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. :-)

News@lemmy.world•Shunned in computer age, cursive makes a comeback in California
8·2 years agoI’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.

7·2 years agoAnd he will do that for you at the low price of only $1. Better do it now before the price goes up.
Air traffic controller here. I only work overtime on pysilocybin.

News@lemmy.world•California workers who cut countertops are dying of an incurable disease
19·3 years agoThat 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.

Android@lemmy.world•Which is the least no fuss mainstream phone manufacture?
1·3 years agoMost 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”.

News@lemmy.world•Huntington Beach City Council approves banning mask and vaccine mandates
31·3 years agoWhere 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.

[Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation@lemmy.world•I've been blocking ads for so long that actually seeing them feels perverse
3·3 years agoWhat a great way to put it. Years ago my wife was annoyed when I started blocking ads because it was effecting streaming on some apps. Now if an ad gets through look out!
When we see ads, it is so annoying. Page loads are clunky and games blast you with ads.

Android@lemmy.world•Google removed Island and Shelter apps from the Play Store
2·3 years agoGlad its still working. I’ve been using Island for a while now. Maybe it is because I used Shelter for a long time but I like it better. I’m going to switch back if its still working :–)

2·3 years agoIs anyone going to do anything?
I hear there are plans to start changing in 15-20 years. Nothing to worry about.
It is called OSMAnd~ on F-Droid. It does not have support for AndroidAuto. I ended up buying the licensed version for that and to support the devs.
For online and offline GPS I love OSMAnd+ since it has AndroidAuto support and tons of other features.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•What are your favorite resources (guides, studies, etc) to learn about privacy?
7·3 years agoI have always liked EFF’s Surveillance Self-Defense. Hopefully they are keeping them current.

The downloads list suddenly won’t load anymore. I was going to get the last version before they added the notice to get pro.
