There’s also voice user interfaces! I’m not sure if it goes by another name, but blind people have their own way of using a phone, plus there’s a lot of voice control when driving or using Alexa and the like

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•[US] Should there be an amendment that allows Supreme Court rulings to be overturned?
4·16 days agoThat just means the law in question is the Constitution, which can also be amended.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Would you want to be Michael Jackson-level famous? Why or why not?
1·17 days agoI’m a white guy who went to a wedding in rural India. That attention alone got to be a bit much after a few days.
Also, I would have to be stupidly careful about pretty much everything. Hackers would actually think to target me AND could have an incentive to do so knowing I’ve got money (gained by fraud or blackmail if I’m not careful). In my current life I go to clothing-optional places pretty regularly (not a sex club or anything) and that would pretty much have to stop.
Just let me be rich in a way that nobody knows it, preferably not even my own friends.

Technology@lemmy.world•While refrigerators and air conditioners still rely on gases that can leak, a Cambridge startup raises $10 million to create refrigeration with plastic crystals that cool when squeezed.English
4·22 days agoYou’re missing out! He basically picks out random technologies and stuff that interests him and explains how they work in an easy to digest way. Even if you’re familiar with the subject he still manages to make it interesting. And he looooves heat pumps and anything remotely related to it.

9·23 days agoSqueezing (pressurizing) certain gases are basically how air conditioners work. Under pressure, the gases can absorb more heat (think pressure cooker - those get hotter because they raise the boiling point of water with the higher pressure). Shuffle that pressurized gas somewhere else with lower pressure, and it can no longer hold all that heat and needs to release it. Tada: heat has been moved from one location to another.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump has a better understanding of the Bible than Pope Leo, says conservative Christian pastor
9·25 days agoAnd the Pope would probably only reference a few specific passages, probably doesn’t even know any others. If President Trump said he loves them all, then CLEARLY he’s read them all!

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Why does songs from non-English countries have random English words? Can you imagine if English songs randomly have Chinese words?

20·26 days agoNot just songs, but all the other languages showing up in English comes up conversationally too! When you did something wrong, there’s the “mea culpa”. Or in the courts, there are tons of Latin phrases like “nolo contendre”. I’ve had “perritos calientes” (hot dogs, literally hot puppies) in Spain, but never have I had a “giant cheese” (quesadilla) or “little donkey” (burrito) in the states. And we just borrow other phrases as-is like “Je ne sais quoi” and schadenfreude.

Side note, I have this illness (probably mental, but I’ve been told otherwise) where I’m a Dad. This causes me to sing ridiculous things for no reason. Every time I get some markdown croissants for breakfast the next morning and offer one to my wife, I ALWAYS start singing “Voulez-vous would you like a croissant, croissant?”
Hopefully one day they will find a cure





Since that’s the only thing we really care about beyond the headline
