Those letters probably wouldn’t be very helpful, so it’d basically be a $25,000 dick joke lol.

“let’s call ICE”

Obviously they match, but which came first? The attitude or that haircut?

Basically what I came here to say. Message is good but a couple of the examples might not be the best.

If anything, Al was the “nagging wife” in MwC. Also Jefferson, too lol.

For sure. My shower thought is just that they won’t be anything like the simple pleasure of the DVD screensaver. It would probably ads that cycle through.

I know right? If you can find a better one that pays out, send me a link and I’ll happily update the post. I couldn’t find one that wasn’t forced and only went in the corner.

A totally appropriate reaction!

I felt that. It took me 3 overnight sessions to download the “Throw a pie at Bill Gates” screensaver over 14.4 dial-up back in the day.

Spoiler: The GIF doesn’t. Will spare you the time I wasted waiting for it lol.

If I could get that in a thinner profile, I would totally and proudly hang that on my wall as art.

Whatever. As long as I can run LineageOS or Debian on it.

Such a good show. It deserved better.

No super powers, just a smart woman doing her thing.

Constantly. Usually it takes the form of reducing topics to binary choices and/or purity tests.

• “You’re either with me or against me / You’re either part of the solution or part of the problem”
  • Where “part of the solution” means doing exactly, and only exactly what they think you should be doing.
• “If you don’t satisfy all of my impossible requirements, you’re as bad as a nazi”
• “We only agree on 99 out of 100 things, so clearly you’re not to be trusted”
• etc

I agree, but so does SMS/MMS. I’m only comparing apples to apples as far as the default messaging experience on the device is concerned.

I mean, RCS as a technology is fine. Just needs Google and Apple out of the mix. If it wants to replace SMS, it needs to be a carrier-run system.

You herd the group of cats that are all my friends, family, and work colleagues and get them to use a standard app that’s not Facebook Messenger. 😆 You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t wait.

RCS, seriously? Not sure how that is outside the US, but it’s a total non-starter if you’re not using your phone in a Google-blessed configuration. Rooted? No RCS for you. No Google Play Services? No RCS for you. Don’t like “Google Messages” and want to use any other messaging app? Believe it or not, no RCS for you.

Maybe if the day ever comes where Google is excised from the RCS infrastructure it’ll be a viable option, but as it stands ( at least in the US where I have experience with it), it’s definitely not a replacement for SMS.

but it was removed by automod (?)

Deaf people also have a lot more experience compensating for / adjusting to the loss of that particular sensory input.

Yes. In many jurisdictions, it’s illegal to use any kind of headphones while driving.

Please tell me they have to give me a paper ballot if I ask.

Yeah. I read a bit more since I commented, and Alton Brown doesn’t just approve - he actually helped design it.

The cost of those is definitely why I still have a mono-vection oven haha.
