Autocorrect seems to have gotten noticably worse for me in recent years. I regularly find that the entirely correct words which I type out get changed to something completely different because the autocorrect decided that I couldn’t possibly mean that word. It regularly helpfully replaces entire words after I hit space and have moved on to the next. By that time, I’m usually focused on the next word, so slip-ups that I almost never make at a dumb keyboard (like its vs. it’s, there vs. their, your vs. you’re, or were vs. where vs. wear) happen with shocking regularity unless I proofread the entire comment. As a perfect example, I had to proofread and fix multiple instances of such while typing those examples.

Absorbent towels. I guess if you’d always used fabric softener, you’d never know how much more effective towels are when they haven’t been abused by fabric softener or drier sheets.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you record your own voicemail greeting or do you just use whatever default thing your carrier does? If you do, do you make it funny or something?
10·19 days agoI added the sound of a disconnected land line to the beginning, a short pause, and then my voicemail message. Has done a pretty decent job of weeding out spam, scams, and impatient idiots.

2·19 days agoNow. That’s pretty much the situation now. If you don’t believe me, try and completely remove Edge and Copilot from an updated Windows 11.
The argument in that article is basically “Most calculators do it this way now, so that must be our convention to use, so 16 is the correct answer. Please ignore that this goes against the conventions established before calculators became transistorized.”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Diagrammatic Chess (Western, Chinese, Japanese) Options around the world?
1·20 days agoBecause the question takes a backseat to showcasing the OP’s product link. They aren’t trying to sell us on some carnivore product though (as seems to be their normal posting mode), so it was probably an accident. I guess once you start selling bullshit non-stop it’s hard to stop sounding that way. The way they were so quick to pull and regurgitate those stats about you was a real internet marketer move though. Sneaky of you to trick them into exposing how creepy they are.

That’s a subtly and nuance that will be lost on A LOT of people. Clearly it’s a distinction that OP’s roommate is not ready to confront, which probably tells us something about the attitudes of his family as well. But, in the end, it’s rarely so simple as chucking someone into a bin for convenient stereotyping based on one person’s story about another person’s feelings.

Technology@lemmy.world•DIY E-Reader Folds Open Like A Book (Diptyx)English
2·1 month agoBeing able to fold down a larger “sheet” display so that it fit in a pocket would be pretty cool. Having extra room for reading things like maps and comic books is so much better than pinching and zooming on a pocket sized display. What you call limited purpose, I call functional design. I’m kind of over all-in-one devices. They’ve turned into Jack of all trades, but master of none.
Obviously that’s not what this device is, but it got me thinking about why I’d want a device with multiple e-ink displays or a foldable display.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I deal with the outside world when I have germaphobia and don't really like outside?
3·1 month ago“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•How solar panels generate electricity
3·1 month agoBy ignoring the second half of their comment you’ve missed the subtly that “panel” is an overly broad term and there are several different kinds of panels that collect energy from the sun for human use, among them photovoltaics, panels for heating residential water (often seen as black roof panels with pipes), and complex mirror (aka reflective panels) arrangements for melting salts. All of them use panels in some form.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why does everyone put celery in soup stock?
1·1 month agoIt is a basic ingredient in mirepoix, which is used as a base for a variety of sauces, soups, gravies, and stews. It’s just one component of what is basically just a fresh vegetable mix. You can always just substitute whatever you have on hand or local that fits, just like you would with a stir-fry or fried rice. It’s less about the specific vegetables than it is about the way they are prepared and what they contribute. Onions and carrots add sweetness. Celery balances those with its saltiness. Celery and garlic feel to me like a bridge to the other proper herbs like parsley and thyme that usually go in the mirepoix I combine with a good roux to make gravy.
Not the ones that use these. Most tools are unpractical when you don’t understand how to use them.


Yes. I’m assuming your just some dude and not a telecom with teams of lawyers.
