It’s not like your SMS messages are any more secure. If you message someone using Google’s RCS servers they’re going to be using Google Messages and it’s being read by Google either way. At least with RCS you can send pictures that don’t look like ass and sidestep all the reliability issues that SMS causes

Discord is used a lot for gaming groups, modding, software development, and has largely replaced forums for lots of niche communities

I mean they just arrested the lead Telegram dev and keep talking about trying to ban all encryption

Not OP but if you have experience with it, how does LMDE stand up to a normal mint install for stability? An Ubuntu-less release seems super cool

[–] NateSwift@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, GParted to create the MBR partition table and then let the installer manage the actual partitioning for you. It’s helped me in the past to physically disconnect drives I don’t want to accidentally overwrite, but that’s more of a “I don’t want to make a mistake” problem then issues with the installer

I’ve never had any issues with the mint live environment, but trying XFCE might be helpful. I would also try booting the computer and waiting until it stops reading from the dvd before doing anything. The live systems gets copied off the dvd, and I can see there being problems if you’re doing things that need data that hasn’t been copied into memory yet.

It’s also possible your memory could be starting to go. Is the windows installation stable? Some linux installers have a built in option to run a memory test (and some bioses as well) but I can’t remember if Mint does. Memtest86+ is a standalone memory testing program can be flashed to a usb drive or burned to a disk.

As pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online (On mobile, I think that’s the right person) mentioned, are all the hard drives internal? Do they show up in BIOS? The Mint installer should be able to see them. Before trying to setup all the partitions in GParted, I would try creating a new MBR partition table on the drive you want to use, saving, and rerunning the installer.

You can still change both order from bios, but most linux boot managers give you the option of booting to a list of operating systems and then choosing the default after a certain number of seconds.

iOS 18 will have RCS support. It’s available in the public beta already and is integrated pretty smoothly

[–] NateSwift@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

I’ve been on the iOS 18 beta for the last month or so and RCS support has been super smooth. Still “green bubbles” so it’s hard to distinguish at a glance from SMS, but there are headers every time it switches between the two like when switching between iMessage and SMS

RCS on android is similar, and when IOS 18 comes out of beta it’ll finally support RCS which basically solves this completely. Uses wifi or data, sms fallback, works cross platform, and allows for high quality pictures/video, read receipts and reactions

My Jellyfin server currently downs support decode for modern formats, so I’m actively avoiding them and it’s getting considerably more difficult

If he’s posting in English seldom then better use it

The irony of being a dick about someone’s English and fucking it up yourself

Could have yeah, but I already find looking at distros and specs to be super helpful on ProtonDB. Of course it isn’t going to be 100%, but if every person who has a problem with a game is using a certain GPU or distro it’s usually safe to assume that something about that is causing the issue
