GDPR brought too much hate and it solved too little.


At some point in time I felt the need to make an anonymous Github account. It's quite annoying to know that people can google your name and see what you did in the last few years.


Realistically that should be the default for everything on the internet. Everything I do online is under a persona, I try to sign up for as little as possible under my own name, and email address. Subsequently the email addresses I use to sign up for most accounts have been pwned (on https://haveibeenpwned.com/), but my real email address is fine.


That is a frustrating truth.

At least you maintained separate email addresses so compromises are sort of firewalled.


I like those pictures. They only show the two hands that are holding the device. The third hand touching the screen is missing.


I believe u re supposed to use your nose


Emacs users are ready.


Or maybe if Intel wasn't a monopoly AMD could've solved the heat issues better and faster. It's hard to play fair and win when the other one is cheating.


What's so amoral about it?


Are you asking what's amoral about Uber?

Saying "amoral corporation" is almost redundant and isn't specific to Uber--almost all corporations are fairly amoral.


Cloudfare has 'NET' IIRC. Funny!


US ISPs make you think that internet traffic is like gold ;). I get tens of terabytes here in Europe for 10€.


> TM is a self claimed trademark, which means that you include it on your first use and you continue to claim it

This feels like kids playing something silly like "mom and dad".


That even today many European languages don't even have a basic dictionary. I'm not talking about the "guess the next word" feature. All I want is a dictionary that could suggest a correction to a misspelled word.

Use two languages at once? No way! I guess they need to invent a new chip or something.

Swipe to type? Hehe.

The keyboard in itself is fast and good but it lacks features.


The state of auto-suggest and auto-correct for anything but English (or maybe French, German, not a speaker so I don't know) is appalling. Auto-suggest is either not even an option or if it is it takes you to type almost the full word before suggesting something sensible. The auto-correct is way worse though. It sometimes suggests corrections to a wrongly spelled word even on basics like pronouns and such. But also let's not forget iOS/macOS don't even have all languages of the EU (when speaking of Europe) available as a system language. For the world's largest tech company it's beyond me why can't they put a team of 1-2 people per language to take care of properly localizing their software.


Those teams existed, but were disbanded and those people are now drawing up new emojis.


Typing in two languages works since iOS 11 (IIRC). I’m routinely typing in either English or Italian without ever manually switching language


But only two languages are supported, with no easy way to type in three or change the character set of the keyboard, which one can do with one swipe on SwiftKey Android.

One of the main reasons, in addition to lack of dual-SIM, I realised switching to iOS simply wasn't worth it for me.

Having a private number for my SO, closest friends and select high-retainer-fee clients to reach me 24/7 while also having an easily discoverable public phone number for business hours increased my response time when it matters while simultaneously tuning out the noise and anxiety of being constantly connected.


On iOS you can switch the keyboard with the small “globe” key between the “123” button and the dictation button on the lower left hand side of the keyboard, it’s one key press- assuming you added the keyboard in settings.


That's still too many steps - the trouble with bi/tri-lingual life is you often interject words (places, addresses, proper nouns) in the local language into sentences in any of the other two languages.

Constantly opening and closing settings dialogs gets on your nerves in the long run.


Adding a language to your phone (once) is too much work? Or is a “button” press to swap out the keyboard too much? I don’t understand.

I use English, Swedish accents and Russian with no issue. :s


When I was on android, I could type a message in one language, change who I was talking to, and start typing in another, and the autocomplete would immediately know I had changed language. iOS constantly corrects my first few words before realising. And sometimes the keyboard sets itself to a non-multilingual keyboard.


Does anyone know of a third party keyboard that can support 4 languages? My Android did 3 + Russian just fine but I can't find anything similar for iOS.


> Swipe to type? Hehe

That's finally coming in iOS 13


Wow, Apple is ahead of its competition again.


It was always obvious that this is one of the solutions to the climate change.
