I don’t know about the underlying technology, but every client I’ve used for the past couple decades supported groups.
However, they absolutely sucked. There was no way to leave. Unless someone made a new group without you and everyone used that, you’d keep getting messages.
I can’t listen to it right now, but the issue with characters like Aunt Jemima is that they were just racist stereotypes given a name and slapped on a box.
I think a good analogy for this situation would be a themed chain where an AI pretends to be a comedic racist caricature.
I don’t think any human has sent an SMS message deliberately for about 12 years!

Unfortunately, no, you don’t. However, you can buy computers with Linux preinstalled. I haven’t looked in a long time, but they were only marginally more expensive when I looked last.
Also, installing Linux isn’t difficult at all, provided that your motherboard isnt weird about booting it (really just luck of the draw, but usually not a problem), and that you’re willing to nuke all your files. Dual boot installations are where things get precarious.
In most apps, there’s several settings you can change to try and fix that. If you ever want to try it again, try using qksms (or another good alternative at the time), and playing with the settings.
I had the exact same issue with signal on my last phone.
Ugh, stuff like this is why I bought a pixel. I got an s23 for “free” from T-Mobile, and it was so infested with spyware and bloat that even android debloater couldn’t get it all.
GrapheneOS has basically made it all worthwhile. I do with I could have multiple (more than 2) profiles though.
Iirc you can just install a VPN app in the work profile to accomplish this.
Many do, or at least did a few years ago.
Hey, I’d just use VPN anyways. I sure as shit didn’t trust spectrum not to sell my data.
