This isn't Google's shiny new chat app. If you take 30s to look up RCS you'll understand what it actually is and its intended purpose.

Well, guess you're married to Windows if those are your requirements. Proton runs most games these days[1] (but not all). Apparently older Windows app/games run better on Proton/Wi…

Honestly I'm tried and didn't expect this thread to blow up like this. People can use whatever they want. They're adults. I don't wanna debate. I just shared my random opinions. If…

You're just describing a Linux distribution[1]. With the added benefit of being 0x the price. [1]: Assuming you're not married to some Windows only software that you can't get work…

If you read my other comment, you'll see Mac specific examples. Examples from my own experience over multiple years.

Thanks for writing it up. I agree with all your points. I stopped myself from replying further to the other commenters - they don't seem to be interested in an actual meaningful ca…

You're probably happy. That's great. If you read the rest of this thread you'll see specific examples others point out.

Idk, maybe like not being forced to use their new glass UI? Or whatever new UI trend they'll decide to implement. On a unrestricted OS, I can just switch to a different desktop env…

Inspired me to drop and give 50 now. ~111/day until end of year to hit 10k, 9950 to go. Thank you for the post!

I think it's an interesting area, but I've got no time or energy to undertake such an endeavor. However, I'd be happy to talk about it and discuss it further if you'd like to. Cont…

As I understand it, it's not a technical problem, rather a social one first off: you can build it but it'll be "empty" compared to all other options out there, even if it's technic…

The source code is locked behind a login though. Is that intentional? Edit: just the web view is locked. Read the homepage, it tells you how to access the code (be respectful thoug…

MS got hit kinda hard back in the 2000s right? But since then most cases have been nothing more than slaps on the wrist? Have any major companies faced dire consequences for their …

If you have the top market position already in browsers and search, pretty easy to get people onto a product like this regardless of whether better alternatives exist.
