I use SwiftKey and remove its Internet access.

Swipe typing is not great. I come back to it every few months to try it again and always end up frustrated. It’s good if you are a tap typer, though.

I’m not sure if you are an ignorant apologist or outright racist but it feels important to comment on this given the number of uovotes this post is receiving. From an article from Slate I will link below:

"But, as historian Marcus Rediker writes, the “ancient and widely accepted institution” of enslavement in Africa was exacerbated by the European presence. Yes, European slave traders entered “preexisting circuits of exchange” when they arrived in the 16th century. But European demand changed the shape of this market, strengthening enslavers and ensuring that more and more people would be carried away. “[European] slave-ship captains wanted to deal with ruling groups and strong leaders, people who could command labor resources and deliver the ‘goods,’ ” Rediker writes, and European money and technology further empowered those who were already dominant, encouraging them to enslave greater numbers. Both the social structures and infrastructure that enabled African systems of enslavement were strengthened by the transatlantic slave trade.

Bottom line: Why should this matter? This is a classic “two wrongs make a right” ethical proposition. Even if Africans (or Arabs, or Jews) colluded in the slave trade, should white Americans be entitled to do whatever they pleased with the people who were unlucky enough to fall victim?"

This has been going on for years, including inside the EU, for those wondering. You can test to see if it happens for you by going to a flight website, getting a price for a flight, then go back a few times to search for the same flight.

The question of what you do to fight it is by clearing the cookie for the website, using a different browser and/or changing your location/block tracking (use a VPN or tor). Usually clearing the cookie is enough.

If you mean Australia, I just checked shipping with reMarkable and it’s free.

If I had the choice I would have gotten a Supernote A5X because they are a more ethical company, conscious of sustainability (their pen nib does not need replacing) and they provide a road map for updates so you know what’s coming. I’m not able to get one, however, because I live in the UK and shipping and taxes end up nearly doubling the cost.

That said, from what I read, the best writing experience is with the reMarkable, though as others have said, the subscription service is a frustrating addition. They give you a year free when you buy new. This was my best option and I’ll be getting one soon.

I also looked at Boox which has color options and a back light but the writing experience isn’t as good because there is a gap in the screen where the back light is meaning its more like writing on a white board than paper.

I’m on Raddle because I’m an anarchist and I honestly like it more than kbin/Lemmy. I like the discussion that goes on there that doesn’t happen here so much. I worry this is becoming more and more like Reddit after seeing some toxic posts, too. I don’t care that Raddle isn’t federated, I like that it’s unashamedly an anarchist and queer space which wouldn’t happen if it was federated - there’s a whole terf magazine on kbin, though it is very small right now.

Edit: I deleted my original post thinking I had accidently responded to another post but now I think I’m just getting confused by the green bar on the left side of my post on kbin, I guess to indicate its my post. Never noticed that before.

I can definitely imagine that it happened/s on Reddit, yes. The thing that feels the saddest about doing that is that it really means nothing in no meaningful sense. Its such a impotent form of rage where they aren’t debating or even telling you you’re wrong, they are marginally impacting others’ ability to see the post.

Something I do really like about this site is the ability to see the activity of posts including the reduces (down votes). So the guy that reduced the post above appears to be far right, judging by their activity. Fun!

This is exactly what I thought. The story here is that the human race has a massive child abuse material problem.
