I'm a huge Kensington Expert Mouse fan. I've owned dozens of them for the past 3 decades and I have 5 in constant use, at home and at work. I use no other pointing device - apart from my MNT Reform laptop's trackball, whose buttons I remapped in the firmware to be like the Expert Mouse's.

I will most definitely get that new one. Thanks for putting it on my radar!

Reagan had dementia but his particular flavor made him quiet and submissive.

Trump's is making him agitated and aggressive, which so far hasn't been a problem for his handlers, but it might become one soon.

You’ve obviously not done a full round of cognitive testing.

Correct. You know why? Because unlike the POTUS, I don't need to: nobody has any doubt about my mental faculties.

Many people are surprised at how poorly they do the first time.

I suspect part of the test is remembering the first time, and doing better the second time 🙂

God I’m enjoying his downfall

Why? He's a fucking pedo who's going to enjoy free housing for the rest of his life. All he lost is pointless titles and a bit of dignity - as if he had any dignity left to spare.

I'll enjoy his downfall when he gets questioned by the police, put on trial and thrown in jail.

He's really proud of having undergone - and aced, according to him - two cognitive tests in one year. But he totally fails to see that this many such tests at such short intervals is a clear sign that his doctors are worried he's actively going gaga.

Not to mention, acing a cognitive test is about as difficult as acing a patellar reflex test: it's not a sign that you're smart, it's just proof that your noggin' is still working correctly at a basic level.

That's not quite what she said: she basically said she openly believes in batshit religious nonsense, and as such would have no trouble believing unknown phenomena are figures appearing in her batshit beliefs.

The keyword in all of this is batshit. How she won an election, I'll never know.

She's luckier than VIvian Wilson I guess.

Whoever doesn't know that true good porn sites are found using Yandex and don't give two shits about US FTC rules hasn't looked very hard.

Is what ICE does legal?
Is it constitutional?

ICE doesn't seem to care about any of that. Why should you? Fuck the goddamn SS.

I always assume there is someone working to fix things

After being a member of SDF for over 2 years, I always assume there isn't.

Have you asked the SDF community if there is anything you can do to contribute to better uptimes?

No, for three reasons:

• I paid for SDF. That's more than I can say for most services I use that are orders of magnitude more reliable. In fairness, I paid once, expecting to pay every year, because I like to pay for what I use. But I never paid again because the service is utter shit. Sorry to be rude, but that's just the plain reality.

• I tried to contact someone in the SDF shell chat thingy and it's always been crickets. I've given up on that.

• What the hell can I do to "contribute to better uptimes" aside from running a server at home on behalf of SDF?

Putting out there that if you’re waiting for the next outage of a few days to move servers, [...]

I'm not waiting. I'm currently evaluating Piefed with a view to moving my communities over there if it proves good and reliable. As for my personal account, I already have this one on Sopuli as a backup (now my main account) and I've created another one in piefed.social and imported my settings there too.

I'm done with SDF. The next - and last - time I post from my SDF account is to lock my communities and redirect subscribers to their new home.

More sport, less drama.
