I needed another corded mouse and this time around I thought of @PKL@mastodon.social and @pronk@mastodon.social instead of Logitech's shareholders. These guys make open source mice among other open source hardware under the brand Ploopy. You can order one from them, assembled or as a kit, or you could print and build it entirely by yourself.

The mouse itself is pretty great. Coming from a long line of Logitech (MX518/G5/G500/G502), it's a bit larger than what I'm used to but I think I'm getting accustomed to it.

Here's another shot of it:

Gimp refers to sexual exploitation.

Like CBT and dozens of other terms, those damn psychologists and their Cock and Ball Torture.

Libreoffice only tells geeks exactly what the product is. My team, who uses Libreoffice, couldn't explain what Libre means, and no one can pronounce it.

Not sure if this is serious or not ?

If they're illiterate perhaps wider reading beyond Manga would help?
