The fact that iPhones are getting this before Android phones without Google Play Services tells you all you need to know about the nature of RCS. Android has lost all of its intrigue and fun in favor of becoming GoogleOS

Filesystem compression is dope.

Thanks for the helpful advice! Shellcheck is the best :)

Edit: How do I get the ANSI escape colors to appear with the cat << EOF syntax?

Royalty-free blanket patent licensing is compatible with Free Software and should be considered the same as being unpatented. Even if it’s conditioned on a grant of reciprocality. It’s only when patent holders start demanding money (or worse, withholding licenses altogether) that it becomes a problem

I’m pretty much all BTRFS at this point

JPEG-XL is in no way patent encumbered. Neither is AVIF. I don’t know what you’re talking about

Pixel 6 & newer, newer MediaTek devices, anything with the Snapdragon 8 gen 2 or newer. It took Qualcomm a while because many companies (including Apple) were holding out for VVC, which to this day isn’t in a great state. iPhone 15 Pro & newer support AV1 hwdec

Go big or go home. No need to stick with anything from a large corporation if you’re already pulling away from M$

GNOME for sure

Imagine playing games

Yes, it works on Wayland. I’d also give GNOME’s Console a shot.

Pop! OS

Lemmy.world is also notoriously mismanaged and has had dubious privacy issues in the past, such as their Discord situation regarding user messages
