....aren't some of the options based on words you've previously typed? Gonna call shenanigans
-
@lkjhgf253 There's two retarded suggestions and one suggestions that's correct but isn't the word we're looking for. If you can shenanigan that color me impressed.
-
@hashedram I see that. But if you type a word enough they will appear in that suggestion list.
-
@hashedram what's more, the option on the left is generally the one you're currently typing. So yeah shenanigans
-
@lkjhgf253 I typed it wrong and it's supposed to suggest the right one. Which part of that was difficult to understand?
Why would I need suggestions if I were currently typing it right. You're trying too hard. -
Voxera116405y@hashedram the suggestions are not only for correction but to speed things up and its a combination of what you have used before and what others have used when it has to little input from you to go by.

@shoop Don't know, it would be kinda crazy to give everything you type on your phone to a mass surveillance company, right?
-
nibor48805yIt should be licences anyway.
(assuming proper English, not that abomination used across the pond) -
@shoop Alright, so if I make a keyboard app which sends all keystrokes to one of my own servers, you'd install it?
And Google officially doesn't steal the data since you agreed to their ToS...

So. Let me get this straight.
Google can design a mass surveillance system to give me ad suggestions based on sentences I whisper to someone across the room..
But they can't build a fucking keyboard that can spell the word "licenses"?
