Yes, it’s me.

No, I can’t control the accent on a whim: It’s diet dependent.

When you see someone using an apostrophe to indicate a plural.

The apple keyboard sucks, no idea why it happened

bleistift2 ,

Because you didn’t proofread. Don’t blame technology for your shortcomings.

[No, I’m not an apple fanboy. I just hate the excuse “It happened on its own”]

MotoAsh ,

Seriously why I turn off autocorrect. 80% of the time, the autocorrection is worse than submitting a damn normal typo. It’s bad enough when it’s only trying to correct spelling. All the autopunctuation and junk is just pure suffering… I hate a one-character typo turning in to erasing a whole-ass wrong word with extra capitalization that’s not even supposed to be there just because I hit spacebar before noticing.

TheRedSpade ,

If you proofread before hitting send or submit then autocorrect learns from that.

MotoAsh ,

Not if I turn it off because I don’t want my phone analyzing everything I do. I don’t need a spy in my pocket. Especially true for voice assistants.

I type better than the fucking autocorrect corrects anyways, so I’ll take typos that are easy to spot over “corrected” words that are grammatically wrong and harder to spot every time.

Imgonnatrythis ,

He’s right. Always blame your parents.

thesmokingman ,

Sometimes people genuinely don’t know correct syntax. If you’re going to call that a shortcoming, you’re an ignorant walnut. Intellectual superiority is a shitty way to pretend to be better than someone else. It often incorrectly assumes everyone types the same language with the same proficiency which is a very provincial assumption.

bleistift2 ,

OP made it very clear in this very thread that they know the difference.

Ookami38 ,

This isn’t exactly a formal writing space. I post almost exclusively from my phone. I’m a terrible type on my phone, freely admitted, but I do what I can to correct things. Sometimes it just gets missed, though. I make an effort to edit, but at the end of the day, this is just going to a bunch of dummies on the Internet, not someone who matters to my life. I’ll put in exactly what I feel is the appropriate effort.

starman2112 ,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

Gboard does it too. I’m fairly certain I use the possessive form of “its” more often than the contraction “it’s,” but the damn thing sees an s at the end of a word and is like “that’s GOTTA be a contraction!”

Asudox ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

It happens to me often. There are some noticeable active members that comment or post on communities im subbed to.

There’s one guy specifically, whose comments are either deranged, stupid bullshit, or really good points and I hate him because of this.

I know who you mean. At first I’m like “time to block this fool” but then I look at their history and there are some gems among the shit. I’m so torn.

can ,

That’s why I just tag them with Sync instead of blocking. Humorously I actually have you tagged as “thinks they’re a car” and I have no idea why lol.

Hi, I’m trying to get Lemmy filled with content. I’m doing my part.gif

JohnDClay ,

It’s even funnier if you’re arguing with them in another thread but are cordial in that one. There aren’t too many of us, we can’t afford to make enemies.

dditty ,

Ha yeah that happened to me recently as well

checks profile just to be sure 🤨

skqweezy ,

I’m surprised that the guy that goes by with something like “Marxism fennekism” with the fennekin pokemon their profile picture isn’t here already too

Edit: like just now I saw him again, he’s like in 1/4 posts on my feed

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve only commented 562 times so far (this is my 563rd), so I don’t think anyone will recognize me just yet, unless you know the exact combination of letters in my username and the profile picture associated with it and make sure that absolutely nobody else uses it.

If there’s a second “Resol van Lemmy” out there, it’s still me, just from a Mastodon instance.

hedgehogging_the_bed ,

This is how I feel every time I see @The_Picard_Maneuver

Oh shit, Stamets is here too? That shouldn’t surprise me but I hadn’t noticed him yet.

Do people use the same accounts on different devices? This is my work laptop account, but I’ve got another for phone, and yet another for personal laptop

sour ,

am use same account

pomodoro_longbreak ,
@pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

Oh hey again, sour

sour ,
@sour@kbin.social avatar

hi

remotelove ,

I used to split up my accounts across devices. This account name was supposed to be my mobile account name. Eventually, the other account names went away and this one stuck.

nixcamic ,

Why would you do that?

pomodoro_longbreak ,
@pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

Ever so slightly less effort, and I’m trying not to get attached to a username, like I did in the reddit days

nixcamic ,

Huh, it seems like every so slightly more effort haha. Logging in is easier than making a new account.

bullshitter ,

People know me as the bullshitter. But I haven’t been bullshitting, even a little.

wunami ,
@wunami@lemmy.world avatar

I dunno… it sounds like bullshitter is bullshitting about his bullshit.

poke ,

It’s more obvious when it’s someone with emoji as their name (you know who you are :p )

LeroyJenkins ,

motherfuckin dude with the blue letters

Asafum ,

There are at least 2! One with a K and I’m forgetting the other lol

Rubanski ,

hungryphrog ,

Also when it’s someone who has a profile pic.

Hellstormy ,

Does also work without emojis

TheBat ,
@TheBat@lemmy.world avatar

No idea what you’re on about

can , (edited )

This is partially why I keep my profile pretty baren. No display name, picture, bio, etc.

Edit: I don’t usually do this but I’m too curious, why would someone downvote this? You want me to be more attention grabbing? Oh, never mind, they hit everyone.

Kecessa ,

But your username is the name of a great German psychedelic rock band of the late 60s, early 70s, everyone must recognize you!

can , (edited )

I love that you’ve made that connection.

For those out of the loop.

and and another great example

Kecessa , (edited )

I’m surprised you didn’t link to Halleluwah!

youtu.be/2dZbAFmnRVA

can ,

Here’s a video to make up for it.

Also, you should trim everything after the question mark in YouTube links. That’s how they track you.

imaqtpie ,

Huh, TIL about youtube URLs. It’s also nice to know the origin of your username, looks like a pretty cool band

Kecessa ,

The whole German psychedelic rock movement of the 70s is awesome 😘👌

Neu! is one of my favorite bands if you want to listen to another one!

boomzilla ,

That’s not just YT. A lot of services and apps (e.g. amazon or xitter) you’re logged into and share links from add parameters (stuff behind the questionmark) to the link that identify in the end who has shared it.

Try to shave off as much as possible from a shared link and test if it still works. To get a feel for what you can delete from the link, try to navigate to the destination (e.g. YT-video) inside a browser with which you’re not logged into that service and which has preferrably cleared its history, cache etc. Then compare the link from that browser with the one from the browser you’re logged in with.
