Server Installation

On the macOS device you'd like to use for the server... And I'm out.

I don't even understand the purpose. Who the hell cares what colour your texts are?

In my case, I worked for someone who only communicated via iMessage. When I got hired they said, "Either get an iPhone or figure out some magical way to get iMessage on Android."

That's some seriously awkward shit. What was the job?

[-] mulcahey@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Wish I could say! But many influential people in tech/media/politics are iMessage diehards, and she was no exception

I'd respond "If it is required for the job, send me a business phone that has imessage". I hope that you didn't subsidize their business expense on your own dime

Nah, I had them buy me a used Mac Mini for $50. But you're right: if they made me get an iPhone it would have been on them
