Book clubs. When I was driving a night taxi, the latest customers on workdays were book club people.

Music clubs too possibly, especially jazz.

Maybe it doesn't work for French? Or just the gui option isn't exposed for French, idk... Try switching Android language to English, see what happens.

Are you sure you have the fork with gesture typing support? They're both called OpenBoard with no external distinction.

It doesn't have suggestions tho, so swipe is kinda useless if you don't get the right word.

And the rebooted version has been in alpha development for so long, it's essentially dead.

Lemmy: I don't know, but I wouldn't trust any bike helmet that I can't compile myself from source. It's best to just stay home behind (real) firewalls so the Big Bike doesn't target you for your striped Linux socks.

Unspecified Europe here. Some people say hi at waiting rooms, I don't, since at that space especially I want to be left alone and not in any way encourage conversation from randos.

Other places, it depends but generally also no, unless I'm greeted. I guess I feel that the personnel has no obligation to acknowledge me unless I actually want something. In which case I do say hi for sure.

Not only does it not have swipe typing, it doesn't have suggestions either.

There's only swipe delete and cursor movement.

I have a feeling all of your sorts are just reading of a script. Some C-grade armchair psychologist has made some half-assed observation 20 years ago and now the likes of you have nothing else to argue with when someone calls out your insecurities.

Anyway, you're no fun, bye

Yea, by being actually good.

(To be clear, I'm joking. Kinda.)

Waterproofing isn't some alchemy. In terms of modern phones it's just using more glue.

80-20, but don't be too strict about it either.

65-35 doesn't make sense. Yes the battery is at its most stable around 50%, but then you charge it too often and that's not great either, because it goes through heat cycles rather than charge cycles.

Also batteries degrade by themselves anyway, so it really depends on the quality of the battery itself how long it will last. Inconveniencing yourself too much won't give it much extra life.

Just never discharge fully, don't charge fully with exceptions, and charge slowly and you're good.

Not just with itself, also with other elements. Say, you won't find pure iron in the wild either, because normally it reacts with oxygen so well.

But yea oxygen needs to pair with something because its outer electron shell is incomplete. So pairing with another oxygen atom is likely, but also with whatever else is available - nitrogen, iron, whatever.

Most elements are found in molecules really, with the exception of noble gasses like Helium. And some are less reactive than others.

Female as a noun sounds more formal, distant and depersonalizing than woman. Language is all about nuance.

Well, we're talking about some random anonymous person on the internet. I think not being personal is quite valid, especially since nowadays you never know how they identify.

In fact, I do find it odd how first people were being offended by others assuming their identity, so some circles just began to use more general and broad terms, and now that's offensive too.

I tend to refer to singular people on the internet as "person", and I have been corrected by them or.others, i.e. "I'm a woman!" Like, geez, I don't care or need to know, to me you're just a bunch of words, you may be a chatbot for what I know.

Haha now that you put it like that, you make them seem even worse. Indeed, people who are so sensitive that they can't stand anything, are also aggravating enough that other people don't want to be around them.

I still don't see how one is offensive and one isn't, when they describe the exact same thing.

It's as if programmers (noun) were offended when someome says they program (verb) or vice versa.

Yea I see how you may not want to be reduced to just a word describing some quality of yours, but come on, going to war over it is really stupid.

Insular and Shelter. Apparent Shelter is more secure but I don't know enough to tell myself. https://secure-system.gitlab.io/Insular/faq.html

My mother is like that (and her mother was), at least from what you describe.

The result is, she constant interrupts my speech with guesses what I'm about to say. It's incredibly aggravating especially because I have a speech impediment exactly because of their constant interruptions when I was a kid. And somewhat funnily, she always guesses wrong. Never right. Every time.

And the interrogative tone is there too, tho that's harder to describe.

So I can't talk to people like that, and may get hostile very quickly if I see such behaviour. Tho I've not met many people that do it.

If your brain works that way, at least try to not talk like that. I used to have similar patterns just due to having them learned, and had to unlearn.

/edit cause I'm cold and my brain doesn't work either and this stupid keyboard keeps bugging out, fuck this

Think why people say that.

It may be a) you really do act like that, or b) you talk to people who don't like to discuss or learn things.

It can be both. Maybe you talk to the wrong people, but still come off as preachy.

So if someone tells you that, ask what they mean.

TIL all doctors, military, police etc. are incels.

Are you ok with calling men "males"?

People forget that there are also girls, teenagers and possibly other variants you may want to specify (plus all the male ones etc.).

By using female/male you cover those bases.

Besides, have you never seen internet posts like in AITA or such using F/M?

Never mind all the professional language (e.g. "military age male").

Just, come on. Getting insulted over bullshit.
