Hell yeah. Someone with "fuck you" money saying, well, fuck you. I'm not saying we don't all need to do our part in this of course. I just know that if I didn't have to work as much as I do to try and get by I'd be even more up these people's asses than I already am.

  • If real-life had D&D stats, what would yours look like? Would you focus new points on any in particular?

  • I have always said if I could pick my stats I'd like to be as dumb as a box of rocks with charisma through the roof. It's like a god damn super power.

  • Used vehicle pricing barometer jumps to highest level since 2023 amid auto tariffs

    Jump

  • Right, but two things to keep in mind.

    If the same amount of money was poured into public transit we could probably get that travel time down.

    Is commute time the only thing that matters and should it be given priority?

    For example, if someone told you that taking their helicopter was a three times shorter commute than taking their car to work what would you think of that? I know you indicated that your car cost very little to buy and operate, but their are a number of costs with that car that are being externalized. The roads that it drives on, the pollution it produces, the space/parking it takes up when it's not being driven, etc.

    If public transit were almost as good (doesn't have to beat it) as individuals driving, how much more space would we have for additional housing, public spaces, or other amenities?

    If you take all of this those externalized factors into account and decide that commute time still trumps the other advantages then that's where you are at and I understand. I don't agree, but I do understand.

    I personally LOVE driving, but hate commuting. Fun car on twisty back roads? Yes please. Sitting in traffic or even moving along at a decent pace on the highway but need to be hyper aware of everyone around me? Much less enjoyable. I personally would have no issue with a longer commute on public transit if I could read a book or play games while I did it.

  • The thing is, how much do we collectively spend on cars, infrastructure, and roads only for most cars to sit doing nothing 90% of the time? I don't have specific numbers but it seems to me like if all of that money was spent on public transit then it would still be cheaper to have a tram coming by every five to ten minutes even in suburban areas with low passenger volume.

    I don't think it's ever going to happen though given the lack of public desire and vested interests at play though.

  • Vibe Coding is not an excuse for low-quality work

  • That is just horrendous. I am not a coder by trade or education, but I do a fair amount of it in my job. I may heavily use copy and paste, but I at least make sure it matches the structure of my current code, and I always include the URL to where I got it in a comment above the code.
