As much as I hate Meta, this is just going to become a “cost of doing business”. They have $32B in yearly revenue, this would cost them $36.5mil a year, a small drop in the bucket to what they bring in.

I wonder if any of these listed alternatives support RCS, SMS/MMS is an incredibly old and insecure

Looking at the bright side, at least in a submarine you aren’t going to feel 4000lbs of pressure in every direction coming at you at once because it’ll happen faster than your brain can register. Not like you’d feel it anyway after being reduced to the human equivalent of a gogurt

That’s fine, just know that this has already been looked in to and reported on with rough numbers on what artists earn and artists themselves talking about it, and you have extremely rose tinted glasses on how all of that actually plays out and the amount of money musicians earn from streaming.

If you primarily consume content through Spotify or streaming you are supporting office with fractions of a penny per stream.

If you aren’t going to shows and buying from the merch table, or buying directly from bancamp etc you aren’t supporting artists.That’s where the majority of their money comes from.

Man, you are gonna be real mad when you learn how conservation and wildlife management works

I mean, sure they are running for backend/infra, but its Ubuntu or RHEL with an enterprise subscription. Not RockyLinux or any community driven distro

Xubuntu or Fedora will do you fine
