I used to use linux decades ago, then stopped for multiple reasons. Now, with win 10 eol fast approaching, I have installed Kubuntu 24.04.2 mainly for VR gaming but other gaming and normal pc use as well. I have 2 devices I would like to replace for ones with full linux support(~~drivers~~ software), unless there are ~~drivers~~ software that are easy to install not requiring compilation from source. The devices are a Microsoft Intellipoint Trackball, basically a thumb driven trackball with at least as many buttons (more is better) as the image shows.

The second device is a Logitec G13

I use this for most of my flat games, and to control my video player. Suggestions for similar hardware or easy fully functional drivers would be appreciated. ie; the g13 has game profiles, stopwatch, clock, system monitor, and a few things I don't use, the trackball has all 7 buttons programmable to anything on the kb and then some.

Every time this comes up on my feed, generally from an ani.social account, my a/v says dangerous site and blocks the URL but that popup is getting annoying, how can I block this url from lemmy (default webpage/summit app). I have blocked the instance ani.social and 2 of their comms [email protected] and ANI.SOCIAL [email protected]. Now one of the 196 comms has the same url link from someone on ani.social. Can't turn off that notification as this is a work pc using shudder Nortons

A fun little site from our friends at Last Week Tonight. Type what you want then hit "SCREAM"

As I scroll through Lemmy, I keep seeing the same posts over and over. Exact same title (usually cross posted). Is there a way to group these posts so that we can decide which instance to interact with instead of seeing the same post 6+ times? It starts to feel like the content is just being recycled to the top of the next page.

I use the default browser on PC and Summit on my phone and usually sort by new. This same issue was starting to get to me on reddit til I left
