Fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone. So you'd pick it up and your finger would naturally fall on the sensor, so that by the time you look at the screen, it's unlocked.

I still like "Tell my WiFi love her".

Kids misbehaving in school. "Kids are so rude these days." "Young people don't show respect anymore."

I'm pretty sure that every generation had its bad eggs in the classroom and nothing has changed.

I'm not sure if paying for your groceries makes you entitled.

This rebrand is so dumb in so many ways.

Match threads on sporting communities with hundreds of people commenting during the match.

I 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.

If I go to somecommunity@lemmy.world while I am logged in to my lemm.ee account and tap the share icon, it creates a link to somecommunity@lemm.ee when it should be @lemmy.world.

The Prestige is one of the best movies I've ever seen.

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. 🙄

One of the many reasons I will only ever buy Pixel phones. No bloatware.

I trialled 5 different lemmy apps for Android and IMO Liftoff was the standout best. Looks good, runs smooth and the dev is quick to fix bugs and issue updates.

If I go directly to lemm.ee in the browser (Chrome), log in, and change the view to Subscribed, I often see posts from communities I am not subscribed to.

While I agree that Warner is no longer up to Test standard, does Australia have anyone to replace him with?

Harris has already failed in his several chances and would probably be a downgrade. Renshaw was very poor in India. I'm not convinced about Bancroft. Who else is there?

Yeah it's a bit of a weird situation, isn't it? Same names but different communities. I actually think this is a bit of a barrier to new users. It's not an intuitive situation and doesn't immediately make sense. I think it adds to the "this is all too confusing" problem that is inherent in the fediverse.

I love these guys. Grab a few seeds from a local park, take them home and watch them sprout.

The Moreton Bay Chestnut (aka black bean tree, or three bean tree) is native to south east Queensland and grows into a large tree, unless kept in a pot.
