I am sure they have muddied the waters with some garbage "user-friendly" configuration.

I do not use GhostBSD and am not familiar with it. It can be done on vanilla FreeBSD, you need to bootstrap an Ubuntu base system which is somewhat involved since there is not a package for it. Google is your friend.

"BSDs" are not a monolith. You should actually specify what the hell it is you are talking about. Spotify runs just fine under the Linux ABI on FreeBSD.

Doing exactly this with tvheadend and a Hauppauge wintv HVR-2250 dual ATSC board. Thanks for reminding me to set it to record.

Carriers can setup their own infrastructure if they wish, it's just that many are content to let Google deal with it. This isn't RCS's (or Google's, for that matter) fault.

Nope, fuck companies like telegram. Just another ghoul trying to profit off the backs of open source developers. Signal is owned by a non-profit, so not sure what kind of "support" you are speaking of, but the desktop app is electron trash, so it's right out for me.

Also, one of those things is not like the others. RCS is a 3GPP standard, the infrastructure to run already being paid for by my wireless bill. I would prefer people use it to talk to me.

Well, if you are to be believed, eventually they won't have any choice once the other shitty dominoes fall.

How about using a messenger that isn't beholden to the good graces of "a company?" XMPP has been around for ages. Setup a server and use it.

Again, international relations isn't your made-for-social-media bullshit. Things take time, and he cannot come out swinging against a very strategic ally in a very volatile region of the world. I never said he was powerless, I said he was not solely responsible, and that it takes time to effect change in the sphere of international relations. Continue to live in your fantasy world, you will continue to be disappointed. My only worry is that you are going to help really screw the pooch for the rest of us. Take your head out of your ass.

What are you going to do in November? You said you're not staying home. Are you going to vote for Biden, vote for Trump, or vote for Trump with more steps?

You're acting like Biden is unilaterally responsible for the Israeli government's actions. He's not fucking God, it would behoove everyone to stop pretending he is. Bibi is hell-bent on an apparent Israeli imperative to avenge genocide with genocide. The US cannot stop it. Only Israel can. International relations (thank dog) is not like the flashy whizbang news-friendly soundbite discourse of domestic politics. You need to step lightly. The recent ICJ ruling is a good first step, and will put the US in a better position to oppose the atrocities in Gaza more forcefully.

Because not presenting a unified front is how you actually lose. Feeding into the apathy that (if you are to be believed) already exists, is going to help guarantee the worst possible outcome, not instantly transform the political landscape shitshow into your utopia. It's going to be February of the election year and nobody else has emerged, neither DNC nor third party. What the hell are you or anyone else going to do about this that won't simply throw the match and let the fascists win?
