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.)

#maven gurus, `mvn package ` does not work for #WSO2 API Manager. there is a colossal amount of debug output. Any tips on where I should start?

#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.

"Apple is considered a pioneer of innovative technology." lol, how do people still write this stuff. Literally someone published this 2 hours ago.
-
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.

@guizzy Almost everyone seems to have glitches with Cyberpunk 2077. Daddy_A said his were minor, but Triodug said he had blue screens.

#Underdog versus #Overcat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-LDf14fuko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hzRm1k8EJI
I remembered only the fact that they fought (and naturally, Underdog won).
-
@adcock Yes. I would say 1960s.

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.
-
We’re talking about #COVID-19 vaccines and how long we think we’ll need to wait.
-
That was three hours.

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).
-
@adcock Oh, no!
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.
-
probably easier to scream into the void on twitter, tbh

You could also get one of those USB optical drives and plug it in when you need one.

Cows have feelings. That's why they get so e-MOO-tional.
