CoggyMcFee , to Today I Learned in TIL humans are the only animal with a chin. We aren't sure why.

Because they’re sexy. We’ve been over this.

CoggyMcFee , to Technology in Apple Hits a Major Roadblock as EU Targets App Store

It is crazy when you think about it. Everybody learns about right-wing takeovers of government in history and generally agrees the outcome is pretty horrible, and yet it just happens all over again. I guess fear is a hell of a drug.

CoggyMcFee , to Ask Lemmy in iOS keyboards that don't censor "bad words"

Go to General > Keyboard > Text Replacement, and create an entry for each word you want, putting the same thing in the phrase field and the shortcut field. Then it won’t try to replace them every time.

What is wrong with you

CoggyMcFee , to Technology in New York governor to launch bill banning smartphones in schools

Like when my kid is finished with his club after school and it’s raining and he’d like me to pick him up. Or he’s at school and realizes he forgot to take his medication. One time his bike was broken and he couldn’t ride it.

I’m glad for you that you never once had a need to call home. I congratulate you. Some people do need to, and I just hope they have a way.

CoggyMcFee , to General Discussion in This Robin Williams scene perfectly encapsulates why AI is fundamentally shitty

The thing that pretty accurately predicts what I am trying to accomplish when I’m coding and more often than not generates useful code that comes next is fundamentally shitty because of what Robin Williams says here?

CoggyMcFee , to Ask Lemmy in Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it is actually “till” and “till” is not short for “until” (and “‘til” is not a word). “Until” actually came from “till”.

I’ve never heard anyone say “tell” to mean “till” so I won’t comment on that.

CoggyMcFee , to memes in Happy Juneteenth everyone!

Not every joke is a homerun, but if you don’t roll the dice, you’ll never get a bullseye

CoggyMcFee , to memes in Happy Juneteenth everyone!

If my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike

CoggyMcFee , to Showerthoughts in Just realized that "upside down" means "the up side is down", making it upside down

A good rule of thumb is that any word etymology that is an acronym is probably false if the word is more than 100 years old.

Either way, there should some way to do it without having to go to the main office and ask to use their phone or something. When I was a kid we had payphones, back when it cost a dime.

CoggyMcFee , to Technology in New York governor to launch bill banning smartphones in schools

I fully support this as long as they put the pay phones back in the schools so kids can call their parents when they need to

CoggyMcFee , to Technology in This is the “world’s first” phone call made using spatial audio

In some applications, people still say that about touch screens and they are not wrong.

Spatial Audio can be cool. In this application? I’m unconvinced.

CoggyMcFee , to ADHD memes in Reader's Block

I don’t know if this only makes a difference for me, but in case others find it useful: I use an e-reader and set it to have very large font size, resulting in a small amount of content per page. For some reason, when I spend too much time on a page, my mind starts to wander, but if I’m moving on to the next page quickly, I feel more engaged and stay with it more easily.
