I'll go ahead and say it. Predictive typing is as advanced as just throwing spaghetti at a wall and seeing what sticks.

The typo in "hour” is mine. The suggestion to complete the sentence with "horseshoe” is Microsoft Outlook’s.

Even worse, I have "Check spelling as you type” and “Check grammar as you type" both turned on.

RT appreciated because this is a major life quality issue: the lack of spell checkers for Samsung tablet.

I use a Samsung Galaxy S9+ Tab (I strongly recommend against ever getting a Samsung device, for many reasons. Happy to elaborate further). This specific one doesn't have inbuilt spellchecker, confirmed with the Samsung support who fluffed around for ages before admitting only some models have it, you can't know unless if you bought this specific tablet, then blamed me for not doing research.

Firefox has completely disabled all Android spellcheckers, both inbuilt and extension.

I think what's happening now, is we are being forced to use the online ones that comes with monthly subscription that also sells your work to LLM training models.

I'm not a native English speaker. I'm also dyslexic.

Anyone found any ways around this? While I'd like to never use Microsoft Office Suit, at this point it seems like Microsoft is the least evil out of all the major players.

Anyone found a way of bypassing this? (Do not ask me to google it, google has fallen as a search engine for at least five years now, it's all SEO based irrelevant spam regardless of what your search term is).

@feather1952 IMO peeps are having the entirely wrong reaction to this article. I mean, c'mon... tax, politics, wedges, Shit1 vs Shit2... all so very bland & meh.

Why has nobody else seemingly also spotted THE central salient issue with this article, that throws all else into a deep shade?

It’s only real item of note was a $420 increase in the $1,080 low-middle income tax offset (LMITO) that bizarrely went from $420 to $0 the moment you earned a dollar over $125,999.

It's. 😲 🤯😱

That's it. I'm totes over Mr Jericho, until & unless i receive a personally hand-crafted letter of acknowledgement & apology. Begone to The Naughty Corner, ol' mate Greggie.

What do Trump's steel and aluminium tariffs mean for Australia?
from Guardian Oz Media
by Guardian Australia

US president Donald Trump’s global tariffs on steel and aluminium imports have taken effect — and the Australian government’s intense lobbying for an exemption has not been successful. The Guardian's Ben Doherty explains how big of a deal these tariffs are for Australians.
Are Trump’s tariffs the beginning of a global trade war and should Australians be worried?

I disagree with @gruber here. I think the internet is more like the sky than the Earth. The Earth is a singular thing, but the sky is defined by all of the elements in it. In that sense the internet is more like the sky than the Earth and therefore does not justify a capital I.

Thoughts?
