TFW you pour a reasonable cup of coffee but the pot is almost empty and it’s rude to leave a tiny bit so you pour the rest in your cup and then it’s right up to the brim and you have to sip a little off the top but it’s too hot so you walk it carefully to your destination but then you spill a little and now there’s coffee on your favorite slipper and you realize that we’re just hurtling alone through an infinite expanse.

Sometimes I wake up as a fireball of enthusiasm and I forget what I’m supposed to be stressed out about.

Oooh I’ll try one!

My single gripe about BetterMouse is that it took me an embarrassingly long time digging to realize that my macOS menu bar was a mess because I had its “Tighten menu bar spaces” enabled.

Can’t blame BetterMouse for me being dull, but I wish it didn’t have that option and I sure hope it wasn’t enabled by default.

@cory do you have the time

@greg @webology Bah, and I flew right in about sync—sorry! I do recall that reducing stutter compared to iCloud, but I also audited mobile plugins and disabled a few and that helped quite a bit.

@greg @webology My experience splits the difference between yours: paid sync has been far more reliable than iCloud, SyncThing, or Sync.com (faster, “smarter” merging updates, version safety net), but edits in the iOS app often don’t save completely despite explicitly saving the file and giving it time before exiting, hopeful line breaks, etc.

Every now and then, I’ll make edits either on macOS or iOS that mysteriously vanish and aren’t reflected in the sync history—but thankfully that’s rare.
