Exactly. I don’t understand the interest and effort put in these makeshift solutions to integrate into a closed ecosystem managed by a company with so little interest in building interoperable solutions.

They’re a cancer to the computing industry that is metastasizing, let’s not help them at that.

Fuck apple and their walled garden.

I don’t disagree with you, but open source has a long history of this sort of hostile forced-interoperability. Look at stuff like uBlock, there’s a real case to be made that it shouldn’t need to exist, and yet someone built it. Hostile “patching” of proprietary systems is not ideal, but fix barriers help in the short term.

They are going with USB C and RCS messages in the next iphone though. This is good news. The android imessage app is very late, considering.
