Comment Re:Samsung apps are all like this (Score 1) 60

Do you work for Samsung or are you just performatively being a contrarian?

I know it may be difficult for you to understand that everyone in the world is not you. Unfortunately for you some of us just have Samsung phones and devices, (and in my case a Huawei fitness tracker) and using Samsung apps is the path of least resistance for many.

One man's bloat is another man's important feature. I'm happy for you that you don't want to use these apps. Don't. It's your prerogative. However I'm less happy that people like you think your personal opinion and personal use case is the only one in the world.

So yes, I am a contrarian to you, I have a brain and recognise other people exist in the world.

It's not confusing at all. You said yourself it's a superset. And again it has a specific set of features that are fully backwards compatible. Google has zero control over RCS. Everyone can implement RCS as per the GSMA standard and send messages to and from Google devices with no issue. The fact that it doesn't support Google's end to end encryption has nothing to do with the standard and is of no impact to developers nor does it affect functionality of users.

False. The main problem was that Apple was deliberately degrading any message and capabilities related to RCS. It wasn't anything to do with encryption. They didn't implement some of the basic standard functionality, and when they did they also did client side degradations as well: e.g. auto-resize images to a significantly lower quality before sending them as an RCS vs an iMessage for absolutely no reason what so ever.

Yeah, "LLM's are gods" and "statistical ML networks are good at finding defective code patterns" are extremely different claims.

The people who are True Believers on both extremes look pretty silly.

I appreciate really good closed captioning while having no use for chatbots. Both ends get to call me a heretic!

Firefox introduced vertical tabs in 2025
Edge introduced them in 2021.
Chrome had extensions for them before both of these dates.

Come on man your UID is missing a few zeros to not know your IT history. Don't let the old-guard nerds down like that.
