You’d be surprised how versatile that one thing is. Or, should I say, how much abuse it gets at ioccc…

Notification led that is separate from the display. Custom per-app colour and blink pattern.

Yup. Screw thinness, I’d love to have one that’s twice as thick as any modern phone, but with a two week battery life. You know, like we used to have.

Stick a 5G phone into a Psion Series V or Psion Revo and I’d buy them for the whole family.

Look, slack is 1000% better than Teams will ever be. But, Slack is also enshittifying themselves, eg. with their 3-month event horizon.

Anything Slack can do, Mattermost does – and Mattermost is free, open source, and self-hostable.

This is my hill.

No but maybe the C-level guys don’t need multiple millions while the actual developers don’t hardly get paid in comparison.

I have never put it into words like that, more like “make zero assumptions”.

I suppose that being overly thorough can make documentation prone to becoming tedious (unless cares is taken to not talk down to the reader) or too tightly coupled (incurring the need to be updated more often as details of the process change).

How do you usually deal with that aspect? What I do is to make the documentation easily skimmable (for advanced readers) and just accept the need for rework.

You’re brutal. You’re not wrong tho.

Futo is great unless you constantly switch between several languages. 🥲

SwiftKey also does this!

I really, really want to switch to a less, uh, commercial keyboard but none of the ones typically praised here (for good reason) support multilingual swiping.

As well as the yeet keyword, I’m really friggin’ diggin’ this. [modernisation required]

I admire your logic and life plan.

But, “deserve … geese”? Need more data.

The trouble is that, apparently, “perfect UI” can mean “let’s take all the sidebar tabs, remove their text labels and make all their icons really abstract and in the same colour. Oh, and change their order, too, while you’re at it.”

Thank you from the bottom of my muscle memory and pattern recognition. Now, give us back our old UI that was actually meaningful, or at least make it an option if you insist that your “clean look” is more important than actual usability.

^(Apart from that, I love you JetBrains.)

Sorry to nitpick… Tinnitus is more likely to introduce high-frequency sound than the 440Hz dial tone. If anything, that is the one frequency that old-timey phone techs would eventually struggle to hear…

Tutorial: or everything into airports and long-distance routes, you’ll make more money than you can spend. 🤷 At least, that’s how it was when I stopped playing it.

I have never (before) read a single word of that bible, but may I bestow this upvote upon you for so casually and precisely bringing the requested reference.

Source?

Facial expression looks like OOTS but the rest is more, uh, I hesitate to say realistic…

Correct, it is not.

The Swedes always did build things rather sturdily…

I’ve been extremely fond of “Our Groceries” for many years. It strikes a sweet spot between features and simplicity of use, and the devs are very responsive and have added several features after my suggestions. Really the only downside right now is that it can’t use the front facing camera on my wall mounted android tablet for scanning barcodes.

For added fun, macs use CR.

This used to be true, for sure, but I thought this changed with OS X (which is essentially PrettyBSD) ?
