Typing on a phone is horrible. If I need to fill any kind of form, it's happening on a computer.

Also my computer doesn't auto"correct".

My phone also doesn't, because it can be turned off.

That's great, but there's a reason autocorrect is more prevalent on phones than on computers, that being that input it not as precise, and when precision for inputs is important (like in buying flight tickets), I just prefer the computer.

Not that I haven't bought tickets on the phone in my life. Just feels safer on computer

I thought that you meant that your computer doesn't have autocorrect as a good thing as opposed to the phone. That's certainly the first thing I turn off on my phone because it's shit.

Currently using scrcpy but beforebthat I got so pissed off with texting on my phone that I would have a text file synced to my phone with syncthing and farted about with copying & pasting it on my phone. Gnna have another go at getting gsconnect working in Gnome tho. Fuck phones though, for many reasons.
