No real reason. I think optical mice are most likely superior (depending on the surface. I think optical mice have issues with glass tables?) Ball mice need to be cleaned every once and a while. Thr interface between the ball and roller can slip sometimes, so the cursor doesn't move.

So, mostly just nostalgia lol.

This is cool. I've always loved trackballs over traditional mice. I also wish you could still get a traditional mouse with an actual ball in it instead of being optical. I only say that because I'm a nostalgic dumb ass though lol.

I feel like General Martok would probably fall into the Klingon Therapist category.

I made the jump two years ago (on a different instance, not the piefed.ca one) when the reddit API thing went down. The fediverse has grown by leaps and bounds since I first came over. Much more activity now, almost comparable to reddit, at least from my small view of the fediverse anyway.

I can't believe this game is still running! I had an account way back when it first started. I should fire it back up again.

Yeah, this. I mean that ships have crashed and the government is hiding them/bodies, etc. I don't know one way or the other if other stuff is living in the entire universe. It would make sense if there was, given the size and all. But there is also no evidence that there are other beings.

I'm not saying that because I think we are special or anything, but I think it's irresponsible to go around claiming that we aren't alone either.

I feel really bad for the extraterrestrial believers out there because if they actually exist, the orange moron would have definitely had said something by now as yet another distraction.

He doesn't care. Republicans in general don't care. Most of them can barely give a shit even when it will directly affect them, because other people they don't like have it worse. I fucking hate this timeline.

Yeah! I got it free through Epic right when I switched to Kubuntu. It's a fun game now that I've actually gotten to play it (just left the valley lol).

I mention in a few of my other posts, I have an older Asus Tuf gaming laptop with an Nvidia GTX 1050. I knew I had to download the proprietary drivers for the 1050, but I wasn't sure which ones, so I think I initially downloaded the 535 drivers. Anyway, Sable launched okay (playing through Heroic), I was able to play until I got into the initial camp, then it crashed and never started up again. I was bummed.

But switching to Bazzite and downloading everything again, and it's just working. I didnt change anything, didnt have to mess with any settings. It's awesome!

Same here. Installed Kubuntu on my gaming laptop about 3 months ago. Last week switched to Bazzite (was having issues with a few games not running, Sable being one of them, and didnt feel like messing around with the settings any more). Really loving Bazzite and the fact that games are just working now with minimal to zero messing with various settings.
