The fact that iPhones are getting this before Android phones without Google Play Services tells you all you need to know about the nature of RCS. Android has lost all of its intrigue and fun in favor of becoming GoogleOS
Royalty-free blanket patent licensing is compatible with Free Software and should be considered the same as being unpatented. Even if it's conditioned on a grant of reciprocality. It's only when patent holders start demanding money (or worse, withholding licenses altogether) that it becomes a problem
JPEG-XL is in no way patent encumbered. Neither is AVIF. I don't know what you're talking about

We need more nuclear power ASAP

Throughout the entire OS. Image CDNs are adopting JXL on some scale - Cloudinary reportedly ships billions of JXL images regularly

Battery life is hardware and software.
Huawei's doing great. Plus, there's a big push in China to consider RISC-V & Linux to reduce dependence on US-based tech like Windows, so seems like all good things
I should have clarified that I was referring to “Restart” rather than “Shut Down” because I’m not aware of how frequently people actually “Shut Down” their devices. My intention was to ask: How often would you need to physically press the power button when the functionality of turning the device on and off is accessible through software?
On another note, I think the amount of attention posts like this get is a pretty clear indication of how deep Apple hate truly runs. I'm fine with Apple, more of a Linux person myself, but stuff like this makes me shrug my shoulders. Only Apple could garner this much attention for putting the power button in a weird spot on a tiny desktop that nobody complaining about it would buy even if it was on top of the device.
