    How long have you been on Tildes? How did you find out about us?
    A while now!!! Before the reddit purge! I don't post a wholeee lot, but trust I am peruse most topics! I was exploring the small net, chilling in an irc channel at tilde.club when someone mentioned this site. I browsed around for a while and they gave me an invite!
    How did you choose your username?
    Thought it was funny tbh, surprisingly too it don't get used often
    What are your interests?
    I like tech stuff that is geared towards hobbyists. I really like self hosting, and really really like NixOS, both of which I am not great at!! I don't have any formal education or training, I don't work in the tech field, I just really like tech! I am an enjoyer of social theory by education, and a teacher for work all of which I enjoy talking about!
    A/S/L (age/(gender|pronouns|identifier)/location)
    23, they/them, great lakes basin area >:3
    What do you do? This could be in your spare time, for work, your passions.
    Oops answered this earlier hehe. In my spare time I tinker on tech for sureee, for work I teach social studies secondary, and my passions are social theory!!! I hope to utilize my social theory knowledge to impact teacher education, but much work to do there still hehe.
    Do you want other users to PM/DM you from this thread?
    If ya like :D
    Give us a fun fact (or a link!)! If there is anything to know about tilderinos, it's that we value knowledge sharing!
    Shameless plug to my silly NixOS repo!!! I will explain any part if you're curious!

    This video by Rhystic Studies was really enjoyable. He always puts out really high quality videos and this is no different. He is a magic the gathering channel (and this video is about magic cards) but I feel done so in a way that anyone could watch and get enjoyment out of them! Highly recommend

    This looks awesome, I know I will be spending a lot of time on this game. Tetris is so real because it is always there for you. Gotta love it

    I've been reading Otoyomegatari, or a Bride's Tale. It is a very good manga about various couples in central Asia in I believe the 19th century. It is soooo good, I can't put it down! The characters are very well done and enjoyable. The relationships are so cute and, the amount of research the author puts in is really impressive, and leads to a very accurate telling!

    This channel puts out really consistently good short videos and sketches. I am really excited for this, it looks very good! The channel consists of two comedians and they regularly feature their friends, and the production value is always really impressive and funny as well!
    This video Junior Associate is a great example of their impressive work!

    Ohhh interesting, I will look into them! The defy is quite the price haha, but it does look very much worth it. Honestly the biggest concern for me though is that it would be hard to use and get used to. I can touch type but I don't know if I am at that level yet! Gotta keep practicing I suppose

    I think your suspicions are probably very accurate but I am happy to hear it doesn't take that much effort to clean! Thanks!!!

    I think I will really enjoy cleaning it every few days! It sound so personable! How do you clean it? Just with a dust rag, or some alcohol?

    It is hard to describe, and probably ultimately something I can solve, but basically it is unresponsive every so often, and then when it does work it likes to bounce up a little bit, makes scrolling a pita! Someone above linked a a tear down video though so i might have to try that

    I remember walking past those Logitech trackballs at like best buy or target and just being so enraptured by the ball haha, I would make my dad explain how it worked over and over again! I am liking the Elecom model you linked quite bit! It's between that one, and the Kensington Expert mentioned above at this point!

    I could take or leave rgb truthfully, this looks quite nice! I like having the two scroll wheels, this looks very nice! Stay away from the 3 and 3S if I am hearing you correctly?
