Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers in c/[email protected]

Careful it can also progress into Stage 4 BSD.

There was a whole scene in Star Trek 4 with the same premise and I think that released in 86.

We're talking about Unix so being as pedantic as possible is actually required.

Speaking both seems like a great choice.

AITA for beating my wife to death because she burnt my steak?

NTA, cooking a steak is basic knowledge and you told her not to burn it

Phone and messages replacement (lemmy.ml)

Hi all,

Currently trying to DeGoogle my phone. I'm down to the last few apps. I want to replace the Phone and Messages apps.

I tried the Fossify versions from FDroid but was met with mixed problems. The first is the phone app. The Fossify version doesn't have Spam call warnings like the Google version. The Fossify version also doesn't have a voicemail button, not really a deal breaker but nice to have.

Second was a bigger problem though, the messages app. At first it seemed to work, but couldn't send pictures after a short time. I usually send picture links anyway so not the worst but kind of annoying. After a while I would start getting delays in receiving standard SMS messages and finally wasn't able to send any messages at all. I switched back to Google messages and everything worked flawlessly immediately. Also I turned off RCS in Google messages prior to switching.

If any of you could recommend a good SMS/Phone app i would appreciate it.

QKSMS is unmaintained as are a lot of other SMS apps in the stores.
I've got a Pixel 7 with the stock OS, but will be moving to LineageOS soon.
I use Signal when I can, but I have clients that I can't simply request they use a whole separate app just for me.
