My advice is to ditch GhostBSD, you are basically putting yourself further into the corner than you already are by trying to use FreeBSD on the desktop.

Linux binaries run just by a syscall shim. There's not much to trust or distrust. If all the syscalls are implemented and mapped to native FreeBSD syscalls, the thing works. Otherwise, it doesn't.

Spotify is just an electron app. You can disable any GPU access just like you can with chrome via a flag.

My point is, unless spotify is trying to call a heretofore unimplemented syscall, it can be made to run. The linuxulator is basically as good as native.

I am sure they have muddied the waters with some garbage "user-friendly" configuration.

I do not use GhostBSD and am not familiar with it. It can be done on vanilla FreeBSD, you need to bootstrap an Ubuntu base system which is somewhat involved since there is not a package for it. Google is your friend.

"BSDs" are not a monolith. You should actually specify what the hell it is you are talking about. Spotify runs just fine under the Linux ABI on FreeBSD.

Doing exactly this with tvheadend and a Hauppauge wintv HVR-2250 dual ATSC board. Thanks for reminding me to set it to record.

Carriers can setup their own infrastructure if they wish, it's just that many are content to let Google deal with it. This isn't RCS's (or Google's, for that matter) fault.

Nope, fuck companies like telegram. Just another ghoul trying to profit off the backs of open source developers. Signal is owned by a non-profit, so not sure what kind of "support" you are speaking of, but the desktop app is electron trash, so it's right out for me.

Also, one of those things is not like the others. RCS is a 3GPP standard, the infrastructure to run already being paid for by my wireless bill. I would prefer people use it to talk to me.

Well, if you are to be believed, eventually they won't have any choice once the other shitty dominoes fall.

How about using a messenger that isn't beholden to the good graces of "a company?" XMPP has been around for ages. Setup a server and use it.
