No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•The other day I heard a friend talking about how "the moon's gravity affects our internal organs." This sounds like bull, but is it? And if so, how would I correct their misinformation?English

15·2 years agoI honestly think the Pixel 5 is the best phone I have ever used. I have the P7 and I kind of wish I had stuck with the P5.

This is such a cool typo. I love the mental image.

New Communities@lemmy.world•Are the Straights OK? - Memes and Boomer comics about CisHet people pretending like being married, having kids, etc, is a punishmentEnglish
1·2 years agoIn a weird way I find these kind of jokes nostalgic, because they remind me of when I was a kid reading old comic books, and all the husbands seemed to hate their wives and vice versa.

Technology@beehaw.org•Meta, Microsoft, hundreds more own trademarks to new Twitter name
4·2 years agoPretty sure Sesame Street’s use of the letter X pre-dates Musk’s claim to it as well.

New Communities@lemmy.world•Men's Liberation - A Place to Discuss Men's Issues With A Focus On IntersectionalityEnglish
3·2 years agoI like the idea behind the community but it is a terrible name. Without reading an explanation, most people would assume it was some toxic, misogynistic group. I only know what it refers to because I bothered reading some of the comments here.
I’m sure there are much better names, such as Positive Masculinity for example.

Movies and TV Shows@lemmy.film•I just finished watching The Prestige (2006), and I have to say..... wow.English
1·2 years agoThe Prestige is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
I can’t imagine anything being better than SwiftKey.
And so the Aptos era begins.

Android@lemdro.id•Button navigation is objectively better than gesture navigation.English
91·2 years agoI could not disagree more. Gestures are so much more intuitive, easier to access, and faster. The three button nav bar feels like stone age technology to me now.
I’m a high school teacher and I recently was discussing this. Protip: don’t talk to 14 year olds about how if something is in between hard and soft, it’s firm. 🙄

Android@lemdro.id•July 2023 Android security update rolls out to Google Pixel and some Samsung Galaxy phonesEnglish
2·2 years agoJust keep tapping Check for Updates and you’ll get it eventually. You have a random chance of picking it up each time. It only took me two tries.

Android@lemdro.id•Discussion: Lemmy Apps galore! Share your thoughts on them and what comes next!English
191·2 years agoI have tried these:
- Jerboa
- wefwef
- Liftoff
- Connect
- Thunder
After spending some time with each one, I’ve settled on Liftoff. It has the cleanest, nicest and most configurable UI (IMO), and most things just work. The developer is also actively fixing bugs and making improvements. It’s not perfect, but none of them are yet.
I’ve come from Boost, which pretty much was perfect, and Liftoff seems the closest to it. It will be interesting to see what the Lemmy version of Boost is like.


Notepad is the default text editor on Windows. I’d be surprised if most people even knew WordPad existed.
