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

I am fine with paying for the software as long as it provides the functionality.

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.

It is working now. :-)

Yikes. I am yet to play the game but I knew Joel dies in the second one, as it almost felt like a setup for his death was built-in.

However, I wasn’t aware of Sony going to such lengths to misdirect the game’s players.

Thanks a lot for sharing the context.

P.S. you might want to fix the formatting for the spoilers as it is currently not hidden.

I am unaware of this one. Can you share what is this about, or share the relevant search keywords?

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.

It indeed sucks.

I hope the fix is delivered in one of the point releases rather than the next annual one.

Also, thanks for the information on this! :-)

Thank you for sharing the article. I stand corrected, and shall reflect this in my post.

Also, upon going through one of the sources from the article you shared, I found a quote by Craig Federighi on the change

there’s no need to double tap and no magnifying glass getting in your way

Yikes!

I try to rationalise this as a side effect of System Preferences now using SwiftUI, and have given up hope on it becoming sanely usable any time soon.

Another Safari regression is the inability to scroll over video elements. Which really breaks the Voyager experience

I have noticed this as well. I didn’t realise this was an OS issue. I assumed this was because I am using the TestFlight version of Voyager.

Ah, the share suggestions never really worked for me.

I know the OS tries to intelligently identify with whom I want to share an item, based on the type of item, recency of conversation, etc. “tries” being the operative term.

The OS does not even honour the app order I manually set under “More” in the share sheet. I remember filing a feedback for this specific behaviour long back.

Yes. The !bangs in DDG are for convenience and not for privacy. The convenience of not opening the intended website, and typing/pasting the query to perform the search.

This is incorrect.

DDG just just performs a simple redirect to Google with the query, where the latter has access to cookies, past usage (especially if one is logged in to Google), etc.
