Surfin’, cruisin’, snarfin’. I like food.
While Google is a major pusher of RCS, the standard is owned by GSMA. The entire standard is also published and freely available. Furthermore, RCS messages are not required to use Google’s Jibe platform; other companies are free to use their own. For example, many EU carriers do not use Jibe servers. Not all RCS messages go through Google servers. Technically the standard is even open enough to use individually, but you will realistically run into road blocks setting it up yourself. In any case, please stop regurgitating this nonsense.

Maybe not worth it for you, and that’s fine!

The irony is that I wasn’t that against ads until they got super intrusive and started causing performance issues and breaking web pages. And of course the privacy problems with tracking cookies. But yeah, fuck all ads now, and fuck Google for trying to wring as much ad revenue out of me as possible. I switched to Firefox with uBlock.

Cool idea, but I think long press mostly filled that niche already.
