Not super exciting story, but this just happened like 10mins ago. I was looking for Radon Mitigiation service near me and made a typo and spelled Radon as “Rason”, it autocorrected to “Ramen”.
Why would anyone want to mitigate ramen.
Too much sodium
add 2/3 potatoes
.
except they use it, and they’re on lemmy. Zealotry doesn’t lead to anything good

Zealotry convinced me to go vegan. After a few months on r/vegancirclejerk listening to them make fun of carnist rationalisations, I realised I really didn’t have an excuse for eating meat.
and I say yay, as long as you don’t expect me to become one too
I expect you not to pay people to kill innocents, regardless of the intelligence of the victim, because I do not believe in fascist arguments that the less capable are less deserving of decent treatment.
Ok, but you better be prepared for the fact that I don’t give a shit :)
I use a Windows PC for work with Chrome because we are on G suite and it’s just easier that way. I am constantly annoyed by how terrible the spellcheck is within chrome. It did not used to be this bad. It highlights “thier” as misspelled but only suggests thief theirs and shier. Yeah… ok google. Expect me to believe that when AI is in every thing. I can run a LLM on same the laptop OFFLINE. Word 93 knew to autocorrect to their with no internet and no ai. Of course you get frustrated, go to settings and see this stupid little toggle. Fucking Google already… it will only get worse. They’re already key-logging you they just want to pay out less on a future class action settlement. Like the one they just settled for tracking user data during incognito sessions. God damned Google. Oh sorry, I mean aLpHaBeT. You guys like letters now do ya Google? Well here are my faves. F and U !
I’ve always wondered how that works. Are their databases just too large and it fucks up returns or is there someone smart out there purposely returning bad searches constantly to ruin their spell check. Is their dev inept? Lol.
Gboard was my go to for ages but finding a different keyboard on mobile has not been fun for off brand phones.
Sadly, the best alternative to GBoard on Android is Simple Keyboard, cause the spell check and word prediction on the other alternatives is more annoying than helpful, so it’s better to use an app that literally just writes what you type.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Foenthose wonderinf thisnid what Intyped without autocorrrect doing what I normally wpild. Simple Keyboard does not have an autocorrevt at all.
brave better
Noooo! Still Chromium based.
Get Firefox (.com), for the future of the web :)
Still chromium and therefore supporting of Google’s stranglehold on web standards
Still have cryptobro stuff in the browser (admittedly, though, it’s not difficult to turn off)
And the CEO was fired from Mozilla for being massively homophobic, so I’ll pass on supporting him.
It’s so fucking annoying how I can’t turn grammar check off in google docs on my phone. I’m not sure how bad grammar check is if you write in English, but in Finnish it’s such a clusterfuck because it always tries to ‘correct’ compound words and doesn’t understand declension.
It’s tolerable if you’re writing something quite prescribed; business reports, perhaps. It’s too limited and obsessed with tedious bullshit if you’re writing prose, say. It wouldn’t do to express yourself.
Google has already gotten you there, like a million times
So what’s a good alt keyboard on Android? (for swiping)
Use OpenBoard, https://github.com/openboard-team/openboard
Florisboard is great and all but its annoying without the predictive text, and i doubt they’re ever gonna add it
https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard/discussions/2314#discussion-5761611
According to this it’s still planned, though time will tell.
Seems like openboard does not have swipe?
https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard
It lacks predictive text but it’s in development.
Gotta love modern technology that can’t keep up with T9 from the 90’s.
You done a lot of swipe typing on your phone in the 90’s?
No, did a fuck tonne of correct spelling though.
It has swipe?
It does
“I’m not a cop you can trust me”
Is this some kind of Chrome meme that I’m too Firefox to understand?
Jokes on
youhumanity, hitting ‘no’ is just another data point that they can use to compare you to millions of other people and use the aggregate data to predict what you’re probably going to do anyway.Got something similar on my fire stick the other day. It said it could help me get back to the shows I love watching faster if I turn on the new feature that shares all the data from the different apps directly with Amazon.
The only options were yes and ask later. I had to go to settings to find and turn it off.

Anyone know where to turn this on? I might want this. My spelling is so bad I often have to do this anyway.
Google- seeing as your response was in a mirror we decided to turn on this feature. Deactivation will require you to call the help desk.
also, there is no help desk.
What is ‘advanced spell check’ anyway? A double red line goes under the words you really spell the wrong way?
