    Pffffft I have a new phone, the first smart phone I’ve ever owned without a keyboard. It is really taking the joy out of posting. : (

    I’m working on a solution but I’m low on resources right now and I can’t get all the materials I need to fix the issue.

      Oh okay I understand! I still make typos on touchscreens all the time after years using them. I just got used to double checking to correct them. Too young to have ever owned a physical keyboard phone but I totally see why people miss them

      I’d RETVRN to phones with buttons but they’re just about impossible to find affordably, which I know is on purpose.

          I hated him when iPods were doing those corporate-art silhouette commercials and that hatred burned brighter as time went on.

          The chin-rubbing turtlenecked “visionary” shit was a cognitohazard that inspired the Theranos grift and continues to influence aesthetics worldwide.

      you may already know, but if you hold down for a keypress it should highlight the key and you can drag to adjust

          instead of tapping at a touchscreen keyboard, press and hold and the key will pop up. if you drag it will move along the keyboard and you can release when the key you want is highlighted

            Oh, gotcha, swipe and gestures and stuff. I dislike that whole input system. It’s excruciatingly slow. On a good day I can hit 50-60 wpm on my old blackberry keyboard.
