When I used to have a paper address book, backing it up (into a second book) was a chore. On the other hand, when I report a bug and it is closed simply for lack of developer time or "because it is old" (some bug trackers do this automatically), that is demotivating: I have to engage in pointless activity merely to keep track of the bug especially when it is a long-term bug that I can work around but would like to be fixed.Ī nice thing about computers is that they can store large amounts of information without its becoming a burden. Sometimes, I am able to remove workarounds I installed, and can delete maintenance tasks from my lists. On the other hand, I frequently get notifications of bugs fixed years after I reported them. Using bug trackers that avoid this through barriers to entry, or active curation, is often a relief. As a user, having to wade through long bug threads full of noise merely to work out whether there's a workaround and whether it's likely to be fixed is also an annoyance. Volume of original comments is useful as a crude measure of how important an issue is to users volume of "where's my bug fix?" is just a headache.
When people make a lot of noise on a bug that is not being fixed fast enough for their taste, that just makes me want to close it "WONTFIX" to get rid of the noise.

I don't mind the occasional ping, but unless the person writing has something to offer to a fix, merely reminding me that I don't have infinite time to write software for other people for free does not help.

(I'm not able to update all phone numbers in the corporate phone book -))Īlcatel One Touch Idol X+ Dual SIM (but just using 1 SIM currently)Īndroid: as a long-time free software & open source maintainer and contributor, I find nagging demotivating. I guess #791 is related here.īoth problems are real show stoppers for using TextSecure. Neither by selecting it from the (now updated) address book, nor by entering it manually without any special characters.
Unfortunately TextSecure somehow caches the old/other number somewhere and I'm not able to enter his number in any way. Then I changed the number of the aforementioned friend to not contain the parentheses anymore in my address book and tried to re-add him to TextSecure. I added a new number manually (without parentheses) and things worked out just fine. Any other Android app silently discards them and dials the number. (I can text these people with the on-board messaging app and I can call them, so the number is correct.)Īfter playing around a bit, I noticed that the parentheses seem to be the culprit. The sending of the message fails without giving a reason.
