A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

I turn off autocorrect on anything that offers it. Mostly my android phone, but also on LibreOffice or whatever.
I also turn off all auto-capitalize, auto-punctuation, etc. When coding, I also hate auto-indent. If I want something indented, I'll hit tab.
In short, when I put in text, I want my computing devices to get exactly what I explicitly input and nothing else.
I also took out the fuse that powers the Starlink connectivity in my Subaru because Subaru's privacy policy says they'll record any audio in the cabin they damned well please with no notice or consent (except insofar as existing in the cabin constitutes "consent" because their legal department says so) and send those recordings back to the mothership to use in any way they see fit.
Nice to know I'm not the only one that dislikes autocorrect on phones, and autocomplete / autoindent (and also auto close parentheses and quotes for me) when coding
same i really dislike autocorrect, it's annoying. also, i'm afraid of becoming reliant on it if i were to start using it.
