Ole BegemannI recently learned that German company Telefunken arguably invented the computer mouse. They offered a “Rollkugelsteuerung” (“rolling ball control”) for one of their mainframes in 1968, months before Douglas Engelbart’s “mother of all demos”. Telefunken’s mouse was also more advanced than Engelbart’s mouse as it used a ball instead of two wheels. (Photo credit:

It's doing more of it! (Windows had some mysterious "more than one device/emulator" trouble in recovery)
Why would I use Windows? For the laughs.
Yesterday I learned the Fairphone 2 can run UBPorts. I have a Fairphone 2 and a little bit of free time. I think my plan is clear.
What a week, huh? all Wednesda

Esteban MoroUpdate on the growth of #mastodon in the last months. After the big wave of new accounts on Nov 17th, the growth seems steady for the last week at around 50k new accounts/users per day. Only in the last couple of weeks, 1M new accounts were added. At this rhythm, #mastodon will get 1.5M accounts/users per month.
