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.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft Edge Pushes an "All in One Browser" Message on Chrome’s Download PageEnglish
2·20 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.

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.

21·1 month agoIt’s okay, you don’t need to beat the poor lame joke to death just because YOU didn’t get it. It’s okay to just let it go.
No. Soulseek is old school P2P. All you need to do is run the client software, set a local shared folder, and your are client and server in one. Funkwhale is more like running your own Lemmy instance and building a community. The difference between them is like the difference between using Airdrop or Syncthing to share files and hosting hosting your own domain and server.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting?English
2·2 months agoThis needs to be copypasta’d as a reply to every comment suggesting that opening up jellyfin to the internet is easy and everyone should do it to get away from Plex.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•New Community Rule: "No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports."English
41·2 months agoSelf-hosting is inherently not low effort. This isn’t memes or shitposts. This is people helping people that are trying to help themselves, a.k.a. people making an effort. Communities rely on the discretion of mods and rules specific to the community focus. If this community didn’t have some kind of bar to meet for low effort posts it would drive away participants and contributors more interested in higher effort and more interesting topics. It gets real old seeing people ask and answer the same basic questions about Plex, Jellyfin, *arrs, and docker all the time. Worrying about if this rule will be abused seems premature. Besides (as others have pointed out) there are other communities with similar interests, if you’re that concerned that your spammy no-context YouTube video got deleted, please go try your luck elsewhere.

Offgrid living@slrpnk.net•Buy this offgrid house, and you’ll need to evict yourself each Christmas
1·3 months agoI really wish the article would at least attempt to clarify the WHY and the HOW of what I assume is some sort of deed restriction. National Park with residency restrictions? Home Owners Association? Not actually a sale and in fact just a lease? With little to no actual reporting going of in the article past the headline, this feels like either a nothing burger or plain fake/false/misinterpreted reporting to generate engagement. And that, discourages me from wanting to engage any further with my own research.

Programming@programming.dev•DidMySettingsChange - A python script that checks if windows changed your settings behind your back
4·4 months agoCan this keep num lock engaged? I swear my biggest frustration with windows lately is it’s habit of randomly and arbitrarily turning off numlock after I’ve turned it on. I never turn off numlock while working. I never use the number pad arrows. I prefer the number pad numbers and use them practically all day. And yet, several times a day I find my cursor moving around the screen instead of typing a number because windows decided that it got to control the numlock function instead of me and the dedicated light up key designed for that function that has worked fine for me for decades before.

5·4 months agoMaybe, but the insurance companies that would normally pay the insanely marked up price do care and will arbitrarily choose the option (of paying the bill or billing you) that profits them the most. The plan was always to kill poor people in every little bureaucratic way possible.

Technology@lemmy.world•What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025?English
2·4 months agoMy smartphone isn’t a phone with “extra” features to me. My smartphone is a portable personal computer with extra sensors, a GPS receiver, and wireless internet, which also happens to have a phone app. I don’t want to carry an extra “dumb” phone. I would prefer my smart watch to be the communication and identity hub for me and my devices: holding the SIM card, acting as a wifi hotspot, routing calls and internet to my handheld brick or laptop, etc. Instead of acting like a third party add-on, it would be a mostly distraction free core. Let me use a smartphone, laptop, steam deck, cobbled together cyber deck, or whatever else have you as my local screen, storage cache, and/or proper desktop. Then I can put the screens down or leave them behind without feeling cut off or potentially stranded in a world that practically requires it to navigate with any ease. I want a smart watch that enables me to leave the house without car keys, driver’s license, and credit cards; essentially with nothing but my watchphone. I want to be a cyberpunk Dick Tracy. What I want, with the freedoms and open standards I want, with the privacy I want, without being locked into a single monopoly walled garden, is probably a pipe dream. I want what is probably the next evolution of the “year of the Linux desktop”. But a kid can dream.
Yes. I’m assuming your just some dude and not a telecom with teams of lawyers.
