  • Google Podcasts to shut down in 2024

    Jump

  • Pocket Casts is great - I've used it (on the free tier) for years. If I didn't use this I would jump to Podcast Addict

  • Noise-canceling robots to 'mute' loud conversations in cafe | What if we told you that we can actually silence a noisy table right next to us in a café?

    Jump

  • Yes - but 3db is twice the energy, which is what matters when it comes to damaging your cochlea

  • Smart Lock has disappeared from my Pixel - anyone else?

    Jump

  • Thanks - that's half addressed the mystery. So on the one hand I was looking in the wrong place and your links pointed me right. But on the other hand, when I go there trusted devices has indeed disappeared - it now only offers on-body detection and trusted places. Weird

  • It's time to replace urban delivery vans

    Jump

  • Most U.S. adults don't believe benefits of AI outweigh the risks, new survey finds

    Jump

  • You need to read some Iain M Banks. His Culture novels are essentially in that future where AI runs everything. A lot of his characters are essentially looking for meaning within such a world

  • Hands-on: ‘Watch Unlock’ on Pixel Watch is shockingly quick and easy

    Jump

  • I already use a (Garmin) smartwatch to unlock my phone using the Smart Lock feature (which can use any Bluetooth device to unlock your phone when in range). From the sound of it, the difference here is that the range is way shorter. I guess that's a tiny improvement over what I have now, as in theory somebody in the same room as me could unlock my phone if I wasn't looking, but it's not exactly a game-changer

  • TIL the adjective 'daily' in the lord's prayer is actually written in the original Greek as epiousion, which occurs nowhere else in known history

    Jump

  • Is it, though? Or is it saying "Give us our basic staple needs"? It would be useful if a theologian could chip in on the dates, but I suspect this prayer predates bready communion

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Until recently I had both a Samsung phone and a Samsung tablet. According to my PiHole, the phone wasn't too bad, but that tablet was contacting Samsung almost constantly

  • The public think everything has got worse under the Tories, a new poll has found

    Jump

  • Except the UK doesn't have democracy. It has first past the post voting, which does not reflect the will of the people and leads to millions of votes being wasted

  • Grindr loses nearly half its staff to strict return-to-work rule

    Jump

  • All I can say is that I manage a team of people and frequently get the following two messages: "I don't want to come to the office. I feel very isolated working by myself at home - oh my mental health." What are we supposed to do with this?

  • Grindr loses nearly half its staff to strict return-to-work rule

    Jump

  • I know the Lemmy/Reddit hive mentality is all "Let me work at home, there's zero benefit to being in the office", but there's another side. We've never had a workforce so disengaged, isolated and feeling no sense of community.

  • Updated Edge and it now seems to put a frame with rounded corners around every website

    Jump

  • As it's Microsoft, you can be pretty sure the option to turn off the new look and feel will be removed in 6 months

  • Google Maps tests new design on Android with different default map colors

    Jump

  • I felt that Google Maps has been getting ever harder to read. The palette had moved towards a grey-on-grey scheme with very little contrast. This new scheme looks less distinctive... But I think that's a good thing given how hard it was too read the old one sometimes

  • For first time 50% of California diesel fuel is replaced by clean fuels | Low Carbon Fuel Standard drives shift away from petroleum

    Jump

  • Greenwashing. Driving your pickup truck to buy a Starbucks still isn't okay even if you've ravaged land to grow food that nobody can eat rather than burning fossil reserves

  • ‘It all disappeared with Brexit’: Craft beer boom ends as more than 100 UK firms go bust

    Jump

  • Exactly. The problem is not that the lie was convincing - the problem is that so many people wanted to believe the lie

  • Oil draining over the hot exhaust? Sounds good guys, let's sign it off and start production!

    Jump

  • I know that's a solution, but as a solution to bad design it's a little bit "Just wear a rubber glove to stop your oven electrocuting you". Yeah sure, but maybe design it better?

  • What is a good hobby for a depressed person? : asklemmy

    Jump

  • When Humans Use Water for Something, Is it Gone For Good or Does It Return To the Water Cycle?

    Jump

  • Another factor to add to these answers: if the water has been treated (if it's mains water), then a not inconsiderable amount of electricity (and so carbon emissions) will have been used to treat it, and probably quite a lot more electricity will have been used to pump it around the country. So using water is also burning energy

  • Now that smaller instances are disappearing, which instances do you think will stand the test of time?

    Jump

  • You're right, it at the same time a small number of people trying to post regularly, regardless of whether they've got something that really needs posting, doesn't tend to provide high-quality content - and I fear that's what we're seeing a lot on Lemmy right now.
