Of all things I didn’t expect, Fiona Apple was the original answer.

“So I’ve got this knife fight scheduled for tomorrow…”

Seriously, WTF?

I don’t know what I expected but that was mortifying.

Proof of shitty railing or super strength?

Dude’s built like Mr. Incredible at the beginning of The Incredibles so….

I’ve heard concern of it becoming a pandemic in deer populations and also scientists are worried it’ll spread to people!

Yaaaaaaaaay. 🫠

Old Spice.

Both the plain, beautiful blue Fresh variety.

Both feel clean and smell fresh.

I have very sensitive skin.

I will pitch an apoplectic fit if they ever discontinue it.

YOU HEAR ME, OLD SPICE!? NO ONE NEEDS WOLFSBANE OR WHATEVER OTHER SHIT YOU’RE PEDDLING.

I’m guessing “presumed human remains” means something close to “goo plus bones, we think”.

For those wondering, the other two are Minnesota & New York.

Yeah, this is precisely what I’ve been thinking.

I feel like they gathered data, studied it, and wrote a prescriptive autocorrect that IMO was perfectly fine and was still pretty good at catching words I was most likely to use.

Then, all of a sudden, it turned into fucking scrabble and I find myself going, “WTF are you thinking autocorrect?”

Not sure when the change started but it’s officially shitty now.

1000%.

I’ve noticed across platforms, posts, texts, etc.

My guess is that there’s been a slow infiltration of “AI powered” autocorrect across the industry.

Other than that, I don’t really have a good answer to the broad, sweeping degradation of autocorrect.

But you’re definitely not the only one.

Seventeen years is wild!

Tell me about it! It was hard nuking 17 years worth of content–effectively my online identity–but it was the right thing to do.

FWIW, from a Reddit old timer, Lemmy feels a LOT closer to those early days than whatever is calling itself Reddit these days.

I personally resigned from a subreddit I founded and moderated for 11 years. Had nearly 300k subscribers but enough is enough.

Reddit isn’t like it was when I started using it 17 years ago and it’s not going back.

Fuck Spez.
