Ah ok, so its not RCS support but rather working around the OS not suporting RCS. Did some reading yesterday and now understand that RCS needs some low level system support to work.

It does work with both iPhone and Android users from my testing. I ended up putting it on when I got tired of getting “person reacted <emoji> to <full quote of what I wrote>”.

Odd it isn’t explicitly called out.

Is there a reason we can’t just all use Quik across the de-googled OSes? Vendor specific solutions only further the closed ecosystem problem.

Quik, an open source SMS app on FDroid, handles this already without needing a specific OSes RCS.

Unless there is something fundamental thats wrong with Quik and its development, I dont see why one would be excited about another vendor specific solution. Quik works on any degoogled android, not just Graphene.

Agreed, just updated my comment for clarification here. But I’ll add that I still own any game I’ve bought on Steam that was pulled from the store. They tend to be on the better side here.

That said, DRM free for the win.

Agreed.

My use of the PlayStation platform had dropped significantly and moved to PC, and now Steam Deck as well.

And now I’ll just cease entirely.

They really love shooting themselves in the foot here.

And I suppose they will start trying to sue Steam when they fall.

EDIT: To be clear, the Deck can run GOG games with Lutris, and with PC I use a mix of launchers, not just Steam. My intent was to point out that many publishers seem to like going after Steam after they shoot themselves in the foot and lose users.

This is one of those water loving cats, right? Breed looks right.

This is largely part of being on multilingual web. It costs a lot of engineering time and effort to try and translate a page to multiple languages, but icons infer meaning without this need.

Fuck you, Linus Torvalds.

Try Bandcamp as well for nonpiracy options. Buy and download FLAC albums from the artists themselves. No DRM

Lots of people use it, I recommend they try ifconfig.co - cleaner curl output.

Zimaboards do not need RAM. They include it (do not confuse it with the Zimablade).

I just use the default hardware with the Zimaboards. Zimaboard 832s for the masters and nodes, and I recently added a couple of Zimaboard 2s for larger nodes as those have 16gb.

I like the boards, they perform well and the intel cpus in them have internal GPUs so for light transcoding or GPU loads they can be leveraged without need for GPU cards. After trying several other x86 based options, Zimaboards are my preferred option.

I used Zimaboards. They are affordable and all you need if you couple the cluster with a TrueNAS Scale box and setup Democratic CSI.

Complying with this shit is nuts.

Is there an Arch fork that is not implementing this shit or do I have to go non systemd now? Because this BS is not going on any of my machines.

Personally, I think this first response nails it.

Linux is not sold. So you either need to force users to install this on their systems, or go eat rocks.

Enterprise distros on the other hand… Need to do this.

Kube makes it easy to have a lot, as a lot of things you need to deploy on every node just deploy on every node. As odd as it sounds, the number of containers provides redundancy that makes the hobby easy. If a Zimaboard dies or messes up, I just nuke it, and I don’t care whats on it.

Uh… Probably somewhere around 150?

Was super interested right up until the AI recommendations bit.
