Just FYI, it's "apropos" :)
Awesome, thanks for the correction. At least I've proved my personal humanness. :)
That's what a robot would say...

#92Google Pinyin Input was recently discontinued.
They want you to use Gboard instead, but the functionality is worse. I don't get it.
Google Pinyin Input made it very easy to enter punctuation, by doing a minor downward swipe on the virtual key associated with the symbol you want. (You can also swipe up on keys to quickly produce capital letters.) On Gboard, as far as I can tell, you have to do a long press instead, which is a gigantic pain.
I resorted to pulling the apk off my old phone and manually installing it on my new phone, but this feels ridiculous.
Can anyone recommend (a) a pinyin input method that doesn't force you to long press for punctuation, or (b) a setting I've overlooked in any major input method that removes the insane long press requirement?

Other than multiple hour downtimes, you mean? That's not quickly for one of the most-visited websites in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_visited_websites Also, it seems Ukraine war topics are down-ranked so people don't see as much about it anymore
Reddit is also on that list and has downtimes like that much more frequently than Twitter.
Yes, but Twitter used to be much more solid prior to you know, losing a lot of its work-force. Reddit, on the other hand, has improved since a few years ago

Alternative theory - When the iOS application was discontinued and they had removed it from the app store in October, they redirected their support site to just the android version FAQ's and have forgotten to switch it back. Thus iOS support is just at: https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/categories/200371942-i... As a further note, Microsoft support is centralised at support.microsoft.com and it appears that they…
Do either of those links point to a way to give feedback or otherwise actually discuss the addition of Bing-related features?
Doesn't look like it.

A per pro of nothing, I believe strongly that all online identities created towards the end of 2022 should be subject to a 'human verification test'. Just in case. Not sure how it would work, but just suggesting it might be useful/valuable.
Why end of 2022? It's kind of an ongoing problem. And one that Musk has very much failed to deal with; someone I follow has a different crypto-spam bot reply to every single post they make!

The same shit happens when driving. Our internal understanding of our own bodies seems to adapt to take the tools we're using into account. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_schema https://scholar.google.co.nz/scholar?q=related:5uSissKo6EgJ:...
> The same shit happens when driving. In a broader sense, it never fails to amaze me that a kilo and a half of goopy cells that evolved to work out where the plants that won't kill you and where to trap rabbits in the next valley are - things that are, generally speaking, not much further than you can see - can visualise every step and turn of a journey of hundreds of miles, while being shoved through space at roughl…
One can tell the British background by the mix of metric ('kilo') and imperial ('mile').
Mentioning that as the way we adapt with different units, feeling natural about them, and getting defensive about them, too.

#98Damn, the auto update got to me before I read this. Is there a way to rollback the update that bingifies swiftkey on Android?
Re: Microsoft deleted the public support forums for SwiftKey
#99Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly does swiftkey offer over the usual keyboard? A quick google seems to bring up "better predictive text" and "better multi-language support" - is that it?
They had swiping first

The features that kept me on swift key is that is multilanguage, Google keyboard you have to switch to the correct language beforehand. I'm pretty worried that SwiftKey is now doing big nonos like sending my data around, but Google keyboard is absolutely unfit for my usage.
Google Keyboard is multilanguage too, if you mean having multiple languages active at the same time and the swiping/hints responding to both. I'm currently typing this comment using it.
Up to two languages, not quite enough
