So I picked one up on your recommendation. Using it on Windows. A little bummed it isn’t natively reprogrammable, but comfort wise it is essentially identical to my old MS explorer. The soft touch finish is a bit slippery out of the box, so my hand has a tendency to slide down after a few seconds. We’ll see how that works long term. I am finding the wireless connectivity to work pretty well.
I’ve been using trackballs for over 20 years and much prefer them to mice for work (I do use a mouse for gaming though). After my MS Trackball explorer died, I went through a few others, and currently use an Elecom Huge as my main trackball, which is quite good.
This looks a lot like a clone of the MS trackball explorer, though, which I LOVED….I may need to pick one up.
The simple rule of thumb is: if you are in a full service sit down restaurant (waiter takes order and then brings you your food, tipping is expected, and not doing so is seen as a major dick move, because it directly stiffs the waitstaff. The only time you should not tip in this situation is if the service is absolutely horrible.
Any other situation, like ordering at a counter and then going to get your food, or any fast food, tipping may be offered as an ask on the kiosk, but it’s never expected (not in my opinion deserved.).
But simply: if you are waited on, too 20% and be done with it.
Memmy is already shaping up as a great client. Already very full featured. And with how fast the dev is updating, it’ll be awesome.
Mlem is Ok, but still lacks way too man QOL features. I found Memmy as well, which is a bit newer, but also seems to be way more polished already, and the dev does updates almost daily. Already has listed communities, search, a working feed that doesn’t duplicate, and blurred NSFW.
Yep. I have accounts on three instances, but I had been using my Lemmy.World one the most, and then suddenly my beehaw communities are gone. It’s not a huge deal given that these accounts are so young, but it was still annoying. These sorts of things will prevent Lemmy from growing as an overall community.
Not to mention that even after you do the essay, it takes forever to get approval on a lot of places. I signed up on lemmy.one first, and couldn’t log in for a long time…then signed up at beehaw.org. My lemmy.one account finally became active yesterday, while my beehaw.org one still hasn’t been activated, and it’s been 3 days.
Same. Otherwise I’d have the door closed.
