  • I can’t speak for the others, but I’m just curious as to why iMessage’s quirks are heavily put up with. With the options of messaging apps nowadays, the “green bubble” stuff seems like an arbitrary problem.

    Sure, it’s stock software, but plenty are willing to switch off Edge/Safari for Chromium browsers. I understand that there’s strong social pressure to conform to using the same messaging service. I think it’s something that can be worked around with any proficiency with tech, along with a good argument to the social circle. I managed to get off Messenger this way and it worked great.

    Personally I’d rather find the best message service than use what everyone else uses, but that’s just me. It’s not a big problem at the end of the day, really. People value different things with their tech, and that’s fine.



  • Reuters is pretty good. No autoplay vids, only 1-2 quiet ads an article, and is mainly cut-and-dry news.

    No news source is 100% reliable, but I can easily see AI picking up bad information or misinterpreting human text. Nothing wrong with AI news by itself, but it’s a good habit to verify any source by yourself.

    Regardless I recommend UBlock for any device or browser. Ads are over the line nowadays so I don’t feel bad blocking them when possible.
