  • MessagEase going subscription based

    Jump

  • Give it time. You get used to it. Eventually, you will probably type more accurately than you did before. A qwerty or any full keyboard like that does not belong on a small screen. :-)

  • Shunned in computer age, cursive makes a comeback in California

    Jump

  • I'm 40 and our teacher explained why cursive was a thing in elementary school. I figured we were learning it so we could sign our name.

    Take computers out of the picture. How long have we been using ballpoint pens? Cursive was obsolete even before computers took over how we write.

  • iPhone survives 16,000 foot drop from Alaska Airlines flight where panel ripped off

    Jump

  • The only iPhone to be dropped and not get a cracked screen fell out of an airplane!

  • Google Will Turn Off Cookies for 30 Million People on January 4

    Jump

  • This is not a great article. So many words with so little information. In other articles I found it sounds like Chrome is finally getting third party cookie blocking. Other browsers have had thir for years. Its nothing new.

  • Quest owners can use Word, Excel, and PowerPoint in VR, but do you really want to?

    Jump

  • Instead of scanning with your eyes you need to turn your head with the extra weight of VR on.

  • New BLUFFS attack lets attackers hijack Bluetooth connections

    Jump

  • Jokes on them. I was already listening to baby shark on loop.

  • X will begin charging new users $1 a year to access key features including the ability to tweet and retweet.

    Jump

  • And he will do that for you at the low price of only $1. Better do it now before the price goes up.

  • Xenomorph Android malware now targets U.S. banks and crypto wallets

    Jump

  • With Lineage OS, you probably can. It also seems to becoming more logical for common users to wipe and reinstall occasionally. Not that it is easy to do. It just seems like a lot of malware is hitting phones and that is likely to get worse.

  • TIL past psilocybin use is strongly associated with working less overtime hours

    Jump

  • Air traffic controller here. I only work overtime on pysilocybin.

  • California workers who cut countertops are dying of an incurable disease

    Jump

  • That is sad to hear. I live in an area where almost no one wore masks. Even at the hight of the pandemic. Our local pharmacies got a bunch of N95s for free to give away free. There was supposed to be a limit but since no one was using them they would give me a lot of extra. I'm guessing they still have boxes stacked up somewhere.

    Its also sad that this could have probably been prevented by using a wet saw with water hooked up. Anyone who has cut stone once without a wet saw walks away knowing they shouldn't have been breathing that.

  • Strange light phenomenon seen before some earthquakes is a long-standing mystery. Here’s what scientists think it means

  • Avoiding tunnel vision when debugging

    Jump

  • Awesome! I found out this worked for me years ago when I was a lone dev. I would walk around muttering to myself. Glad to know there is a term I can use now!

  • Avoiding tunnel vision when debugging

    Jump

  • Sometimes I step away from the screen and talk out is happening in my head.

    Often times my coworkers and I will ask each other for help. Much of the time the person explaining will see the problem as they explain it to the other person. Usually before the other person has a chance to get the full explanation.

  • Leftover Humble Bundle Keys giveaway

    Jump
    • Sundered
    • The Henry Stickmin Collection

    Hopefully one or both of these is available still. Thanks for doing this!

  • Which is the least no fuss mainstream phone manufacture?

    Jump

  • Most phone manufactures create their own version of Android. Usually they are pretty full of useless junk and a ton of UI changes. By saying "mostly Android" you're urually saying "mostly [original] Android".

  • From FaceID to Amazon One, should you share biometric data online?

    Jump

  • Local storage can still be part of the cloud.

  • How many people actually dropped Reddit for Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I dropped it for the Fediverse. I decided to use kbin after trying Lemmy for a bit.

  • This was always super liminal to me because you're in this position so rarely and only for a moment.

    Jump

  • I haven't been on a plane in about 10 years. That moment in this space is a great example of a liminal space. Your post brought me right to that feeling of being on the plane but not being on the plane.

  • Huntington Beach City Council approves banning mask and vaccine mandates

    Jump

  • Where I live, there were mandates but no one enforced it and no one cared. During the worst of the pandemic it was odd to see someone with a mask. Some stores would have a sign saying you would not be allowed in unless you had a mask. Then you get in and no one had a mask on, not even employees.

    I wonder what it was like in Huntington Beach.
