      The majority of the people I text are non-nerds. To them, it just sounds like “I’m special, so if you want to text me, I need you to download this app you’ve never heard of instead of the feature your phone comes with, that you use for everyone else, and that works with Siri.”

        In Europe, SMS has been dead for at least a decade. It was so strange for me to find out other parts of the world still use it to text each other

    So Google is shit, Apple is shit… What’s the option here? Is there any way to realistically avoid either of them?

    Why must we deal with this duopoly over the most important device in our lives?
