In another country where this wasn't relevant perhaps?

Pocket casts is really good, but their premium pricing has really climbed recently (device syncing, better organization options, and desktop/web clients). AntennaPod is almost as good and FOSS if that matters to you.

Yeah I think that's exactly his point. Every browser prompts you to make it default, it's not exactly a complex change.

Why do I want an alternative to tmux? Like what's your favorite thing it gives you?

Yeah I was pulling Samsung from an article I found discussing the issue, not specifically your comment. It said that those system APIs only responded to Google or Samsung made apps, but that was from like 2021 tbf

Ah ok, other replies mentioned API access in relation to servers so I misunderstood the issue. It looks like that API is hardlocked to Google (and Samsung?) devices. Thanks for the info

Google doesn't open their own RCS API to the public. Nobody is stopping you from running your own server and service so far as I can tell

Sure, but isn't that just complaining that Google runs the largest implementation of RCS? It would've been great if this was handled by carriers, but they never would pick up the task so Google just did it inhouse. I think if they hadn't rcs would just be dead by now (for better or worse)

It's terrible that no one else has decided to make an rcs app? That's not really under googles control

Thank you for this! I completely missed this and have 2 stadia controllers on a shelf right now

Testability for one, but I would also argue that those functions are there for using. If some block of logic is sufficient to stand on its own, it should. I'm not saying do it arbitrarily, but it's been my experience that small functions lead to more readable code and better testing. Most people write a 15 line function treating it as if it does a single thing when in reality it's doing two or three discrete operations

Well named functions, called in succession increase readability, not decrease.
