The fuck is with all these comments? Since when are we siding with Apple and closed off communications standards around here?

It’s a bit shocking to see actually. But Lemmy kind of surprised me from time to time.
Anyhow, it would be really nice to see iMessage work with RCS.

We’re not. Just calling out the hypocrisy of Google.

Since Google is just trying to get people to use their closed off communication standard (they added a bunch of stuff to RCS and that’s what they want the eu to force Apple to use). And I don’t trust Google with anything anymore, not sure why you would. The killed by Google website is proof enough of that.

I love the fact that Lemmy users here don’t know shit about how these tech works and they will jump on Apple hate every chance they get.

The EU isn’t going to swap one closed proprietary service for another. If iMessage is included under the DMA as a core platform service, it will require Apple to permit interoperability. I.e. the creation of open APIs. Google, and anyone else, can choose to build connectors into their own apps.
