I'm glad they are making it easier to move your data around, but there is only one side of the equation that is in the end making it hard to switch between Android and iPhone, and that's Apple, who won't let you install Android on iPhones you "own" and would in fact describe you as a criminal for attempting it.

Has anyone ever *really* gotten onion and garlic out of a wood/bamboo cutting board? I've read and tried lots of tips but have resigned myself at this point to just having a dedicated board for trips to garlic town. #cooking

@vegantacos I think the option is Accessibility => Shake Cursor, uncheck "Shake cursor to find it". Thanks for the clue about it!

@vegantacos Wow, I'm not alone. So maybe I can disable it in accessibility features settings, thanks. Do you also experience unintended zooming of the text / application window?

What is it that I keep doing on my laptop that supersizes the mouse cursor briefly? It has something to do with brushing against the (evil) touchpad. Environment is Debian/KDE/Wayland. Doesn't seem to be application specific.
