I still remember when they didn't even give me an option to cancel my subscription from the website (because of my location). Instead, I had to contact tech support and ask them to cancel my subscription. IIRC, the first time I tried, it was around 1AM, so no tech support, so I had to wait til the next day, but it was until a couple of days later that I actually did.
This is when I started to dislike Adobe. At least a very good competitor surfaced recently, Affinity, and they have a pretty good Photoshop and Illustrator alternative. I just wish that they would make a Lightroom alternative, which is not on their roadmap.
Makes sense, back a few years ago I was so into weightlifting that I would spend around two hours at the gym. And whenever I had to skip or move my workout from my schedule because of an early meeting or an errand I would be very irritable for the rest of the day.
I agree. I've been using Telegram for quite a few years, and back then I used to be more of an early adopter and tried to make my social circles to switch to Telegram and one circle did, the tech circle. The other circles didn't care much about the features that Telegram had as much as the contacts they had on Whatsapp.
So now with that amount of people switching trying out Telegram, could mean that at least 2-3 people on a non-tech social circle might be using Telegram which might end up convincing the whole group to switch because of features (polls? utility bots?) or any other benefit they might find.
I'm considering learning more vim besides "esc /insert and :q :w" and this might be a great start.
As an emacs user it's frustrating having to install emacs to do some config editing whereas in my experience vim is included everywhere. e.g. my router.
I also started using this tool a couple of years back, when it was posted on product hunt, and I found it pretty useful. I can say it had saved me time and frustration whenever I forgot a name or a detail about an acquaintance.
I had completely forgotten about this, in fact I had been using the notes field on the contacts app, but thanks to this post I’m going back to it again.
What are the other top two of your personal stack?
I've worked on freelance projects and also have a couple of project of my own, I wear many hats needed to design and develop a product from ground up, and market it.
Google Talk (client). It was the best IM out there back when MSN started to get bloated with features and plugins like MSN Plus.
I remember that when I switched to GTalk, I still kept MSN for some of my contacts that I still chatted with, but eventually those people switched too and there was nothing left in MSN for me other that contacts with long and overly decorated status messages.
The official GTalk client was simple and lightweight. But then it died and the only official client was within Gmail, which I eventually stopped using because I missed so many messages when I was “online” while it was sitting unnoticed in tab on my browser.
I know GTalk is still alive and there’s WhatsApp, Telegram and such but I guess I miss the synchronous conversations back then, when people would still say “You gonna be online tonight? Let’s talk about it there”
I would argue that GTalk is not still alive. They sneakily replaced it with Hangouts, which brought multi-way video, but was otherwise worse in every way.
