    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.

      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.)

            #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.

                  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).
