for me its the dpi up button that some times sticks, scroll is fine though. ICue sucks, luckily Linux has ckb-next

also, what was it you originally needed the extra inputs for?

Love tilling compositors, Swayfx then moved to Niri for a scrolling compositor.

Makes it great for games like Arma 3 😍 and 3D cad.

I’ve had mine for 5 maybe 6 years with fairly regular use.

Old is gold :') most manufacturing now is done so cheaply, its a feature of capitalism, it keeps us spending.

Depends on what you mean by easily.

I would look for a mouse where the screws aren’t covered by the stick on feet. Less can be more, less buttons, less things to break = more stable. Its also good to look at the faulty market: buy a working mouse, and when it eventually breaks source replacement parts from faulty mice from eBay, if the market is stupidly priced or non existent you many need to do some research for which switches are used, this can be difficult to ID.

So stick with mainstream brands like Logitech, Corsair, Razor (not my first choice but there will be no end of faulty mice 😅) but if your up for IDing PCB components then any mouse can be fixable.

the intersecting narratives I had pick up on is ‘too close for comfort’ parenting eg helicopter parenting. infantilizing ones own parent and cloaked romantic jestures (akin to kissing a parent on the lips, something that is odd but can pass by as normal in some family structures). these narratives seem to be pushed with stories to paraphrase (badly) “I am my mothers IT guy also her carer, also I am trapped” this was to a holy incapable mother who would loose passwords and act with aggression and guilt. now this one i am somewhat hesitant to call out but it did fit the mo.

(gender indeterminate) “me and my dad have a new flat that he bought, we are sharing a bed” followed with a picture of a very modern but empty living space with a double bed. I believe this had been the first of the kind of post I seen, this one garnered alot of reaction comments and likes respectively and in the affirmative. i truly believe this one to be fake but for what reason someone would craft this post isn’t apparent.

A photo of a large and what one would assume, very expensive edible bouquet with a title and short comment from OP again to butcher the quite) “my dad bout me this edible bouquet” and the comment I can’t remember but the vibe was one of appreciation and gratitude.

most of the posts I had seen used a photo of an object or place but not all.

Call it a tinfoil hat, but there have been a dozen posts centring around close parent offspring relationships, sharing a bed in a new flat with dad, dad buying an expensive edible flower bouquet for daughter, and many others. All of which seem to garner a lot of attention, then get deleted. These posts have been popping up over the year. Also worth mentioning, these post have soon been deleted when questioned on validity or its romantic connotations.

I had been collecting screenshots but the phone I was using is broken.

Anyway, with the deleted post in question, the response style of op seemed similar to other now deleted posts and I believe these posts are fake and are coming from one person/ai/org.

My dad tried setting me up, I wasn’t even single but I think he was projecting.
