do you actually use the iphone keyboard for anything but pw form entry? swiftkey knows how i type and adjusts accordingly

keyboards that don't swipe just make me think of people who hunt and peck now

but hey, needs suited are needs suited this isn't some kind of silly place to argue about operating systems and methods of input and their relative inferiority

as far as im concerned itunes still has the best ui for managing a local library. yes its clunky and bloated and the ui is actually not very good, but what are u going to use to manage 25,000+ songs, foobar? vlc?

my phone keeps trying to autocorrect words to the name of a company I interviewed at over a year ago. I’ve tried resetting the keyboard dictionary but it somehow won’t let me forget that I failed the on site

what is the point of the outbox exactly?

like it had a purpose back in dial-up internet days i guess but i've not seen an email persist in the outbox for more than like 1 second in a long time. a long time.

I installed Mojave on an older MacBook Pro and the screensaver doesn’t work. Won’t come on. Don’t know how to fix it, but I imagine it involves register entries.

also if theres some weird fuckup between the client and the server (password tomfoolery, exceeded storage quota, etc) - its a place for the mail to sit unsent whilst awaiting the resolution of the problem

I don’t use third party keyboards because I don’t want everything I type getting sent off to Google or whoever (or Microsoft in the case of SwiftKey)

And yes, I know third party keyboards dont have network access etc by default, but that doesnt stop every one of them and their accompanying app from asking for it. SwiftKey also wants me to let it sign in to all social media accounts to "learn my writing style"

Yeah, how about gently caress no.

it feels snappier with most words though

they just become gestures with a pretty big margin of error



and then this to correct for user lazy

Swipe keyboards are annoying, there's always that one word they don't like to write. Also, tapping with two thumbs is way faster.

Swiping keyboards are for grandma.

i would easily send my typing off to microsoft if they would just port the excellent wp keyboard on other os's instead of this swiftkey crap

not least granted the wp keyboard was backed by way better dictionaries, but it was a better typing experience too
