That is a good idea! If all the alternatives fall short, this should be the best way forward.

It would be unfortunate if the only other option is sacrificing privacy.
Thankfully, some helpful comments have pointed out to software that are available to trial and seem to strike a balance between usability and privacy.
I was well aware of the age of the article and original post.
But I saw no harm in prompting the community to ask for suggestions to a software that is adding bloat in disguise of dumb features.
Thanks. The app is free to try for 30 days.
However, I can already see open issues that mention requiring the proprietary software from Logi to be installed in order for all the buttons and wheels to work.
Having said that, I will use it for a while before forming a concrete opinion.
Well, the gestures are a primary reason I use the software.
Without the software, the only functionality I get in macOS is scrolling, rendering the buttons and side scroll wheel useless.
Cross posted this as I just noticed the “feature” on my machine.
Any suggestions for alternative software for an MX Master 3 being used with macOS.
Buying a whole other device seems wasteful as the mouse is in flawless condition, but if you have any suggestions I can take a note of it when it is time to buy a new device.
some governments […] have been trying linux as a way to cut expenses
I have been hearing such news for close to two decades but not without news where many such organisations switch back to using proprietary software due to a mixture of reasons ranging from usability to politics.
Though I agree with your overall point, I can’t see why rounded corners (or the lack of it) might be a noticeable issue.
There are a lot of knee jerk reactions in the comments. I hope few of those commenters have read the article or, at the least, your comment.
Seems like Apple’s convoluted guidelines around external payment systems is working out for them.
E: added link to said guidelines.
I am unaware of this one. Can you share what is this about, or share the relevant search keywords?
First time I am seeing Conan O’Brien in a meme.
The Hot Ones interview seems to have worked wonders for him and his show, regardless of which stills are taken from the interview. :D
I never found that to be a problem. In fact, I find the thumbnails distracting. But I can see it being a problem for others.
The rare occasion I work with image files, I just open it to identify, if I haven’t already named it properly.
It also helps that most of my workflows are not image-heavy.
For me, desktop UI peaked at Windows 98.
Installing the 95/98 GTK theme by B00merang is one of the first things I do after a fresh installation of Linux Mint.
I do try other themes once in a blue moon. But I soon realise it is a downgrade and revert back. The last theme I tried was the Arc theme back in mid-late 2010s.
Unless I misunderstood “cloud service functionality”, an Obsidian vault can be placed almost anywhere on the file system. For instance, a remote/WebDAV drive or even the Dropbox/iCloud Drive/Google Drive directory.
Migrating is as easy as moving the vault directory from one location to another, and pointing Obsidian to it.
As always, on iOS, there are some caveats as it lacks a traditional file system. So, the Obsidian app cannot access the vault directory on, say your Dropbox. But there are workarounds for it, like hosting the vault on a remote Git repository - which is what I ended up doing. Of course, this is a non-issue on Android.
Obsidian has a help page that goes in detail about what I just said.
As for the Git repository workaround, I referred to this article to arrive at my current workflow.
As an aside, I would like to touch upon my experience with using the inbuilt sync on apps like Agenda and Joplin - both offering syncing using iCloud and Dropbox while the latter offering a whole lot more. It is a flaky experience at best, wherein a significant number of notes never really sync between the devices. This forces me to use my phone to view a particular note while my computer for another. This is where the plain text file foundation for apps like Obsidian and Logseq wins me over.
That is a very astute observation, and I would not worry about the temporary decline for this very reason.
Also, looking at your username… ”can somebody please find Margot Robbie so that I can make sense of all this”
OP has used Ask the Audience lifeline, which has been anecdotally quite accurate.
Going by the comments, this is one of those instances where the audience is unable to arrive on a consensus. :D
Force Touch was awesome!
Poor awareness among users and adoption among developers led to its demise. I never really figured which apps had support for Force Touch until I tried using it.
It’s replacement - the long press - just doesn’t fill the shoes of its predecessor w.r.t. UX. But I guess it achieves the same result.
Seems like you are having a hard time comprehending what is actually said in the post. Perhaps a bit more of context may help. Apologies if these weren’t readily apparent in the post.
Seeking a video using the scrubber has always worked, but swiping on a video to seek hasn’t.
Long press always worked while interacting with system UI (and not app UI), but selecting an entry within the long press menu without lifting the finger hasn’t.
I understand that software evolves and regressions are inevitable. That is why I have pressed a bit on submitting feedback and bug reports as it makes the job of the developers easier.
As for your last paragraph, I fail to see how you reached to that conclusion as these are UX are Apple introduced and regressed upon, so I am going to ignore it.
I do not agree with @FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today’s take. LLMs as these are used today, at the very least, reduces the number of steps required to consume any previously documented information. So these are solving at least one problem, especially with today’s Internet where one has to navigate a cruft of irrelevant paragraphs and annoying pop ups to reach the actual nugget of information.
Having said that, since you have shared an anecdote, I would like to share a counter(?) anecdote.
Ever since our workplace allowed the use of LLM-based chatbots, I have never seen those actually help debug any undocumented error or non-traditional environments/configurations. It has always hallucinated incorrectly while I used it to debug such errors.
In fact, I am now so sceptical about the responses, that I just avoid these chatbots entirely, and debug errors using the “old school” way involving traditional search engines.
Similarly, while using it to learn new programming languages or technologies, I always got incorrect responses to indirect questions. I learn that it has incorrectly hallucinated only after verifying the response through implementation. This makes the entire purpose futile.
I do try out the latest launches and improvements as I know the responses will eventually become better. Most recently, I tried out GPT-4o when it got announced. But I still don’t find them useful for the mentioned purposes.
