The short answer is in many cases it’s just not worth it. Maintaining a Linux build is not free and the possible market share gain is fairly minimal. Add to that the possibility you get it for free through proton and your reasons for investing the dev effort shrink.

I’ve heard an argument for maintaining Linux builds because Linux users will provide better bug reports but that mindset is unlikely to ever survive in a big studio

They did. I believe comments now count as activity where only posts did before?

Fwiw, the steam snap is open source

Right or wrong, they committed a crime at the time. A change in law doesn’t really invalidate the crime committed. That differs from this where the conviction itself was based on faulty evidence or procedure.

Just for clarity sake, I don’t really agree with this but I do think it’s a valid difference between the situations

Pandemics aren’t inherently global, just widespread

My group is almost exclusively dads with fulltime jobs. We play remote (FoundryVTT), run one game a week that runs between 2 and 4 hours.

Full disclosure I’ll say that remote is about 85% as good as playing in person, but I’ll take 80% and easy scheduling over 100% but constant missed games or conflicts

What’s the point of a separate community if you don’t post relevant content to them

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 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
