What's a better product? I use TeamViewer as an individual to help my technically illiterate grandparents who live across the country with tech issues. Would love an alternative if there is one.

Apple is bringing RCS to the iPhone in iOS 18 | The new standard will replace SMS as the default communication protocol between Android and iOS devices ( www.theverge.com )

The long-awaited day is here: Apple has announced that its Messages app will support RCS in iOS 18. The move comes after years of taunting, cajoling, and finally, some regulatory scrutiny from the EU....

Like 90% of Americans who have android phones use SMS. WhatsApp is more common in places outside the US. Not inside.

When you stopped caring about staying in good shape?

I completely stopped caring about 2 years ago, I realized I was never going to do anything with my good look and that I will never get into a relationship in my life, so I just figured out "what's the point then, I'm already invisible to women?" And I don't care about my health tbh......

If you're here to feel sorry for yourself, well, congrats.

If you're here to actually discuss - you were doing it for the wrong reasons if your entire goal behind your health and fitness was finding a relationship. And health and fitness aside, making large parts of your life purely about "getting into a relationship" is a terrible idea as well. Discover your interests. Try some hobbies. Maybe they are sports and fitness, maybe they aren't. Meet people who share your interests. Men and women. Meet them to make friends and be social and share your passions with others. At some point along that journey, when you're a self confident person who knows what you like about yourself and what you're passionate about, you'll probably accidentally find someone who also likes those things about you, and loves your passions.

Or, I mean, imply to strangers on the Internet that you're possibly considering self harm. It won't get you anywhere but if that's what makes you feel good, I'm not going to stop you.

EDIT: I made the mistake of looking at your post history. Save everyone around here some time and stop dumping your misery all over the place. If you want to be your own personal storm cloud regardless of what anyone says, fine. Stop trying to be everyone else's too. God damn, dude.

Yeah, OP's responses are somewhere between nihilistic and suicidal. There won't be any meaningful discussion here. Others are trying, that isn't what he wants to hear.

Facetiously has all the vowels, in order, including "y".

Meltrax OP ,

My understanding of rsync was that it was pretty painfully slow.

Meltrax OP ,

I've used it in the past, but they are deprecating one-way ignore-delete syncing.

Meltrax OP ,

That must have been it, appreciate the clarification.

Jesus. I can't find an affordable apartment in Boston but "Blue grounds" is listing fucking 372 of them on Airbnb....

EDIT: so Blueground is the biggest property holder in almost every city? Or one of the top 5 in the places it isn't #1. What the hell?

I give it a few months before the Community tier servers' data is dumped and sold to an AI model company.

I've been using fedora since 2016 and love it. Switched to the KDE spin 2-3 years ago and love that even more. It's the right balance of fully-fledged OS while still letting me tinker. I don't have time for Arch-level setup BS, and distros like Mint and Manjaro and Ubuntu felt too clunky and restrictive to me.

Boost on Android. Used it for reddit, use it for Lemmy now that it swapped over.

If she's young, help her build good habits. The important stuff has to happen first, before the fun stuff. That's not just for video games, that's everything.

If she also likes sports or playing an instrument or reading, help encourage a healthy balance. I personally game 3ish hours a lot of evenings. I also exercise 2ish hours each day because I like to. I don't feel like I'm giving up potential time for one by spending time on the other because I enjoy both and I balance them.

SSX Tricky will forever hold a special place in my heart.

I believe someone debunked the claim of lossless audio. But otherwise I think that's all accurate.

Senior dev and I like dark mode because I also like my retinas.

ReVanced taps into my history with microg. When I watch stuff on desktop with Firefox and uBlock Origin, I want those videos to show as watched on my phone when I open ReVanced so I don't get recommended the same stuff. That works.

GrayJay can't do this. It's not better. It's a good idea, but it's a side grade.
