    Is it just me, or does autocorrect paper-over the fact that touch-screen keyboards are kind of garbage?

    For me, turning off autocorrect reveals how hard it is to be both accurate and precise with key presses on these things.

      I’ve been using thumbkey for a while now. The first few days were torture but once you’re used to it there’s no going back.

        Flickboard over here, I don’t necessarily type as fast as I did with qwerty, but my sentences don’t get horribly garbled with the wrong letters all over the place

      kind of the opposite for me. i never use autocorrect, and when i type in a very long password, i am always surprised how often i get it first try

      Happens to me all the time. I also find even when I use proper grammar it will get messed up when I post. Because I read over it before I post and still isn’t right. Most times I say fuck it. I just hate using a tiny keyboard, but I am not sitting at a desk doing Lemmy all day.
