Shucks... Maybe if the college didn't rob the students blind on tuition, and the publishers not rob the students blind on books, maybe they could afford to pay for software licenses. 🤷‍♂️

No, American iPhone users use iMessage and think they're superior. American Android users don't give a fuck and think it's hilarious that iOS users think they're superior because they used dumbed down devices that nag for money everywhere.

You should consider staying in your own lane...

A small handful of iOS users might complain about iOS, but a majority of us don't give a shit and can't understand why anybody would brag about having an inferior OS.

And sure people make accounts all the time, but if doesn't mean they enjoy doing it. I doubt most people enjoy having to flip between messenger, signal, telegram, and WhatsApp - and RCS fixes most of that since everybody has access to it, and SMS is still a main go-to for messaging in north America anyway.

Any more stupid takes to share with us?

Which is why Americans use it? Sorry you struggle to put two and two together...

Literally nobody is hung up on bubble colours other than you and iPhone users... Most people don't give a shit, and the added benefits of RCS basically bring it up to spec with a typical messenger, and since it's pre-installed it means that you don't need to worry about messenger app segregation. You don't even need to create an account.

This is such a dumb take... "Lol Americans all using SMS! We prefer to install 4 different messaging apps to talk to people, and can't do shit if we end up in an area with low reception"

10/10

I can't stand people who use Discord as a support platform... Absolutely nothing comes up in internet searches, and then you have to try to find an old discussion, or ask the same question as 50 other people. It's dumb.

If the publishers win, I hope every book they publish as long as they exist gets torrented into oblivion leading authors to ditch them in favour of self publishing

Right? This dude was probably just hosting all of the content that the platforms removed over the years lol

It really just seems like it proves that the applicant is able to work in an environment where everything is already pre-installed and running with no need to learn basic troubleshooting, and that they were able to sit through a few years of focusing on specific aspects of a textbook and writing incredibly mundane programs... and quite possibly lack the ability to learn on their own and think outside of the box...

Interviews and testing seem like they would be a far better way to vet applicants

I don't even get postsecondary for a good chunk of areas... Like computer programming, for example. Why would anybody need a degree that says "I don't know how to read textbooks, use Google, and learn in my own"? I'm sure there are lots of degrees just like that
