Google’s dream of hijacking an open standard (on Android at least) is achieved :/

Now I miss my Nokia N9 :(

Google unfortunately locks down the RCS api’s in Android so that only the system messaging app (basically just Google Messages these days) can use them, so I don’t think any independent messaging apps can integrate RCS at all :/

Unfortunately I haven’t run across any either :/ Handwriting detection for even a single language/script can be very complicated to implement so I understand why it’s rare in open-source keyboard options, but I’ll keep an eye out just in case I find one.

As long as they can get away with it

Add “accounts.google.com/gsi/$3p” to the My filters page in uBO, it should block that nonsense on every page.

Yeah, I don’t think a lot of people understand that RISC-V doesn’t mean every RISC-V SoC is open. It’s only the underlying architecture that’s actually open.

I don’t recall them mentioning anything about efficiency or battery life improvements in the presentation, and you know they know they would’ve made a big deal about it if they had any progress to show :(
