The Serial Port recently made a fantastic documentary on the IPhone, including conversations with its creators: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cip9w-UxIc

It is slop. Top starred fork is this: https://github.com/deletexiumu/wifi-densepose (although still AI generated, at least it's honest)

Plugging the same linear.app mentioned in a different comment -- switched a couple years ago (small team, fed up with general slowness and jank of Jira) and don't want to look back.

Not necessarily, have had my fair share of dodgy OS behavior fixed by replacing RAM

The AI generated docs definitely need work - a lot of volume without explaining much. For example, figuring out whether the tool will make the links in the target directory, or replace the source with a link to a moved file, is not immediately obvious.

I'm interested in how using symlinks helped you declutter the file system - doesn't leaving links around in the old place just lead to more clutter? A concrete use case in the readme will also help others better understand the purpose of the project.

Reminds me of how the early bloom effects looked like in video games

I use a G603 LightSpeed which also supports operation via Bluetooth. It actually ends up being pretty handy, as I can switch the mouse between my desktop and laptop just by pressing a button.

Beware though, that they have an issue with scroll wheels breaking after several months of use (a plastic axle connecting the wheel to the rotary encoder breaks off). After mine broke the second time after warranty repair, ended up ordering a replacement part myself and also modded the scrolling mechanism to have less resistance.
