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

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.

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.

Yeah transportation wasn't an easy thing for him. He was almost 5 days in a car in a small box. But now he can finally relax in his new habitat, which is pretty comfy ngl

He actually looks bigger on video than in real life. I'd compare him to a a little smaller than human palm. The rest is just his paws
