    I do agree with right to repair, but I tried to leave apple. And it was fucking miserable.

    3 different places to change settings. Some don’t have all the settings to change so you have to go to another. Fuck all that.

    And the auto correct adapts to your fuck ups, and changes them to your fuck ups? No thanks.

    I’m not a fan boy. I just want it to work or know where to fix it.

      Get a different keyboard, bro. Changing your default keyboard has been a thing on Android for like a decade and a half. Even so, most keyboards these days have a shortcut that’s basically ‘long press the wrong prediction -> don’t predict again’

      Also, the android settings menu has had a search function for a few years now. You don’t have to know where to look to find most things.

      Google Keyboard will do the same, adapt to your quirks of typing. I actually find that semi-useful sometimes as I occasionally write software, but yeah you should always carefully monitor your text before you post it.

          I actually did that a couple months ago. For whatever reason, GBoard is still acting up lately, like it takes 20 seconds or so before I can even type the first character sometimes.

      The analogy I have always used is that it’s like trying to cook in someone else’s kitchen and all of the things you need aren’t where you’d usually look.

        I have the same theory that I always mention to those who are hesitant to switch devices!

        I used to be annoyed about not having my Android devices work like iOS.

        Enjoying new tech was a lot better after I started viewing them as different devices instead of pure replacements.
