Seeing this post made me flash back to how often wage theft happened to me during holidays as a teenager.

4th of July, New Year’s… Didn’t even know about time and a half.

    Everyone focuses on the typo when dude did an awesome thing. Reddit doesn’t allow title edits and GBoard is shit at producing the words you want, and then dude gets a bunch of Tina jokes.

    They got screwed thrice; by their boss, by Reddit, and by their keyboard

      Yeah, but they chose to use Reddit and gboard. Like 2/3 self-inflicted.

        On android, what keyboard do you recommend for swipe typing?

        Moving the cursor by swiping in space bar is also something I haven’t found in other keyboards

        Edit: thanks for all the replies, I’ll be checking them all out.

          I have been using SwiftKey for years and have been very happy with it. Spacebar swipe cursor movement included (but maybe in a setting).

          Heli-board (available via f-droid, be sure to apply the .lib fix)

          I use FUTO. It has built in, private, voice to text as well. I don’t swipe too often, but it seemed to work fine writing this comment.

            I swipe a lot, and can confirm FUTO’s keyboard swipe is games ahead of any FOSS keyboard.

            Unfortunately, FUTO is not FOSS, but “source-first”. That may be a turn-off for some.

          Just as an aside, I hadn’t heard of that cursor feature before, and this is wonderful. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. I have to keep my work phone loaded with all the Google/MS spyware, so I still use Gboard on that phone. This will make typing work emails a lot easier.

          FlorisBoard is a FOSS keyboard, that apparently has the space bar cursor thing (I just found that out, thank you).

          It also has glide typing but I don’t use it so idk how good it is. Still would recommend giving it a try. Very solid and customizable IMO, with FOSS privacy.

        Yeah, and they choose to participate in capitalism by being employed. What a Rube! What a buffoon! 100% self inflicted.

        Personally I’ve made my own smartphone out of glue and matchsticks, and stuff I stole from Walmart. I only post via a VPN, and only to servers that run on biofuel and solar. If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go mock the homeless for using iPhones. Have they no appreciation for the privacy they lose?

          There is like a billion free keyboards for android, even FOSS ones and you can disable the auto-complete on gBoard as well. But you go blame capitalism for every thing you mess up in your life, instead of making improvements. That will surely help.

      I mean, blame Gboard all you want, they didn’t proofread something that can’t be edited later

      That’s 100% on them and they deserve the Tina jokes

      They also deserve praise for what they did in the OP

      Reddit doesn’t allow title edits and GBoard is shit at producing the words you want

      That doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to change them before you hit “submit”.
