I tried to RCS with my brother today (iPhone user). I told him to set it up properly and… It didn’t work. SMS are still sent.

They won’t. They’ll just substitute them. The idea is trying to force every company do the same thing, as making people work locally makes them more dependent on their local company and less likely to jump to a better job.
Then you can lower salaries (not rise them) and destroy benefits. Also you can enforce dress codes to make it look like a dictatorship country like North Korea.
Is that American hand writing? It reminds me so much of James Hetfield’s, and basically no one writes like that in my country.

It’s 100 % because they don’t really know if bikes can go on the roads it tells you. Their focus is clearly on cars, and they don’t feel comfortable in their guesses on bikes, specially considering that the risks of bad injury skyrocket if you ride somewhere where you shouldn’t.
Arch Linux. All the software at their latest version (which is usually the best one), within a couple of commands, either from the huge official repos or the AUR.
One of the reasons surely is that it’s getting banned from government software 😅
Apple will support RCS in the next iOS 18, so maybe they can just wait a month.
You are making good points, but I’d say there is a point in “size” which no longer a centralised entity makes sense, and it must be divided in order to provide better, independent service.
Everything has a critical size. It would be terrible if there was a “hospital” city for an entire country instead of a hospital per X amount of citizens.
Or it would be terrible to power the entire world from a single power plant, for many absurd reasons.
RCS is supposed to be a distributed protocol, just like SMS, but using data. It is not the same as Signal. Tho, currently, Google is the main provider for almost all phone companies.
In my experience (not in Android apps but in Arch Linux updates) parallel downloads are almost always waaay faster. Magnitudes faster. Using multiple cores? Is it the bottleneck actually enforced by the server? I don’t know, I just know it works.
And if they did it, it’s because it works on Android too.
RCS is not another chat app.
It’s the NEW SMS. That is why it is so important, and that is why it works ONLY IF YOU HAVE A PHONE. Because that’s literally the point.
Having your mom, grandpa, and everyone automatically use encrypted, modern comnunication just because they have a phone is extremely important.
Realise that in places where SMS has been historically free, SMS is the standard.
XMPP, Matrix or whatever will obviously still have its place for more “incognito” conversations. But having a phone number should also give you access to a better alternative than SMS.
Pedantic, but Google Messages’ RCS. And it’s all Google’s fault because they are holding the API hostage, probably because they want to create familiarity with the app so that people don’t switch once they finally open up.
They are remaking all apps as native apps so maybe this problem gets addressed too.
Federation has nothing to do with the problem you are talking about. Moderation is. That’s it. You’re picking the wrong enemy. When any platform gets big, more moderation is needed, more stupid comments will appear. Has nothing to do with federation.

Where’s that tool then?
Or you can preinstall micro
like you preinstall everything else 😅
Mine sure has it enabled. Been using RCS for years. Will lookup my brother’s, but I thought we were already past that phase
