Seriously why I turn off autocorrect. 80% of the time, the autocorrection is worse than submitting a damn normal typo. It’s bad enough when it’s only trying to correct spelling. All the autopunctuation and junk is just pure suffering… I hate a one-character typo turning in to erasing a whole-ass wrong word with extra capitalization that’s not even supposed to be there just because I hit spacebar before noticing.
Not if I turn it off because I don’t want my phone analyzing everything I do. I don’t need a spy in my pocket. Especially true for voice assistants.
I type better than the fucking autocorrect corrects anyways, so I’ll take typos that are easy to spot over “corrected” words that are grammatically wrong and harder to spot every time.
Sometimes people genuinely don’t know correct syntax. If you’re going to call that a shortcoming, you’re an ignorant walnut. Intellectual superiority is a shitty way to pretend to be better than someone else. It often incorrectly assumes everyone types the same language with the same proficiency which is a very provincial assumption.
This isn’t exactly a formal writing space. I post almost exclusively from my phone. I’m a terrible type on my phone, freely admitted, but I do what I can to correct things. Sometimes it just gets missed, though. I make an effort to edit, but at the end of the day, this is just going to a bunch of dummies on the Internet, not someone who matters to my life. I’ll put in exactly what I feel is the appropriate effort.
Gboard does it too. I’m fairly certain I use the possessive form of “its” more often than the contraction “it’s,” but the damn thing sees an s at the end of a word and is like “that’s GOTTA be a contraction!”
It’s even funnier if you’re arguing with them in another thread but are cordial in that one. There aren’t too many of us, we can’t afford to make enemies.
This is partially why I keep my profile pretty baren. No display name, picture, bio, etc.
Edit: I don’t usually do this but I’m too curious, why would someone downvote this? You want me to be more attention grabbing? Oh, never mind, they hit everyone.
That’s not just YT. A lot of services and apps (e.g. amazon or xitter) you’re logged into and share links from add parameters (stuff behind the questionmark) to the link that identify in the end who has shared it.
Try to shave off as much as possible from a shared link and test if it still works. To get a feel for what you can delete from the link, try to navigate to the destination (e.g. YT-video) inside a browser with which you’re not logged into that service and which has preferrably cleared its history, cache etc. Then compare the link from that browser with the one from the browser you’re logged in with.
Do people use the same accounts on different devices? This is my work laptop account, but I’ve got another for phone, and yet another for personal laptop
I used to split up my accounts across devices. This account name was supposed to be my mobile account name. Eventually, the other account names went away and this one stuck.
