Peter Drake HAS MOVED @peterdrake@qoto.org

This was a challenge for me and I have a PhD in computer science. I don't know how normal people deal with this stuff. I guess they just pick one ecosystem and surrender.

Setting @firefox@twitter.com + @gmail@twitter.com as your default mail program in @Windows@twitter.com required EDITING THE REGISTRY! The instructions at https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-other_settings/how-to-set-firefox-gmail-as-windows-default/296816f4-e2d7-48dd-ae71-84d18a02dc18 are almost correct, but of course everything has moved, so you'll dig for the analogous entry that makes it work for @googlechrome@twitter.com.

It took some work, but I got Screen Sketch to work with the @surface@twitter.com. You have to download @Acrobat@twitter.com Reader (which, weirdly, installs @googlechrome@twitter.com), Ctrl-L to fullscreen, and then double-click the pen eraser to open the tool.

Yes, of course I've written software with bugs, but my resources for testing are somewhat more limited.

Every time I download a program for my @surface@twitter.com, it tells me "SmartScreen can't be reached right now". The number of basic features of Windows that never work leaves me ... well, not so much surprised as disappointed.

A lot of nouns (gift, leverage, etc.) are becoming verbs. What words are moving in the other direction? @GrammarGirl@twitter.com

Two upsides about the @surface@twitter.com Pro 6: It is exactly the right size, that is, as large as can held in one hand. The pen also beats a finger, because it's more precise and you can hover with it.

Ross Perot has died. He got almost 19% of the popular vote in 1992 -- and zero electoral votes. The Electoral College erases third parties.

I tried asking the "Virtual Agent" on the @surface@twitter.com web page". OF COURSE it's useless.

It's not just me, and apparently this problem has existed for years: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/all/virtual-keyboard-always-on-top-instead-of-docked/1c433043-18c2-462c-8b2a-34808d69c422?auth=1

UX fail: the virtual keyboard on @surface@twitter.com appears on top of where you're trying to type (e.g., bottom of a Google doc). On my Android the app is compressed to make room for the keyboard. Can anyone explain why @Microsoft@twitter.com chose to do it the useless way?
