You know, the thing I least like about Tusky compared to the web UI is that it doesn't get super laggy as I scroll the federated timeline. Now, you may be thinking, "But Aura, that sounds like it's better! How is that bad?" Well, I'll tell you. On the web UI, the lagginess gives me a good stopping point. When it gets too laggy, close the tab and move on. On Tusky, I can keep going and going. Thus, I do. And, thus, I waste more time there. Ergo, it's worse.

This is especially bad when I wake up. Up til recently, I'd grab my tablet, which runs Android 4.4 and thus can't run Tusky. So, I'd scroll through using the web UI then stop when it got too laggy. Now I grab my phone, which can run Tusky, and so I lay there for an hour just scrolling the federated timeline (not to mention everything else I check).

So, yeah. Not really a point to all this, and I didn't really mean to go on so long. This was supposed to be a joke about infinite scrolling and it turned into a thread. Maybe I should uninstall Tusky or put a time limit on it, but eh. Whatever.
