I wouldn’t mind paying for streaming services IF and ONLY IF they had everything day one just like Spotify works with music. I fucking hate paying for Netflix just to realize I can’t watch something new as it’s Paramount+ exclusive, and P+ doesn’t even let me register in my country. Always sailing for anything video related.
Is it where they make Schweppes?

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 heard there is a broom closet nearby, so might as well head there
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.
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.
Generally because Sync for Reddit died (api bs and shit) and Sync for Lemmy was one of the first results that caught my eye looking for a working client. Haven’t looked back since.
Widespreadness of local provider networks even if you have not paid for the internet access. You could literally download and watch movies, play games and etc by just using DC++ for local provider network file sharing, servers of which they freaking hosted by themselves.

I started playing Immortals Of Aveum before watching any final review of the game. Finished it and then watched the reviews.
Honestly, loved the game, and the reviews seemed to be negative from the get-go with the main point of having “nothing particularly new”. Yeah probably but that doesn’t make the game bad lol. It was actually fun and engaging, at least to me.
I stopped trusting reviewers long time ago and just watching em for kicks and giggles. Everyone has a different taste and that’s okay.
I’ll be honest with ya, no fucking clue which of them is smaller or not.

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.
Asana is a laggy piece of shit on any hardware with any internet connection if the board is big enough. And they are usually big.
Anything related to XCode is a fucking nightmare.
