   Looks like most of #SoCal is supposed to get rain or mixed precipitation today. Currently, it is cool and windy, but the sun is shining brightly.

   Macaulay Culkin agrees with calls to remove Donald Trump from the 1992 movie Home Alone 2.

   I foresee that one day soon, descendants of Emojimus (claimed inventor of Emojos / Emoji) will try to file claims under draconian perpetual copyright laws against all emoji-using software and the people who use emojis. The only hope is to fall back to using all-text expressions such as “:-)” in their place.
   
   Or, you know, hiring an expensive copyright © lawyer.
   
   (Is there no attorney emoji? A shark 🦈 with a briefcase will do.)

     That was much better than I expected it to be. Covers the spectrum of opinions of several #ITSec professionals, and does not strike an alarmist note. Sadly, somewhat devoid of practical advice, tho. https://www.hipaajournal.com/hipaa-password-requirements/

    #GS3 has been calling everyone Dadda for a while. In our most recent videochat, he alternated between that, Papa, and G'anpa.
    
    Those were the only words I understood. The rest of his speech was in Martian.

      The dog that he used to call Baby, because she was small and young, is now 45-50 pounds of gnawing and chewing. He decided to feed her his breakfast ( #yogurt, naturally ), which she happily gobbled up.

      I personally used smart phones and tablets before Apple entered the market. Apple got the mouse from Xerox. They have never been anything but copycats.

      @musicman Yes, they are copycats, but there is a big leap between a Blackberry Bold and an iPhone 5 (when $EMPLOYER switched; no prior experience with either company).
      
      As for the iPod, I never owned one, but I believe its secret weapon was the iTunes desktop software, which is why the Palm Pre used to pretend to be an iPod.

      I guess there's a certain amount of innovation in Apple's "our way or the highway" approach to things like USB-C, but I think Apple learned with the Newton what Google learned with Glass. True innovation is expensive and often there is no market.
      
      It's a shame things didn't take off sooner with Google Glass, because I think VR/AR could have been useful for a lot of people during the pandemic. Ultimately, I think AR is more interesting and useful than VR, but idk who is going to take the leap there after what happened with Glass.

    Wow. I had forgotten about quitter.cl (Quitter of Chile). I’m glad to see that at least one Quitter instance is still around.
    
    I wonder if someone is continuing to maintain the Qvitter front-end. If so, they aren’t using git.gnu.io.

    S is having trouble hearing me, and has been having problems for months. She may have started to lose her hearing.
    
    It is reaching the point that everything I say must be repeated at least once before she understands what I said.

    Playing a little MegaMan on the #3DS. I and Daddy_A have MegaMan 11 for the #Switch (even though I don’t think I’ve played it yet), and I think I bought it for all of us on the #PS4, too.

    Remembering that I once bought a device, thinking it would share a HDD over my network. When I got it home, I discovered it wanted to to create an account, so I could share files anywhere in the world. I shipped the device to #sonOne. He used it for a class he was in, then shut it down. A few years later, he was about to give it to one of his friends and discovered that the site on the other end was gone.
    
    Nope. I don't want your cloud service (or cloud-backed service).

    You missed "the life and times of a teen named Colby", but he went down that path and wound up leaving the Fediverse entirely (for Twitter ... which doesn't make sense) over sites' speech restrictions.
