Why would Linus be using gmail ?
This is an individual who, in response to broken version control systems wrote his own version control system which he uses, primarily, to control versions of the operating system kernel that he wrote.
How is it possible that the above described person is moving his wrist around going clickity-click with a mouse just to read an email ?
- ectoplasm 11y agoIMAP presumably. That's what I do, at least.
- willcodeforfoo 11y agoGmail actually has pretty good keyboard shortcuts...
- rsync 11y agoEven if gmail keyboard shortcuts were anywhere near as good or fast as alpine (they aren't) you still have big bloated responsive AJAX/js pages loading for every single action. With alpine over ssh I can use email on a bad 2G cellular connection with no hassle at all while google won't even load the inbox.
- scholia 11y agoGood point. However, Gmail does let you load an HTML version if you want something less bloated....
