robocall speaking mandarin has all the time in the world. Turn voicemail off, no human has ever used it.

My philosophy is if they don’t leave a voicemail it must not have been important. I’m not calling anyone back whose number isn’t in my phone that didn’t leave a voicemail. Silence Unknown Callers stays on; only time it’s an issue is when I try to get a call back from support or something, I gotta remember to turn that off temporarily.

Voicemails used to be very common some decades ago. I think nowadays pretty much everyone just sends a message after the call if they need to leave a message

TIL I'm not human. I wonder what path life has taken you that you've never been thankful for a voicemail. Granted, I'm annoyed by them more often, but I've definitely had a few good voicemails

I've never used voicemail. It's mostly an American thing that I'm too European to comprehend.

Out of curiosity, do you get many spam calls?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

not since turning on do not disturb with an exception for contacts.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

This has always been a strange thing for me. All of my peers starting getting spam calls around middle/high school, but I never did. To this day, I hardly get any spam calls. And when I say hardly, I mean like... I genuinely think the total number of spam calls I've gotten since turning 18 is less than 50 at most.

So, I leave my voicemail on. Because I know that damn near every time I get a voicemail, I know why I got it. I know that person/company and they're calling me because I asked them to

My life changed when I learned you can press a button to speed up voicemail playback.

Another button slows it down so they sound drunk(er).

I've turned off voicemail for the last 15 years. I just don't see any use for it when everyone has a device capable of sending messages now.

But how else am I supposed to find out that my car warranty expired?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Just recite a classic copypasta.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
