    insurance price bike

    I know exactly what you meant but these typos are strangely hilarious. Cheers, we all make silly typos sometimes. Me especially when I’m typing on a phone because I hate using autocorrect.

    For anyone confused: car manufacturers / price hike

      Look what you did? You opened a can of worms. Lmao. You could have just let it slide and I would have caught it, because I’m a maniac and always go back to my comments and re-read them.

      This is 100% Gboard autocorrecting words that are already correct. It feels the need to speak for me. I’m so fucking sick of it changing already correct words to what it thinks I need to type. I’ve even fucking emailed Google about it. They think they’re helping us type better and faster, but they’re actually making us type slower, as we have to fucking double check everything we type.

        If I were a conspiracy theorist I’d say they’re deliberately making it shittier to push voice-to-text for that sweet, sweet AI training data.

        But I think it’s probably just incompetence. Keyboards from a decade ago were a lot better at learning your typing/swiping patterns, I feel.

          I don’t think it’s a conspiracy. Like you said, it’s incompetence. I’ve found a better keyboard luckily. FUTO. It’s baserd on the AOSP keyboard and it even has sliders to make autocorrect more or less aggressive, and to get a local AI involved more or less as you please. Keyboard is FOSS, too. Fuck Google Keyboard 🖕🏽

        You realize you could have turned the auto correct off probably 100 times over the amount you have complained about it right? Takes 2 seconds.

          Have you tried typing without it? It’s so fucking painful with my fat fingers. No worries, though. I’ve found a better keyboard. Free and open source. FUTO Keyboard. I’ll keep using it over Google’s shit. Thanks to Louis Rossmann

            Man, the vitriol on display here is wild for what is, in the end, both a ridiculously minor problem and a ridiculously easy fix.

            I have not, but it doesn’t bother me. Glad you found something that works for you.

          That’s certainly what I did years ago now. I think for some folks old habits die hard and people aren’t wrong that it used to be better. 🤷

            I don’t know why you got downvoted. You’re right, it’s really difficult typing without autocorrect now. It was easier on physical T9, but this is all touch and you’ll keep missing.
