Hello
Doesn't count, I'm on my phone
That'll stay blue, thank you
Can you tell me more about that save menu?
://///
I miss native apps being the norm (and I don't mean Chromium disguised as a native app).
Thank you for the heads-up! I admit I relied on hearsay on how RCS works, I just assumed it had E2EE. Actually, I did almost send personally identifiable information over RCS, but decided not to, I'll take that as divine intervention protecting me (lol). Thanks again.
I applaud your enterpreneurship, keep it going.
RPG ahh battery
Addendum: Today was also my first ever message received via RCS. I know the person through WhatsApp, but he messaged me via, just, phone number. I have an Android, but what does he have? I dunno, but it works, and it's awesome. I sent text, image, audio, video, read receipts with a device whose corporation is probably competing with the one of my phone.
Ahh, this is what the engineers had imagined 50+ years ago, and we're living it.

I'm hopeful for the future of technology

Disclaimer: I understand this community is more geared towards technology news and not someone's scribblings, but I'd like to bring in a different view on the same topic.
I came up with the idea to make this post while discussing something on Lemmy, and I realized that not even that long ago, something like Mastodon was so incredibly niche, even as a developer who likes niche stuff I viewed it as something more like IRC - good for people who want the "old days" back, but no longer fit for the general public.
Over the past year or more, ever since the Reddit API block fiasco began (I was an avid Boost for Reddit user) up until now, the way that I consume social media has changed drastically, huge thanks to the invention of ActivityPub and the Fediverse. I finally understood the importance of actual free speech, not unmoderated, but ungoverned¹ discussions, where even the most outlandish ideas are allowed in niche spaces, but w
That's, in my opinion, a way better attidude. Let's not scream whatabaoutism, but gracefully point out the issues in (y)our own country too.

The US isn't some homogenous entity where all decisions are unanimous and everybody agreed to child labour. The government has little say in what people who are allowed in to freely travel decide to do, and sometimes those people decide to do bad things.
I'm not defending the entirety of the US here, I'm just agreeing with @[email protected] that in this case, it is whataboutism because you are attacking the US instead of defending China.
Whataboutism or whataboutery is a pejorative for the strategy of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation instead of a defense against the original accusation.
According to wikipedia
USA is trying to rid itself of corruption and slavery, China is actively promoting it. Context matters.
There's Office online, which has a free tier and a "365" tier, whatever that means. Does it mean that you have Office available 365 days a year? Good luck on February 29th, I guess. /j
Anyway, Microsoft transitioned Office into a subscription-based model, which I abhor because I just want to have a piece of software without feature updates, just bug and security fixes. So Office 365 is just normal Office, but on a subscription basis.

I wanted to exaggerate for comedic purposes, I had 500MW written initially 😄
I've used Office 2003, 2007, 2010 etc. all the way up to 365 not for work purposes, but just happened to have interacted with all of the versions.
I have to say, I seriously don't know what happened, but Office 2003-2007 feels the most stable and least clunky versions of Office (at least Word) in terms of basic word processing.
I learned how to properly edit and format text in Word in university in a way that I could, without fail, reproduce almost any text design you could think of. When I was learning it on Office 2007 I believe, everything was so stable and predictable. Now when somebody asks me to format some text with 365, the styles functionality continually keeps bugging out and doing stupid shit that I basically can't recover from unless I create a blank file.
In conclusion, Office 2007 > 365

What a refreshingly reasonable take
Iunno, divine inspiration? /j
I thought that only happened in GTA 5 😕
Somebody needs to invent theme-agnostic screenshots, so that you can take a screenshot of both light and dark mode at the same time
