  • I think the phrasing is important here.

    Later next year, we will be adding support for RCS Universal Profile, the standard as currently published by the GSM Association.

    If Google’s & Samsungs implementations aren’t compliant with the GSM associations’ standard then I don’t think this is going to work how people are expecting it to. The stuff Google has added to RCS messaging has all been their own implementation of it and not part of the standard, and as far as I’m aware android RCS gets routed through Google’s servers.

    I wonder if RCS support is Apple trying to appease the EU with the DMA stuff forcing messaging apps to be interoperable with each other.

    As others have mentioned, the main caveat here is that anti cheat games can work if the developers enable the support.

    I’ve been playing dead by daylight very happily for a good few months now on Linux. Apex legends has also got official support for Linux as well.



  • Pulseaudio has been replaced by PipeWire for quite some time in fedora. Since Fedora 34, released in April 2021, apparently.

    According to the wiki page, PipeWire originally came about trying to improve video handling on Linux, the same way that pulseaudio improved audio handling.

    They then wanted to try and handle audio streams, with the idea of converging use cases for both consumer and professional audio users. Namely, they wanted a single audio system that supported both pulseaudio and JACK, whilst remaining as low latency as possible.

    On top of this, because it was a modern reimplementation of audio and video handling in Linux, they designed it to work with Flatpak, and to provide secure methods for screenshotting and screencasting in wayland via the compositors.

    (All my info here I just took from the wiki)



  • The thing about Twitter/X is that the algorithm has always been tailored to get the most interactions, which very typically leads it to feed you things that get you angry. I can’t imagine what it’s like post-musk ownership.

    Facebook & Reddit are the same. I’ve never really used Instagram or TikTok so can’t really vouch for either of those.

    I’ve seen people I’ve known since childhood whom I always thought were really lovely post really xenophobic content. I’ve watched others fall into the traps of “real social dynamics” and the likes of whatever crap Jordan Peterson was spewing at the time. Heck, I’ve even seen people whom have always been quite chill “go with the flow” types try to start arguments on these platforms.

    I realised that a lot of things are posted very deliberately to enrage you. Depending on who posted it, they could also be attempting to control the way you think, too. Getting people angry is the best way to coerce them into compliance.

    If you find yourself getting angry at something you’ve seen on social media, think about why that might have posted in the first place. I generally find that the angrier people are in the comments the more likely it was posted to influence how you think about the subject.



  • Imagine if Linux was supported by all the big names such as Adobe and Microsoft. Heck, those companies tend to (or at least for a good decent while used to) release all of their brand spanking new features first on macOS before bringing them to windows.

    Well, less customisation compared to Linux, but if you’re happy with the UI layout then this is essentially what you’re getting.
