-d is required if you’re on an lts until .1. If you’re on mantic you should be able to upgrade without it

This is the first launch of the program and they’re still in a pilot phase. It will presumably roll out to more states (maybe all?) Next year

Fwiw, the steam snap is open source

In another country where this wasn’t relevant perhaps?

Why do I want an alternative to tmux? Like what’s your favorite thing it gives you?

Yeah I was pulling Samsung from an article I found discussing the issue, not specifically your comment. It said that those system APIs only responded to Google or Samsung made apps, but that was from like 2021 tbf

Ah ok, other replies mentioned API access in relation to servers so I misunderstood the issue. It looks like that API is hardlocked to Google (and Samsung?) devices. Thanks for the info

Google doesn’t open their own RCS API to the public. Nobody is stopping you from running your own server and service so far as I can tell

Sure, but isn’t that just complaining that Google runs the largest implementation of RCS? It would’ve been great if this was handled by carriers, but they never would pick up the task so Google just did it inhouse. I think if they hadn’t rcs would just be dead by now (for better or worse)

It’s terrible that no one else has decided to make an rcs app? That’s not really under googles control

Thank you for this! I completely missed this and have 2 stadia controllers on a shelf right now
