Google: mind if we put a keylogger on your browser for spellchecking?
You: don’t
Google: OK, we won’t use the keylogger data for spellchecking
People: “Can we please get some government regulation against all this spying?”
The government: “Best we can do is some tax cuts for Google.”
Is this some kind of Chrome meme that I’m too Firefox to understand?
This is my guess. But I wouldn’t know.
Imagine using anything Chromium-based and supporting a wannabe monopoly.
Exactly.
It’s so fucking annoying how I can’t turn grammar check off in google docs on my phone. I’m not sure how bad grammar check is if you write in English, but in Finnish it’s such a clusterfuck because it always tries to ‘correct’ compound words and doesn’t understand declension.
It’s tolerable if you’re writing something quite prescribed; business reports, perhaps. It’s too limited and obsessed with tedious bullshit if you’re writing prose, say. It wouldn’t do to express yourself.

except they use it, and they’re on lemmy. Zealotry doesn’t lead to anything good

I use a Windows PC for work with Chrome because we are on G suite and it’s just easier that way. I am constantly annoyed by how terrible the spellcheck is within chrome. It did not used to be this bad. It highlights “thier” as misspelled but only suggests thief theirs and shier. Yeah… ok google. Expect me to believe that when AI is in every thing. I can run a LLM on same the laptop OFFLINE. Word 93 knew to autocorrect to their with no internet and no ai. Of course you get frustrated, go to settings and see this stupid little toggle. Fucking Google already… it will only get worse. They’re already key-logging you they just want to pay out less on a future class action settlement. Like the one they just settled for tracking user data during incognito sessions. God damned Google. Oh sorry, I mean aLpHaBeT. You guys like letters now do ya Google? Well here are my faves. F and U !
I’ve always wondered how that works. Are their databases just too large and it fucks up returns or is there someone smart out there purposely returning bad searches constantly to ruin their spell check. Is their dev inept? Lol.
Gboard was my go to for ages but finding a different keyboard on mobile has not been fun for off brand phones.
you use chrome. They already got you.
Jokes on
youhumanity, hitting ‘no’ is just another data point that they can use to compare you to millions of other people and use the aggregate data to predict what you’re probably going to do anyway.Google- seeing as your response was in a mirror we decided to turn on this feature. Deactivation will require you to call the help desk.
Not super exciting story, but this just happened like 10mins ago. I was looking for Radon Mitigiation service near me and made a typo and spelled Radon as “Rason”, it autocorrected to “Ramen”.
Anyone know where to turn this on? I might want this. My spelling is so bad I often have to do this anyway.
brave better
