Mutahar after reading the name: I’m in danger

Mutahar after reading the description: phew

Gallardo994,

I still don’t understand who the fuck asked for such a feature.

Gallardo994,

I have several counter-arguments to your statement.

Firstly, I do not know who is calling me. We here don’t share phone numbers with people unless it’s a delivery service or family, and generally we use messengers like Telegram, where sharing phone number is not necessary at all, and most of the time people here don’t share it. When someone is calling me, 99% of the time it’s a scam call, useless advertisement, or some automated bs.

Secondly, I do not respect someone taking my own time when another person feels like it. There is a reason for planning meetings at work ahead of time so that you can adjust your schedule accordingly. And phone calls ignore anything you have planned and can throw you out of your schedule for a minute or 30 minutes, you never know. I also consider texts much easier to understand if it’s worth reacting right now or later. If I have a notification, I can know if I should react to it now or if I can postpone it for later. Most of the time calls aren’t an emergency.

Thirdly, texts allow discussions to be asynchronous, meaning if I receive a question, I can think about an answer and search for something before spitting out my response. This is usually much more productive than sitting on a line and thinking about something in real time.

Texts also give you an option to attach additional context. No more “I’ll send you a link”, “I’ll show you a pic” or “I’ll check it after the call”.

It’s not about hating calls or whatever. It’s more about the fact that texts are much more flexible and productive.

I am more than sure that Linus wrote the original message as he would normally do, and then made it clean and pretty with an AI. Sometimes I resort to this option too.

Gallardo994,

This. Open source apps are generally awful at presenting themselves to a broader audience.

Even for me, who’s technical enough, an app being FOSS is not enough to even bother checking out. Yes, I’ve said it. Sorry, tinfoils, but I do put features above else. And, want it or not, general public does the same: if the featureset is not clear enough at first glance, and an app doesn’t explicitly provide clarity on what it does and how it is better than competition, most people aren’t even checking it out.

Gallardo994,

Sometimes an open source project is too niche for anyone to take notice. I myself am developing a networking reliability layer ported from C to modern C++ and I’ve yet to see a person use it except yours truly. Sad truth.

Let’s just be clear that Windows is a king of newer hardware and Linux is a king of older one, if we strictly take a driver-bullshit-o-meter.

Slack is one of those apps which lags in a week on any hardware, it might be better than web version but it still sucks ass compared to fucking ICQ clients. Source: using it in the company I work for, for about 7 years already.

Gallardo994,

I compare it to qip or similar with voice calling support about 10 years ago. But still, Slack loses to pretty much anything on the market regarding performance, be that Element, Telegram, Skype or even Discord. It literally battles with biggest IDEs lol

GPU-fucking-accelerated terminal emulator. Damn, what an age to live in.

Russian authorities usually just hijack login sms confirmation codes. This is a common practice in Russia. Not denying that something else shady might be going on, but I do know mobile providers there don’t even bother to ask why - they just provide shit on demand.

Of course it is. Pleasuring someone who loves cock is definitely gay.

The comfiest bracelet I’ve had, actually. Would recommend 10/10

Gallardo994,

Would definitely recommend this one! Also, this one is chronometer certified to -6 to +4 seconds drift per day which is pretty damn good. The bezel is satisfying to rotate, feels much better than my other Raymond Weil watch.

The only problem I noticed is the bracelet clasp which is hard to open the first two weeks as it’s super sturdy. But later on it settles and it’s great. You may want to have 1.2mm screw to adjust the bracelet though, it took me 3-4 tries to find perfect sizing for day and night.

I am also looking at TAG Hauer Carrera model range as the next one. You may want to look at their blue chronograph models, glassbox ones maybe.

You shouldn’t expect better accuracy from any automatic/mechanical watch. If you want much higher precision, you better aim for quartz watch, but most watch enthusiasts may find them “cheap” and “soulless”, which is definitely subjective. I love automatic watch for smooth second hand movement and absence of battery to replace.

Chrono certified means it has been tested within a certain range of temperatures without exceeding certain thresholds of positive or negative drift per day. It’s only certification anyway, many uncertified watches may give same results.

Gallardo994,

Most likely will than won’t. But I guess there’s some sort of touch to adjusting it every week or two.

Gallardo994,

It has to be around 2000-2500-ish range. Definitely worth it!
