Well iPad and iPhone did have the same OS at first, so they knew how to do that. I would have preferred when they forked iPad OS out for them to have converged desktop and iPad instead of making a 3rd distinct OS variant. I can't reasonably say that a docked iPad is the same as a Mac, as commercial apps I use have different versions, with different capabilities, for iPad and Mac. Things like Adobe Lightroom andIK Multimedia Amplitube. But my Surface Pro has one set of apps whether I'm docked at home, using a clamshell keyboard case, or as a tablet and pen. That's more useful to me than having a really well polished and dedicated tablet OS.

I'm thinking this is the opposite direction, with the enhanced desktop mode in Android 16. You hook your phone up to a KVM and get Chrome desktop, complete with containerized Linux apps and your mobile apps staying on your mobile device.

Apple doesn't exactly try to converge OS platform, even forking off iPad OS from iOS.

Microsoft's converged desktop and tablet OS hasn't been well regarded.

Google's efforts to make Android well suited on tablets has been poorly maintained.

I did find ChromeOS Flex on an old Surface Pro 3 to be a pretty good tablet experience. I'm cautiously optimistic about this, though I haven't tried the desktop mode on my Pixel 7.

Lincoln should have had every single one of them rounded up and shot after the war

Given that he was killed during Reconstruction, I'd put that on Andrew Johnson (a Southern Democrat) and the Congress.

I also remember at least some scientists at the time arguing that climate change was a better term because people are particularly stupid about the term global warming when it paradoxically results in some places having a greater number of and more extreme cold events.

That's how I recall the term climate change coming into favor, too.

Proud to stand against the will of the people - Missouri GOP

Republicans haven't been the party of Lincoln since the Southern Stratgey.

All it's going to take is Dem voters to actually fucking show up. Harris and Biden both received more votes in Texas then did Abbott in his elections. We only had 45% turnout in 2022.

This would be correct for a locality where you are required to keep left on bidirectional roads.

This is how it works on BlueSky. And you can detach your original post from someone else's quote post of it after-the-fact.

more like monetizing the Dunning Kruger effect.

And to say millenials invented online bullying ...

Over 200 people died in winter storm Uri, we had the Uvakde shooting, and then 2022 had insanely low turnout (like 45%) and the Republicans held onto control at all levels in the state. This is another absolutely tragic loss of life, but I'd be surprised if it impacts their votes (Abbott won Uvalde county).

I'm just hit the god damn stop/cancel button if you want to stop it before the timer reaches zero.

Fucking Monster.

Is there a weather service that doesn't?
