@WarnerCrocker Ooof what if our tasks and reminders apps did recaps like our photo apps?

"Hey! Remember that time you remembered to buy blackberries! That was pretty great! We pinned another reminder to remind you about remembering it! Well done!"

@WarnerCrocker Did you remember blackberries? Pepperidge Farm (and Apple) remembers!

A quick little proud poppa moment.
The setup and the result. 😊

@GottaLaff I've muted more instances today than I have in months...

@georgetakei I hate how much I like that joke. 😄

The next fight isn't "Who Replaces Biden on the Ballot".
The next fight is handling dozens of bogus lawsuits from the Heritage Foundation. They will try state by state (especially in swing states) to make it as difficult as possible to replace Biden on the ballot.

It does not matter if they have a real legal claim. The point is making this election as chaotic as possible, and we can be pretty sure which way the courts will swing if these challenges travel high enough up on appeal.

They're going to play dirtier than we've ever seen before.

I'm tired of winning moral victories. This is an actual fight we can't afford to lose.

Holy Crap. Biden is pulling out.

It just clicked in my brain. What I haven't been able to articulate about why I'm so anxious about #Windows Recall. I'm sure others have already gotten to where I am.

It's worse than "a system that tracks everything you do" and stores that info in a basic database that could be easily compromised.
It's worse than a nanny surveillance tool for companies to spy on their employees.

It's inescapable.

It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.

It won't matter if you're a master #security expert specialist. You can't account for EVERY other computer you've ever interacted with. If a family member looks up an old email with your personal data in it, your data is now at risk.

If THEIR system is compromised YOUR data is at risk.

I just went from "vague feeling of unease" to "actively writing templates to canvas elected officials, regulators, and attorneys general."

@tokyo_0 Yeah. I stopped paying for google cloud. We still need Office, so I have a bucket on onedrive to send files to people, but for all our daily driver data, I'm using a NAS.

@tokyo_0 It's pretty bad. I review phones, and i basically setup from scratch every time.
