if you have a group of ideas people should people with left or right wing views be excluded because they have life views that offend you? isn't the act of exclusion what causes these views to start?

are we not equipped to listen to, and hear alternative views even if we don't agree with them?

Doesn't closing our ears, and not understanding a viewpoint cause more problems?

fatal mistake, the sun was out, didn't think I needed a jacket, it's 7:30am, April in the UK..

brrrrr

didn't want breakfast anyway

watched Captain Marvel last night, pretty evident since Thor: Ragnarok how Marvel have taken a slight detour on the formula they use to make these movies more inclusive.

standouts
amazing soundtrack (I'm an 80s kid)
SFX for Gregg Clack and Samuel L Jackson were good especially the latter, the former had that uncanny valley feeling occasionally
Brie Larson was good, not amazing yeslt, hut good

Amusing line

"my name, is Carol"

stuck using #WhatsApp for the family

currently using #signal with the wife (she loves anything encrypted, feels like a covert ops person apparently)

converting the rest of the tribe is nigh on impossible..

#newton i remember it working so much better across devices, did something change?

I've ended up using the Blackberry Hub apps on Android and Chromebook and have to say Blackberry have almost nailed the single interface communication hub for my workflow..

in my continued search for a decent mail app, something very personal.. I'd gone back to Newton,however was finding for its benefits of a single login presenting the presetup accounts, it wasn't carrying read/unread settings across platforms.. (bug raised)

last night someone suggested Blackberry Hub+ and I'm smitten after a day.. amazing, suits my needs perfectly.

shame it doesn't work (no device admin) on Chrome OS..

I will fix...

Having attended the #photographyshow at the #nec this week it struck me how ironic that a hobby which your eyes are so important so few people were able to look where they were going on the show floor.

there was more OCD and introverted behaviour going on at this show than ant IT trade show I've attended...

so yet again Google appear to be fragmenting themselves by building a desktop style android interface into #androidq

why? this large format android display failed in tablets and they have a large format desktop interface call Chrome OS which runs Android Apps and runs on Arm processors

who is it at #Google who can't see they have won convergence already they just need to put the puzzle together..

so having tried the top 5 recommended Podcast apps on the play store I'm convinced the moaning about #pocketcasts is bandwagon moaning.. by edge cases who are the reason things don't move forward..

pocket casts is still for me the best podcast app in Android

off to the #cotswolds today, camera packed, batteries charged, waterproof jacket ready..

not tried this yet.. good to see happening, of course would be nirvana to plug my android phone into a monitor and get a Chrome OS desktop with my android apps and Crostini apps..

spent the evening waiting for a train writing slightly sarcastic but not rude or negative reviews of places like "railway carpark","Waitrose meat aisle" or "clock tower in town centre" that come up on Google maps..

seems my sarcastic tone may have escaped some...

getting replies back 🤔

while I didn't really get bothered by the #pocketcast upgrade, the web interface is on a different design path.. I did however give podcast addict a try, and it's not bad.

this is the problem more than any other the pocket cast Devs have, they are not the only game in town...

loving Jenkins pipelines, got all my homeland Cron jobs converted to Jenkins pipelines now, get far better understanding of what's going on centrally managed.

so I've got my Chromebook setup with Docker, Jenkins, Gitlab, git, VSCode, letsEncrypt, Ansible, terraform, cockpit and Powershell for Linux all running locally.. as well as nautilus, evolution and signal as apps...

still a few issues like chmod/chosen on SD card mounts

however I've got a mobile devops setup in Crostini..

what I can't do with a blue (green) Hawaiian, I made up for with a "painkiller"

Saturday night, cocktail night.. let's go green
