Tim Cook’s Solution to Green Bubbles Is to Just Buy an iPhone (extremetech.com) 4 points by ulyssys 3y ago ↗ HN
[–] ggm 3y ago ↗ I think the real change is not to care. The implications of red tribe v blue tribe don't scare as much as the actuality of what lies underneath.What lies underneath is the rather stupid "I can't send emoji how you do, so I will send a plaintext which says <the other person said> "what you said" with a smiley face next to it as literal text.Green v Blue, is trivialising an underlying technical problem. Apples decision is not respecting how sensible interoperability is meant to work.
