      What a garbage way to promote your cloud AI.

      Just like how Meta AI is in WhatsApp. And normal users are liking the convience of it.

      Looks like it doesn’t do RCS

        Nothing does :(

        Beeper is built on matrix and uses a bridge to RCS, so I’ve thought of using that in place of Google messages, but you have to link it with Google messages, so it doesn’t really help me with escaping Google

        Google are assholes and refuse to actually build an open standard that can replace SMS

          I’m not sure if I want Google to be the ones to do that. Ideally there would be some involvement from a proper standardization body like ITU.

          But in my shallow understanding of RCS, it seems like a good candidate. I thought I read that Apple was starting to roll it out this year…

              Hey thanks for the deep context & lore, that was refreshingly orienting!

            Yeah, that’s fair. I just meant they’ve built RCS, and kinda presented it as a replacement, but it’s a walled garden they’ve built, unlike SMS.

            I didn’t know Apple might roll it out! That’d be cool! Though really what I want is just the possibility of an open source client

    Use signal or element.

    Make others switch or ghost them. If they want to continue talking to you, then they can spend 5 seconds making sure your data isn’t mined by AI.

      This seems good and all on paper but in the real world this means you become a social outcast that’s left out of everything

      I’m ok with continuing to talk to people who aren’t ready or willing to understand that.

    I quite like using it in Messages. But I wish it was consistent with activating on the phone via the home button and that the history carried over as I don’t think the latter it does.
