You don't need to be right wing/maga to post engagement-farming on Twitter.

It just kinda proves to me that the story is most likely bullshit, or they were always planning to sell the house.
for when you don't host your own server but you use theirs
Considering this service would be used predominantly for pirated games, I imagine they're not willing to open that can of worms.
Clearly not enough, if they're desperate enough to lock client-side features behind a subscription.

Wait, you can access local files on your phone's storage in the VM now? Is that a new addition? On the Android 15 version of this, you don't have any local access at all.
Android 'journalism' has been dead for years now. Nothing but engagement-bait, inconsequential articles like this, and "sneak peaks" into unannounced features that may never see the light of day (remember when Mishaal Rahman revealed that Google was working on making Pixel phones work as a dash cam video recorder? never saw the light of day).
It shouldn't be too long now before the EU implements its regulation that requires phone batteries to be "easily replaceable with simple, easy to access tools", right?
That's going to be monumental for the lifespan of these devices, especially as phones get software support for longer and longer these days.
Hopefully you will learn not to generalise so brazenly in future ;)
RCS is an open, standardised protocol implemented globally by the GSM. It isn't beholden to an American company at all? The GSM takes advice from third parties (like the implementation of MLS) but acts independently. Yes, Google had a huge hand in the design and implementation of it but Google doesn't own the standard protocol.
Not sure if you're just joking... but it is vastly, vastly better than using a messaging platform owned by a for-profit company like Meta.
When the EU forces them to do it, sadly.
American companies aren't exactly known for being consumer-friendly unless there's regulatory or financial pressure.
Damn, I haven't thought about that 90's Sabrina show since, well.. the 90's!
So because nobody in your life uses it, it doesn't need to exist? What?
Are you the most important person on the planet, or just incapable of thinking that other people's lives might be different to yours?
The point is to take the base communication technology (texting) and bring it to the 21st century without being beholden to some American company.
I don't disagree, but that left wing liberal is just trying to make easy money via engagement - just like the right wing grifters.
