Seems like a promising concept as real alternative to Google/Bing.

Initially I couldn't figure out how to spell it and this doesn't help to grow the branding. Apparently it's pronounced "mumble", so I recommend they just renamed it to mumble for better brand recognition. It's way easier to spread the word.

There's Safe Dot that also notify if an app is using location and camera, besides microphone. It's available on F-droid and Play Store.

What would be an example of that combination?

Something like Logitech K580. The keys are a bit tight with each other, but they have almost all those keys independently.

I like your comment. Reasonable feedback to recommend logitech K650 fits nicely into my needs. Going to explore if there are more choice just like this keyboard.

Thanks for your insight. Gonna avoid the G keys Logitech keyboard.

Facebook being the most expensive property, still valid to this day. Not true for Twitter anymore though.

Happened to me too. Who's the dumb government vendor doing these applications?

You wouldn't know if they hash it or not.

Now that you mentioned it, I wonder how many kids are using Lemmy. What attracted you to be here?

I'm not sure so just going to throw around some ideas for you. Maybe you can try sell on E-Commerce website, Shopify, Etsy or even on Amazon. Pick a product that you know well and can source the supplier easily. Add some value to the base product and sell under your brand.

If you not keen on dealing with people, try sell products that can't be returned or have low return/exchange probability.

There's also a dropshipping business where you don't keep any stock or even ship it out. Just get the customers and place the order for them.

Yeah, I didn't thought this could get so many feedback. It's sort of my first real topic starter on Lemmy.

If you are non-tech, what kind of business you like to do? Brick & mortar style or entirely online business?

Is there a small business community on Lemmy?

Username checks out!

I was assuming that tech background is someone that can work around IT things, such as even building your own PC or setup own Plex. You don't necessarily need to know how to code to be considered a tech person.

But as we can see in the comments, some people don't think they are tech person or tech savvy enough while have some IT / technical knowledge.

Airplanes tech is designed easy to use for the pilot. You wouldn't want to debug an error during a flight mid-air.

Agreed that Lemmy would be attractive to the general mass if we have more of non-tech communities. Do you know any?

Yeah, coding is not for everyone. You can't force it.

That's a diverse career change!

We should normalize what you do. Woman can build racecars or do any other work a man can. Great work, keep it up!

I think if you can troubleshoot your own built PC, that's pretty much a tech person, even though you can't code.

Sure, we can do that. But it's not a strict rule, anyone can comment too, anywhere.
