    Having an editor with spell checking makes me deeply sad whenever I’m viewing code.

    Ah, I see you also have that’s Gboard

    (I literally swiped “ghosts Gboard” twice to get the advice above. Oh look, it happened again)

        Ya it’s in the name. Google is synonymous with tracking and lack of privacy. Just another bit we give up to live in the most advanced and free country in the civilized world, governed by it’s its citizens and not a conglomerate of corporate overlords selling our minds by inches.

        Yup.

          I don’t use Google (aside from AOSP).

      My Gboard started doing that when I type normally!

      I gave up using swipe typing because it loves to pick words I never say, have never said, and will never say (especially not in the context of the rest of the sentence, that Gboard knows about and will offer (incorrect) corrections on)

      A couple of times I’ve had it autocorrect to complete gibberish. Go home, GBoard, you’re drunk.

    The autocorrect not being able to accommodate my use of bad words was my reason to turn it off. It’s so fucking annoying, a corporation will not tell me which words I can and cannot use.

            I think the profanity filter used to be non-optional on iOS’s autocorrect.

    I have a new phone since a week or two. I really miss my previous autocorrect. It was perfectly honed to my liking. Now it’s just generic bullshit that completely misses the point of my artistic freedom. However, I’m full on re-educating that mf right now. It is on the recieving end of my wrath. Christian gay conversion camp therapists could learn a thing or two from my resolve.
