matthew - retroedge.tech (matthew@social.retroedge.tech)'s status on Wednesday, 20-Mar-2024 09:19:52 JST matthew - retroedge.tech I have a vertical mouse at one of my workstations. I didn't purposely buy it, as I got it in a haul of tech stuff.
I like it reasonably well and I'm glad I have it. Not sure if I would go out of my way to buy another one.
I did buy a large lot of 50 USB mice, because they are good to have on hand. HP brand. They also work fine.

Hardly use it anyway.

Is that an acceptable government "persuading" to get a person or business to remove content (speech) that the government doesn't like?

What ????
That's getting a little weird. I wonder what are acceptable methods of "persuading".

matthew - retroedge.tech (matthew@social.retroedge.tech)'s status on Wednesday, 13-Mar-2024 02:59:27 JST matthew - retroedge.tech We almost have this with the Cinnamon desktop, as the start menu, window controls and shortcut keys are pretty much the same as what regular people loved and were familiar with on Windows XP and Windows 7.
I really do think it is a mindset issue and that no matter how hard you try, people go with what everyone else is using. If that's Windows, then that is what they use.
It is an unthinking mentality.
I do believe that independent video creators have done immense service in challenging this mentality as now it is somewhat likely that people have seen at least some tech videos of people using or recommending alternatives to Microsoft Windows, most prominently Linux.
So the tide is changing... just frustrating slow for me as I have been using Linux for 20 years now.

matthew - retroedge.tech (matthew@social.retroedge.tech)'s status on Wednesday, 13-Mar-2024 00:41:26 JST matthew - retroedge.tech It is true that a small, but growing, number of people are curious about #freedom, both with technology and life in general.
Was good to see that #Linux desktop usage is now over 4% worldwide.In conversation from social.retroedge.tech permalink -

matthew - retroedge.tech (matthew@social.retroedge.tech)'s status on Wednesday, 13-Mar-2024 00:34:18 JST matthew - retroedge.tech It would be great if regular people cared and stopped using #Microsoft... but most don't seem to care or have any curiosity about alternatives.
I do sell quite a few refurbished computers with #Linux, but it is tiny numbers compared to the Windows computers I sell and work on.

matthew - retroedge.tech (matthew@social.retroedge.tech)'s status on Thursday, 29-Feb-2024 12:44:57 JST matthew - retroedge.tech Thank you. I will give it a try.
I should look into customizing searx. I am interested in curating tech blogs to search through. I won't do that soon, as I have some pressing projects to work on. Just writing about it to share my interest.In conversation from social.retroedge.tech permalink -

matthew - retroedge.tech (matthew@social.retroedge.tech)'s status on Thursday, 29-Feb-2024 12:44:56 JST matthew - retroedge.tech I was able to use your searx to find the answer to a proxmox question I was wondering about. Found a result of the first page that took me to what looks like the correct answer. In conversation from social.retroedge.tech permalink -

matthew - retroedge.tech (matthew@social.retroedge.tech)'s status on Thursday, 29-Feb-2024 12:28:51 JST matthew - retroedge.tech It is time to stop using DuckDuckGo. Sad. I really liked and used DDG for quite a few years.
I've been getting garbage results connected to my general location completely unrelated to what I was searching. That's been happening to me for the last couple months.
I tried Mojeek search, but found better results for the technical things I search for with search.brave.com

matthew - retroedge.tech (matthew@social.retroedge.tech)'s status on Monday, 26-Feb-2024 09:04:37 JST matthew - retroedge.tech Today I am upgrading a ThinkPad T400 laptop
It had a slow 160GB HDD. Upgrading to a much faster 256GB Transcend SSD.
It had 4GB of PC3-8500S memory. Upgrading to 8GB of PC3-10800S memory.
Note: this T400 model does not accept PC3-12800S memory modules, only 8500 and 10600 speeds.

matthew - retroedge.tech (matthew@social.retroedge.tech)'s status on Thursday, 22-Feb-2024 13:26:30 JST matthew - retroedge.tech I sometimes schedule a post. We got that feature after updating to the current (or recent) version of the soapbox frontend with Pleroma.
I also often boost (retweet) my own posts later on at a different time of day.In conversation from social.retroedge.tech permalink
