No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

At first I never used it, always thought typing with two fingers was the fastest (and actually got me the result I wanted).
Nowadays I swipe 99% of the time on my Android phone and it is a lot faster. Especially when your phone learns the words you like to use. It's not perfect of course and you will have to correct some words down the line (it still sometimes refuses to swipe "Fuck"), but overall I'm faster with it.
Also super comfy for long and complex words when you just roughly swipe it and get the full word written there without errors.
Overall though I prefer to touch type on a proper keyboard on the PC, that's still the fastest :)
The inability to get duck to move up the list is insane. I'm blows my ducking mind everytime autocorrect rears it's stupid ducking head like I'm a mother ducking child that can't curse via text.
I'm a 40 year old man for ducks sake. Let me use a ducking word.
Swiped on my stupid ducking Gboard.
Duck it. My keyboard don't want to use duck also!
Fyi. Used swipe also. Wow I'm getting the hang of this swipe thingie.
I tried it years ago on swift key. But because of android at that time being laggy as shirt. It wasn't always working.
You got profanity enabled? It's an option not on by default. Turn it on.... Or don't... See if I give a fuck. I might not... Because I'm running pretty low on fucks to give.. and I don't really want to run out else I'll be fucked. Google default keyboard with profanity enabled incase you have to fucking know.
I wasn't even fucking aware of the fuckin profanity switch. Thanks mother fucker.
No wucken furries ! Have a great fucking day!
Next time it autocorrects duck or ducking, try a long press on the word and you should get an option to no longer guess that word. Depending on the keyboard you're using you can typically long press on fuck or fucking and add it to the dictionary as well.
In an unsurprising twist, Gboard doesn't allow you to dictionary remove duck.
Bunch of gits.
