Yeah I did the same thing with textra. RCS is tying me to Google messages,but sometimes I don’t know why I bother. Only 2 people I text with use it and googles app ain’t the greatest.

Googles tablet app barely tips the scales at the moment as the free one I tried (Join) was kind of inconsistent and the paid ones are too much. But man, googles tablet app is ass too.

I was hoping to be able to change colors for my group chats to set them apart. So this is going to be SOOOOO helpful for the two people in my contact list that are RCS.

Yeah, so many really nice apps that were abandoned since the 99 cent app doesn’t pay the development bills.

Apparently I was the only one that used Relay. Loved it.

I remember reading something from Chef John being against MSG (he was commenting within one of his YouTube videos). But not for health reasons. He just felt the flavor punch it gave lead to addictive overeating.

I’m like bitch, that delicious food you showcase does the same thing, you don’t hear me bitching about it.

If you want a browser that gives you better privacy options then that video is a good one to watch. He does a pretty good job of breaking down most of them. They are all indexed too so you can jump right to any browser you want an overview on. Opera starts right about at 12 minutes.

To do a crappy tldr for opera: unfortunately it was the worst tested. It didn’t do things like block trackers, 3rd party cookies, set do not track, or really anything by default. It has a policy that allows them to share info collected from you with 3rd parties. They’re Chinese owned, so they could be compelled to turn that data over to the Chinese government. Some of the options you can change yourself, but the company is not very trustworthy and you’re better off going with anything else in the meantime.

It’s a fucking shame because the browser itself has roots all the way back to 1994 and they pioneered a lot of browser features that we take for granted now like pop-up blocking and tabbed browsing.

It’s a shame what happened to that browser. It was groundbreaking at one time.

Shitposting is funny because the auto mod they are using to remove posts cites removing the post in order to save bandwidth for Reddit. The auto mod post is much longer than post being removed and contains K’s. I found it funny anyway.

I think they are still working through some issues and a large backlog. I got emails from my applications. Two - one rejected when I did a low effort answer to the question and then an acceptance. Still some growing pains I think.
