@dan_ness assume you mean logging in and out of the mac? logging out of iCloud on an iOS or iPadOS device is akin to resetting the thing entirely — PolitiTweet.org

@Stammy @mimestream i need avatars in the message list in mimestream! also supporting automations i use with https://t.co/tgnoaQQSj3 — if i’m using a standalone app, i wanna do standalone app things :) — PolitiTweet.org

@dan_ness interesting! i wonder how many of those are used by the same person, either as a shared computer or as their own, vs used entirely independently by different people (and therefore on different iCloud accounts) — PolitiTweet.org

@GraysonBlackmon @Oreo won’t celebrate until they re-release the cookies and creme oreos — PolitiTweet.org

of course, both machines have to be on the same iCloud account for this to work, so if you’ve got firmly separate personal/work machines that use different iCloud accounts, this isn’t a solution. which is a shame, i don’t know how many people have multiple personal macs — PolitiTweet.org

@_hypedad yeah that’s the big limitation, have to use the same iCloud account. — PolitiTweet.org

@BobOstwald i think Logitech supports this kind of thing with its recent mice and keyboards too, but it’s still so wild in practice. one thing Universal Control allows for is copy/paste and dragging and dropping between the machines, not sure if the other solutions offer that — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

my brain can easily wrap my head around Universal Control between a Mac and an iPad but when it’s between two nearby Macs my head kinda explodes (between two Macs works, exactly as expected, it’s a trip) — PolitiTweet.org

@FIBA1agent i prefer the 14” model. but even so, the 16” MBP is noticeably smaller and lighter than the XPS 17. — PolitiTweet.org

@levelupJeffrey Windows really doesn’t do a good job optimizing for a smaller screen either — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

not having to plug in an external monitor because your laptop’s screen is so big is a legit benefit, not gonna deny that fact — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

i still don’t REALLY get the appeal of 17-inch laptops, at least for my needs, but after using the latest XPS 17 for a bit i guess i can see why some folks might want one: https://t.co/5FxdErxEgo — PolitiTweet.org

@jlgolson that’s kinda the problem - there are probably useful utilities where i’d want it on, but then every crappy media company is gonna spam requests for it. also yes there is a toggle, yes i’ve turned it on, yes sites have designed around it https://t.co/9QQi4c6Jko — PolitiTweet.org

@jlgolson i can’t count the number of times every day i have to deny those damn requests on my mac. i hate it so much. — PolitiTweet.org
