Because who is going to operate the servers?
Originally with RCS it was the carrier, but basically every carrier switched to using Jibe (by Google) for the backend.
And it sounds like Apple is going to operate their own as well.

Even if you get rid of every nuclear power plant, governments will still pursue bombs.
Oh, that makes sense.
Google will literally sell you photo books.
But to do that, the algorithm has to know the right answer in the first place. Meaning a human has to tell it what’s right and what’s wrong.
Have you seen Google’s generative AI tests? They’re trying to do exactly that and it’s mostly useless.
Any metric that isn’t direct human curation can be gamed.
I like Google products but the search engine really has become shit. I’m not sure there’s anything they can do about it though.
The penis must have a mind of its own! Oh no! The horror!
Yeah, the lack of MTG players is really sad.
Idk, I’ve consistently seen that the instances defederated from (at least on lemmy.world) are either full of trolls or bigots.
Yeah, that’s definitely what I’m feeling. It’s a lot more irritating browsing here than Reddit.
Exactly! It goes like this to me:
“Billionaires and landlords are bad for society.” Hard agree!
“There should be less billionaires and landlords.” Okay, I agree with that too.
“We should kill them!” NO! FUCK NO!
I understand that if society is going to change for the better, that some people deliberately stand in the way and others will inevitably be forced to stop them. But there’s this new school of thought that says “My enemies are ontologically evil and all harm done towards them is morally good” which sickens me.
An act can be justified, necessary, and still immoral.
How would you recommend average users back up their content in case of hardware loss or failure?
As much as I’m skeptical about the unchecked power of corporations, I feel like Lemmy tech enthusiasts are completely hostile to the more mainstream kind of enthusiasm that actually like a well designed product.
Like, you can whine about the theoretical problems of a centralized service all you want, but if you’re not syncing with OneDrive (or an alternative, though those are kinda worse) on your Windows computer you’re literally sabotaging yourself. I could go on about other examples, but I’ll limit myself.
I don’t care if you think Linux is better. For the average person, Linux is incomprehensible. Now don’t get me wrong, I like Linux too! I use Linux for my servers, and it’s a great option to have. But the ideologues who push it to everyone are infuriatingly dumb, and serve only to push people out of the tech community.
As a whole, this site has too many ideologues, and not enough nuance. It’s like the whole “Reddit atheist” phenomenon but worse: people here are unquestionably critical to an absurd degree, and refuse to accept that there may be alternative viewpoints on what they’re saying.
And I’m not fond of capitalism either. I just think that the constant negativity is draining.
Yes, exactly. That’s the point.
It’s not surprising, started with the Nexus devices really.
Oh, I’ve noticed that. Does the dev know about it?
I completely disagree with this, but that’s probably because I actually have a photo gallery as opposed to a set of files.
What actually happens is that it normalizes making fun of people like him. I do feel the socialization angle is important, but remember that classroom culture is very much predicated on kids making fun of those who are “different”.
You mean Chrome? 🤣
