Seconding a vertical mouse. I like Evoluent's mice, been using them for years.

I don't know that I would say "much worse." But it's more than incrementally worse, which is what most of the updates to Win10 have been over its lifetime. So straw, meet camel's back.

None of them are free, but they all have a month free trial. After that they're all $10-15 a month. Not sure about privacy, it wasn't a priority when I went looking. I hadn't heard of any of them before I went looking for alternative music services.

I actually react well to combative. Not right away, but it puts me into a "I'll show you" mood that drives me down a rabbit hole of research. If you're right, I come out the other side with the data and admit I was wrong. But I assume I'm not normal.

Another for Deezer. In the last couple months, I've tried Tidal, Qobuz and Deezer. Qobuz seems the best if you're into music and building your own playlists. They pay the best royalties and do a bunch of human curating, including a weekly zine for current releases. They don't have an automatic playlist that I could find. Deezer has the best recommendation engine of the three, at least for the genres I listen to.

I was at a protest in DTLA where they were firing them. Some cops were flinching when the rounds were fired. So I'm going with both incompetent and malicious.

I know someone who died of fast colon cancer, and I'd be okay with ICE agents going the same way.

Yes! No flavor, just a bit of acidic sting. It's like licking a 9-volt battery.

I can't taste garlic. There's some kind of hole in my taste buds. Garlic bread? French bread with too much butter. Garlic-dependent hot sauce? Overly sweet sticky substance that ruins meat. Humus? Weird flavorless grit paste.

I would believe that it only currently works in English.

Yahoo did pull this shit. I had to dig through privacy settings in my account, not just the email setting, to turn it off.

Our marketing team isn't good enough to change consumer behavior like that. I'd love to work with a team with that ability.

 

Windows keeps reminding be that I have to switch to Linux if I want to keep using my computer. It's a rugged tablet from about 2011 that I still use daily for internet and some light Photoshop. Core i7 1.2 GHz, 4GB RAM, and the important part, a built-in touchscreen and Wacom digitizer. Keyboard is an external device that I don't generally have attached. I grew up on DOS, so I'm not afraid of fiddling, but I'd rather this machine just worked. Any recommendations?
