I am holding my breath a bit as Dave starts making changes to Radio3. I feel like I am the only person who actually uses Radio3, and it is a critical part of my daily web flow.
Got my hair cut for the first time in months. I think I lost ten pounds in a matter of minutes.
The tweeting is really something astounding. I cannot believe we make politics this way. Can we have a real conversation? Not your tweet versus this tweet. This is what I would say. The medium has its own dangers, but it’s also being used by powerful interests in deliberate ways to make our conversation stupid, to make us respond viscerally, rather than rationally and thoughtfully.
I miss watching baseball so I am looking forward to the season starting at the end of July. Unfortunately I am uncertain whether that will happen as I think a full second wave of COVID-19 is going to hit by then. The numbers in Michigan are ticking up.
Automatic switching might give me a reason to buy AirPods to use with my iPads.
I wonder whether Scribble will enable me to use the Apple Pencil more. I assume that the onscreen keyboard will not pop up if the pencil is detected? Otherwise that will be a bad experience.
No more segways? What will mall cops do? Actually, the only real purpose of a segway was for stunts to make CEOS look cool.
Awareness is the moment when we rise with eyes crusted from self-induced dreams of control, domination, victimization, and self-hatred to catch a glimpse of the divine in the face of “the other.” Then God’s self-identification, “I am that I am / I will be who I will be” (Exodus 3:14) becomes a liberating example of awareness, mutuality, and self-revelation.
I’ve been using a desktop running on ARM for a while now, and find it good enough for most of my desktop personal computing during the work day.
Time to make note that the iOS micro.blog app finally provides the ability for one to edit existing posts. Just quickly edited one prior post!
I wonder how well the Surface Pro X has been selling?
In a way, Apple’s move of Mac OS to ARM puts it back into competition with Microsoft. Microsoft has been working to run Windows on ARM for a while, now Apple will start showing them how it is done, particularly in how it provides support for legacy applications, but also in how to seemlessly host mobile and desktop applications on the same platform. In this later case, Apple’s OS strategy is moving closer to what Google has been doing with Chrome OS.
Apple announced Macs will run their own chips. Surprised to not see Intel’s stock drop. OTOH, Macs only amount to 5% of Intel’s chips. This will be the third major chip architecture change that Apple has made in it’s life, but likely their last.
When I look at the charts it’s clear to me that we are in the midst of a second wave of COVID-19 in the United States. Sadly, for those who hoped that the cases would go down when temperatures went up, the hot spots for COVID-19 are all warm weather states on the first day of summer. Selfishly, I hope that Michiganders see what is going on around them and not give in to the temptation that this is over.
If we can’t agree that there are things humans should not do to other humans, particularly to those who are vulnerable, then we have a problem.
It seems to me to be a momentous occasion that the Governor of New York is held his last daily COVID briefing.
An example of white privilege is holding the belief that you can determine when and how another person should be angry.
Google and Parallels announced this week that they will be providing a way for Chrome OS Enterprise users to run Windows applications. I am curious to know how this will be done, and while I initially imagined a Parallels “container” running on Chromebooks with Intel I-series processors, I am now thinking the solution will be application streaming via Parallel’s Remote Application Service hosted in Google Cloud Platform. If it is streaming, then it should work with any class of Chromebook.
There is a simple solution to the Apple App Store and Developer kerfuffle. Use another product. The reason why Apple, like any corporation, does these things is because consumers, that’s you and I, give them the power to do those things. Until there are consequences, Apple will not change.
I’d like to run with Quotebacks and see where it leads us. For now, I’ve added “Embed” links on the Micro.blog Favorites page on the web. This is an experiment.
