Anyone know where to turn this on? I might want this. My spelling is so bad I often have to do this anyway.
Google: mind if we put a keylogger on your browser for spellchecking?
You: don’t
Google: OK, we won’t use the keylogger data for spellchecking
People: “Can we please get some government regulation against all this spying?”
The government: “Best we can do is some tax cuts for Google.”
It’s so fucking annoying how I can’t turn grammar check off in google docs on my phone. I’m not sure how bad grammar check is if you write in English, but in Finnish it’s such a clusterfuck because it always tries to ‘correct’ compound words and doesn’t understand declension.
It’s tolerable if you’re writing something quite prescribed; business reports, perhaps. It’s too limited and obsessed with tedious bullshit if you’re writing prose, say. It wouldn’t do to express yourself.
I use a Windows PC for work with Chrome because we are on G suite and it’s just easier that way. I am constantly annoyed by how terrible the spellcheck is within chrome. It did not used to be this bad. It highlights “thier” as misspelled but only suggests thief theirs and shier. Yeah… ok google. Expect me to believe that when AI is in every thing. I can run a LLM on same the laptop OFFLINE. Word 93 knew to autocorrect to their with no internet and no ai. Of course you get frustrated, go to settings and see this stupid little toggle. Fucking Google already… it will only get worse. They’re already key-logging you they just want to pay out less on a future class action settlement. Like the one they just settled for tracking user data during incognito sessions. God damned Google. Oh sorry, I mean aLpHaBeT. You guys like letters now do ya Google? Well here are my faves. F and U !
Google- seeing as your response was in a mirror we decided to turn on this feature. Deactivation will require you to call the help desk.
brave better
Noooo! Still Chromium based.
Get Firefox (.com), for the future of the web :)
using chrome and expecting a little checkbox to stop them from tracking you.
theres no reason you shouldnt be using firefox if you are savvy enough to be on lemmy.
Is this some kind of Chrome meme that I’m too Firefox to understand?
Not super exciting story, but this just happened like 10mins ago. I was looking for Radon Mitigiation service near me and made a typo and spelled Radon as “Rason”, it autocorrected to “Ramen”.
