@cliffordbeshers more like, " ... and the marketing manager doesn't realize the trouble he's in because he clicked on a phishing email, but the IT manager is there to save the day.". All in a David Attenborough voice.

With the extra bad British acting of people trying to play it serious but knowing it's not really serious.

Why is corporate IT security training so bad?

Planet Earth was a great series. Maybe we should make a cyber security training course with a David Attenborough sound alike?

@pratik I never complain about autocorrect. I wouldn't be able to spell some words without it. I like to blame it for typos, but really I just don't like editing my texts.

In Avengers Endgame, Why does Friday not tell Tony Stark that Thano’s ship came through the portal from 2014? Especially because they just initiated the “Barn Door” protocol just before Hulk snapped the Infinity Stones.

I think Blending Spoons has done a good job with Evernote so far. Their design updates have been needed improvements from previous versions.

I would like to see them work on widgets next. The widgets on Android still have the older design style.

@ridwan No, the opposition party cannot force another. Elections are held after terms are finished. The length of the term depends on the office.

However, the opposition party can make it difficult to govern. In fact, that has been the Republican party tactic to governing for 20 years now.

Mike Johnson’s third reason to take on the Justice System,

… and because people are losing faith in our institutions.

Sure thing.

Let’s attack one of our institutions with another institution because people are losing faith in our institutions. That’s going to totaly increase people’s faith in our institutions.

Makes total sense.

@ridwan Okay. I'll give this a go. But, first off, why is 'auntie' part of Kamala Harris' name in your question? Genuinely curious here. I've never seen that wording before.

  1. Yes, The vice President assumes the office of the President if the president dies.
  2. The Vice President nominates a new Vice President and the Senate confirms the new Vice President.
  3. No, the losing presidential canidate does not become the president.

Someday I will have to try to write about why I enjoy the Google Pixelbook over the Apple MacBook Air (M1) over any other laptop that I have used. But, that is not today.

Today I will say that the keyboard on the Pixelbook is one of my favorite keyboards to type on.

@jtr Thanks for listening. I do apologize for the tone of the question in my response. Rereading it now and there is a bit of accusation there that was not intended. Appreciate that it found you in a constructive way rather than an attacky way.

@jtr Why are you holding other people to your personal standard of blogging? Just because people do not write as much as you want them to write is not a "depressing pattern" in independent blogging for the writers; they are writing when they want to write.

@numericcitizen But, it could be. That is why they keep writing that. The iPad Pro could be a Mac if Apple decided to do that. There is nothing other than Apple stopping it from happening. MacOS and iPadOS run on the same chip that are in both the iPad Pro and MacBooks. Utter flexibility would be an iPadPro that ran BOTH MacOS (when it was in keyboard mode) and iPadOS when it was not docked in a keyboard. The potential is there. If the potential is there, people will write about not living up to the potential.

@manton Why does there have to be a "next"? Why can't there be a continuation? A refinement? A broadening as it were. Make Micro.blog the best platform for short form posts on the internet by focusing on core features, bug fixes, stability, and enhancements.
