I remember hearing stories about oil companies buying up battery patents. But this may be because they want to collect the royalties, not necessarily to suppress any kind of research. But like you said, I don’t think there is any evidence… But if they were suppressing the technology, we probably would never know about it.

I too will throw my hat into the ring

Why did he talk about Finland anyway? You didn’t mention Finland, unless I missed something.

Second, he didn’t include a timeline of Finland:

-August 1939: Russia becomes allies with the Nazis

-November 1939: the Nazi ally, Russia invaded Finland.

-June 1941: Finland joined the Nazis in betraying and attacking the Nazis’ ally, Russia. So, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Tldr: Russia joined the Nazis of their own free will. Finland joined trying to repel an invasion.

Russia was allied with the Nazis to invade a country… Looks like you’re a literal Nazi apologist.

Russia allied with the Nazis to invade Poland. No surprise that Russia is going back to their old habits.

I tried switching to the Google app for a month or two. I ended up back at Textra. Turns out I care more about the user experience than rcs. Still, it would be nice to have rcs but I can live without it. But I agree, I’d love to see them get their hands on the API.

Thanks you! I use Textra, it’s so much better than the stock app but Google never opened up their API. I believe for Google said they were going to back in like 2018 or something (if I’m not mistaken, which I could be)
