  • That’s not even all of the bullshit.

    In every other mouse the sensor is at the center of the body. On magic mouse the sensor is at the front under your fingers as you can see in the OP thumbnail.

    That makes it very hard to adapt to when you’re coming off of other mice. When you’re moving the mouse you better not slightly rotate it out of habit and ergonomics because the cursor will move weird.

    I really tried giving it a shot because I like apple gestures. They work fabulously well on the trackpad. The magic mouse is garbage in every category really.


  • I discover the crashed F35 in my lone walk in the woods. As I start to take it apart for parts, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It’s her father’s business. She’s Lockheed. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the feds come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don’t trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he’s the chief of FBI. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Lockheed to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She’s been waiting for me all these years. She’s never taken another lover. I don’t care, I don’t show up. I go to Berlin. That’s where I stashed the F35







  • I have tried all of the ones on Android.

    Wefwef / Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp

    However it and all of the other android apps glitch a lot. I’m on a pixel 7 pro so it’s not a legacy hardware issue either

    Sync is by far the best app by a large margin. Everything has a high degree of polish. UX design is perfect, though I may be biased since I’ve been using it for reddit for the past decade.

    Sync only has ads on the post pages, may be once every 10-15 posts. No ads on the comment page. Honestly it’s got the little Google ads that are not a big deal at all

    If you’d like you can remove ads for $30 but honestly it’s not a big enough issue at all


  • Oh wow good to see you here! I remember you from the early days when we had less than 6k subs there!

    It used to be such a fun, vibrant and exciting hobby and community. It so sad to see how regulations basically strangled the life out of it. It’s very nice to see familiar usernames pop up here and there!







  • Back gesture / design

    Whatsapp portability. Last time I checked Whatsapp data couldn’t be moved to Android. I have a decade of chat history id like to preserve.

    Integration with Google Photos. I am not switching to icloud or any other. Google Photos is just way too good. I can even search photos with text!

    Notification system. I’m not entirely happy with how android does it, but apple does it worse.

    Charging port. All my cables are USB C that charge both my phone and iPad. I’m not thrilled about getting 3 more chargers and cables.

    App prices. Android has great KeePass clients for cheap / free. I use strongbox on my iPad which is like $30 a year



  • These apps cost pocket change considering how expensive life is right now. I can’t think of anything else where I get so much value out of so little.

    We have to be willing to pay out of pocket to support a competition if we’re not happy with the way reddit is making money.

    Even if pro subscription carries over I’m still buying it again. Sync was the best android client!
