> Seems like we should be able to disagree, as you're doing here, without all the "that's harsh" (it wasn't)

I fail to see how me saying "that's harsh" makes us not able to disagree?

I don’t agree at all. The text and illustrations are straight to the point. I just took the time to read the page fully and honestly every word is useful to me. I’m interested in this tool because Logi Options+ sucks, and it clears out every question I have for a replacement. I know what features it offers, what devices it’s compatible with, what it looks like, how to install it, even how it uses the network (update checker disabled by default is a nice touch)

I fail to see how this isn’t the perfect website for an open source productivity tool

Seriously, what’s wrong with:

> A local-first alternative to Logitech Options+, written in Rust. Remap buttons, drive DPI and SmartShift over HID++. No account, no telemetry.

?? I see nothing wrong in there, every word is immediately useful to me as a person interested in this software. You’re being ridiculous

Who cares? Even if it’s LLM generated (which is not 100% sure, I’m pretty sure I could have written this description with bold keywords myself), the text is dense and easy to read. Rejecting LLM output without even thinking about the content doesn’t make any sense.

Well... yeah, at this point you can stop expecting pre-build binaries of new softwares for pre-ARM Macs

I use the Master MX 3s specifically because of the "gestures" button, it was mandatory for me to replace using the trackpad. It's basically a thumb button you can press and combine with a mouse gesture to do the same thing as finger gestures on the trackpad. I mainly use the gestures left/right (to switch between full screen apps/main dektop) and up (mission control) but it's all configurable. It also has an horizontal scroll wheel that's very useful when using Excel or DB viewers.

The GitHub repo is literally one click away, the GitHub link is at the top right as usual

> the genai content on the website is just so distracting and such a bummer

That's harsh. Consider English might not be the author's first language (I see Chinese on the screenshots). Just opening the site I get all the info I need from the text (local first, no account, no telemetry, that's great), install instructions are immediately visible, there are screenshots, even the config file format is one scroll away. This is a great landing page for an open source tool.

As a reply to Helloworldboy (sibling comment marked as dead), the US is not even in the top 10 of best countries to live in terms of quality of life. It's not even close to the top in any QoL metrics: life expectancy, child mortality, education, poverty/wealth gaps, air pollution, food quality...

There's been tons of short interviews showing MAGA people having no idea ACA and Obamacare were the same things. They cheered when Obamacare got repelled even though they were beneficiaries of it. MAGA propaganda is powerful

Multiple. Just writing down some stuff and comments at the same time you're writing the content is very powerful. For group projects it was the fastest way we found to get to a working plan as soon as possible and get to work on assigned parts of the doc. It's also nice seeing other people working at the same time as yourself

I've upgraded from iPhone 12 to 17 a few months ago and I agree, I could have waited 1 or maybe 2 more years. At this point I just upgraded because I wanted to and could afford it, not because I needed to (even though I'm a heavy phone user, unlike you according to what you're saying).

The iPhone 12 was my first iPhone and I've been really impressed by how long it lasted, and I'm only hoping I won't need to upgrade before the iPhone 22 release.

> Ever try editing like, a Google Doc, while multiple people are in it? It's not fun

Uh yeah, it works amazingly well. I've done entire uni projects with Google Docs and it went great, and was much more convenient than whatever we did before using Google Docs

If you’re already invested in the Apple ecosystem you can get iCloud+ for $1/month and get the email provider (bring your own domain) among other things (50GB storage mainly). This is incredible value for the price.

As long as you use your own domain you can migrate away at any point so there’s that.

I didn't say it was actually infinite, just that it felt infinite. When it feels infinite, people will abuse it, making it feel finite again the hard way

Not when the "framework" resources are shared between multiple apps using the same framework. This doesn't seem to be the case here though.

It's true when [finite resource] is indistinguishable from [infinite resource], meaning it's abundant, cheap, and can be used recklessly with no impact.

That's actually pretty objective, long lines force you to move your neck and your eyes more which is more straining. I rarely read HN comments on my laptop because of the unreasonable line width, it feels much more comfortable to read on my phone
