The long fight to make Apple’s iMessage compatible with all devices has raged with little to show for it. But Google (de facto leader of the charge) and other mobile operators are now leveraging the European Union’s Digital Market Act (DMA), according to the Financial Times. The law, which goes into effect in 2024, requires that “gatekeepers” not favor their own systems or limit third parties from interoperating within them. Gatekeepers are any company that meets specific financial and usage qualifications, including Google’s parent company Alphabet, Apple, Samsung and others.
The fuck is with all these comments? Since when are we siding with Apple and closed off communications standards around here?

I love the fact that Lemmy users here don’t know shit about how these tech works and they will jump on Apple hate every chance they get. And your comment must raise Linux and open source etc or else it will be an instance downvote.
Since we know Apple is the lesser of 2 evils and Google is a crying baby

It’s a bit shocking to see actually. But Lemmy kind of surprised me from time to time.
Anyhow, it would be really nice to see iMessage work with RCS.
