  • As others have said, Logitech MX Ergo springs to mind. Lacks bearings and repairability, but is of decent quality.

    If Logitech isn’t your thing, there’s also the ProtoArc EM01 - basically an MX Ergo clone with RGB and USB-C, but inferior tilt.

    There’re also Elecom, whose EX-G is also decent but on a personal level, Im not a fan of the right click - too light. Sanwa – Amazon Link – and Perixx are competitors to/similar to the Elecom offerings.

    Ploopy might be your best bet in terms of repairability, though their offering is a little rough around the edges (figuratively and literally, they’re a 3d-printed startup but seem to have a decent following).

    Links with the exception of Sanwa are to the manufacturer’s pages.


  • Most of those options are the traditional text-based, “page” based type notes. There really aren’t that many options in terms of competition to something like OneNote though, where the “page” isnt a fixed size, and supports more than just plain text such as handwritten text, or images, or stuff that doesnt necessarily fit in a neat little square.

    Dont get me wrong, there are some fantastic note-taking apps out there that are dead simple to use, but if you’re looking specifically for something like OneNote, then again, super limited options.








  • This AI debate is hilarious. Especially from a privacy standpoint, because if anyone were all that concerned about their privacy, they wouldn’t be posting sensitive stuff to things they don’t control, if at all.

    Add to that society trends towards an increasing population, societal pressure that frowns on any talk of how to stabilize or even decrease the population, and our ever increasing reliance on various black boxes that we dont even begin to understand, and you can see we’re heading in a direction that goes against privacy whether we want it or not.

    Easier to encourage people to make the conscious effort to not post what they dont want public than it is to change all the platforms involved.





  • So how long until our options in dodging the endless waves of shitty ads have completely gone? Sure, there might not be indication of it now, but it’s probably a safe bet that Mozilla will try and pull some of the same shit Brave did in regards to ads/adblocking.

    Thank fuck the internet as a whole is getting so shitty to the point it encourages us to go do something else. Turns out that avoiding the internet as a whole results in feeling a hell of a lot better about things in general.




  • <laughs in massive data breaches> Better buckle up Buttercup, because “being in a database” is a reality. Thanks to data breaches such as Equifax, pretty much every US citizen and all their important details are available in numerous databases.

    We willingly purchase devices that listen and watch our every move… to be added to private, corporate databases that get sold around like cheap prostitutes. At least with government databases, voting gives at least a teeny, tiny modicum of control.

    And even better, while I cant name specific breaches in relation to global populations, it’s a safe bet most everyone else is compromised as well.

    On the bright side, at least it makes random identity theft occurring to any one particular individual akin to winning the PowerBall.
