Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Yeah, I changed my auto correct on my first smart phone like 15 years ago now and have propagated my user dictionary and rules forward automatically with every new phone since. I've made more edits on every single phone along the way, too. But never had to change the same thing twice.

Any time it does something annoying, actually take the 3 seconds to fix it....

It’s also incredibly ironic how they state

It's somewhere in the middle with good usefulness and utility like any other tool as long as it's used properly. Like any other tool.

Then complain about “dumb autocorrect”. Like any other tool, when wielded incorrectly, it’s not gonna work lol.
