I was unaware that it was supposed to transfer chat history. It’s never once done it for me. I assumed it was like other platforms I’ve used where it doesn’t sync your history unless you backup and restore.

Beeper looks amazing but is waiting list only.
I’m curious what do you find horrible about it? I use it all the time and have zero issues with it.
As someone who has to administer several hundred Windows servers and several thousand Windows workstations in our fleet (alongside our Linux and Mac systems), I was very sad that winget was not as good as I had hoped for. Chocolatey is still far better IMO, and neither is anywhere near as good as apt, rpm, etc.
That’s the same response I always get. But once I show them how much easier it is, it’s so much easier. I can’t believe there was a time I didn’t use one.
A password manager is an absolute must, in my opinion! I use Bitwarden and love it.

Why? Because I was on Proton personally for a long time but got frustrated with the lack of features and also my wife and I rely heavily on shared groupware stuff like calendars and reminders, so we switched back to Google Mail. Once Proton is a bit more feature-rich, we’ll take a look at it again.
Most welcome!
but i kinda want a native app tho. but oh well, most “native” apps these days are just PWAs in an electron powered trench coat so id maybe it wont be as bad as im imagining rn
I also want a native app, and have had a similar experience with many PWAs, however this one feels pretty dang good. So at least there’s that!
You are most welcome! Yeah it’s pretty much a rip of Apollo. I’m hoping the Apollo dev might look into a Lemmy app down the road, kind of the like Sync Pro developers are, but in any case, this PWA has been pretty good to me thus far!
If you haven’t already, check out this PWA that is extremely Apollo-like!
I am super excited to have a Sync client for Lemmy. In the meantime the PWA WefWef is pretty dang good.
I started with Jerboa and just would WefWef today. Game changer! Loving it.
I saw this the other evening and played it. Man, it went from 0-100 real quick. Really wild little game!
I’ll give a search on Duck Duck Go, and if I can’t find what I need then I’ll use Google.
But at this point I’m using Google Bard and ChatGPT more and more, at least at work.
Anecdotally, I have to say iPhone seems to have terrible battery life. My wife and several friends all have had the last few iPhones and they seem to be charging their phones all the time. At least every night but often during the day as well. My Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ was amazing. Like 1.5 days of battery. Then I got my Google Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro and it blew my mind. I go 2+ days on a charge no problem.
I suppose to be fair I use my phone more like I did my BlackBerry back in the day, whereas they all use TikTok and stuff fairly frequently.
I love the iPhone hardware. Especially the mini.
But I really don’t like iOS. Or the lightning connector.
Same thing with Macs.
Overall I think Apple makes gorgeous hardware but the software just isn’t for me.
I always tell people the best phone (or best one iPhone vs Android) is whatever is best for them.
My wife loves her iPhone and everything about it, and that’s okay!
Well that’s great news! I joined the wait-list last week and got an email saying they’d get back to me when I could get access.
