It’s an estimation, which I prefer over the vagueness of a done/not done light. I recognize that it’s not specific or reliable for any precision, but having a general idea of when it will be done is useful.

its got the vague precision of a fucking sledgehammer

says 30 minutes, could be 10, could be an hour, who knows

[-] june@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Ah, mine is much better than that. Usually right within 15 minutes or so

[-] red@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago

Mine typically says 2.5 hours and is done in 1.5-2h. Anyone using estimates on a minute schedule is... gonna have a bad time
