  • No, the app is made for everybody who wants to use a messenger. Not just you and him. It’s supposed to be under the standards of the feddiverse.

    The comments here are not a poll. Providing especially personal comments about a nerdy user like me and the guy I replied about “I would like it like ICQ” and such shit, would not help the creator make a good choice. Most people nowadays, especially zoomers, dont even know what ICQ is or how it works or how to even login to it. Most people, proven by ehm … the success of messenger, discord, whatsapp, telegram, viber, signal everything … want a messenger that provides what the mainstream messenger wants with most of the features that everybody provides and are mainstream used while having ease of access.

    I could say the same with the guy I replied to. Again, I’m a software engineer with nerdy-influences towards Vim, Arch, barebones are much as I can, shortcuts only, i3wm, etc etc. But I’m also a UX/UI designer after-work for my own projects and I try to get in the shoes of the average user. Do you think the average user would want i3wm for their own window manager? Or Linux? Or Matrix with its own messy half-baked two-step verification? There’s UX/UI department for a reason. There’s no such thing as “you and me”, there’s “this audience and this audience”. And the nerd audience is a very small one.

    We should try to help the creator. Not misguide him. Again, the comments are not a poll, they’re supposed to help to make a constructive conversation. And when you talk as if the app is made only about yourself, you’re not really helping.



  • There was this business that was letting at 24:00 receipts on our tables that weren’t ours. And the girl was searching always what table didn’t have a receipt so she would give one randomly.

    Either our “IRS” tax evasion works over night, or that store just makes blank receipts for drugs or other illegal acts. It was weird anyway, and self service. Wtf. Self service in the middle of the town in a beer bar pub like is just weird. Why did they have the waitress giving fake receipts then. Everything was so sketchy.


  • Chill, you’re not the only one here.

    VoIP in a mainstream messenger is something that most people use nowadays to avoid calling people from their SIM cards which costs them much.

    Video calling too is something I personally use too especially on iMessage or Telegram.

    I’m a software engineer, I appreciate some old school things that work perfectly well like ICQ or Vim or emacs or working only with shortcuts. But you know what’s also a shortcut? Not having to use 50 different messengers just because this one doesn’t have VoIP and I can’t bring my friends or my mom here but I can bring only my nerd friends”.

    This is all business and target audience oriented. You are not the only target audience out there and especially when you don’t demand from a messenger to be able to have VoIP. Even Instagram has VoIP these days. A photo-video-media sharing app. Let alone a messenger.

    I’ve listened to Lex Fridman’s podcast

    Zuck does BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu). Elon Musk idk what he does, but he’s clunky.

    BJJ can really block you off of doing anything and Elon Musk is not as much kilos to really get out of the BJJ moves. It’s really powerful if used well and ive got the impression after Zuck has been in BJJ competitions that he’s got some good and consistence experience.

    In any case, Zuck is not as robotic as you think nor as unsocial as you think. He just doesn’t care as much as you guys might think but he’s not that bad at combat/fighting or muscles. He’s an athletic guy from my impression and Elon Musk I think is far from it. Maybe I’m wrong, prove me wrong if I am.



  • Yep. Especially after the training it’s like “yeah man I did it”.

    Also, it’s all about consistency. Perfectionism is the enemy of consistency. Don’t be a perfectionist. Just be consistent and soon you’ll see results.

    Like I see some people who just started working out and do as many push-ups or any other excercise with as many reps as they possibly can and after they’re exhausted.

    That’s wrong. These people think that if you don’t do 100 pushups first day you’re a failure.

    No, do even one push up. It’s more that 0. Then do 2, then 5, then 10, then 5 again coz you don’t feel like it today.

    Like don’t starve for perfectionism. Just be consistent and you’ll actually get to enjoy working out. It’s a great way to clear your mind, have a healthy body, build muscles, better body chemistry and less diseases etc. Be consistent, not perfect. And avoid guys who make you feel you’re not doing enough. These guys will make you feel like every exercise should be perfect or with the highest reps possible or smth.
