I was skeptical of ligatures at first, too, it took me awhile to warm up to it. But yeah, love me some Fira Code now.

I dunno. I changed nothing else at all, updated PIF, rebooted phone, opened Messages, and like, it was immediately in rcs mode. It even received a couple old messages that has apparently been waiting on it to finally connect. Certainly possible that it was something else, maybe updating PIF happened to flush a cache somewhere, I dunno. If it wasn’t PIF directly, it was either a huge coincidence or some other indirect side effect of updating, cuz that was the only thing I touched, and it magically fixed the problem for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Play Integrity Fix magisk module fixes it. For now, anyway. I had PIF 15.1 previously and my RCS stopped working a few weeks ago. I just updated to 15.9.2 and now it’s working again. I imagine it’ll be a cat and mouse game like everything else having to do with rooted phones.

This is why I scoff every time Google takes jabs at Apple about iMessage. Pot, meet kettle. Until I can use rcs with Textra, they got no room to talk

Awful lot of strings that should have been integers. It is JavaScript, though, so I guess that tracks.

I traded my pixel 6 for a pixel 7 for $20 in last year’s black Friday sale. If they do that again, I’ll upgrade. If not, I’ll stick with what I got and see if next year’s is any better.

Where do babies come from?

My very first post on Lemmy was a (admittedly out-of-date) rant about the devs stubbornness about the hardcoded bad words filter and their behavior in the relevant GitHub issues. And I had people jumping in the comments defending them, telling me that it was fixed years ago, they’re better now, surely that couldn’t possibly happen again.

I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.

ETA: and yeah, I know about kbin, I’ve tried both, kinda waiting to see all the new Android native apps before completely moving over there. Seeing how all this shakes out.

I mean, to be fair, what the fuck else would Mario look like as an elephant?
