I think a lot of people in the US have their head so far up their ass being racist and doing other xenophobia, they'd rather drown in their own shit than than have "one of them" get something "for free".
That's what 60+ years of fascism-directed conservative politics distributed by the likes of Fox News, systematic defunding of public education, and an almost complete halt in wage increases so 90% of the population no longer has any discretionary income and is essentially forced to work paycheck to paycheck has given us. It's working exactly as intended.
Going to assume you meant "defunding of public education", heh.
Damn autocorrect, it was expanded saying now it can fix grammar and stuff beyond just spelling, but then it completely ignores that same stuff if it's close enough. Technically I guess that sentence still made sense, and it's not smart enough to discern context.
They CLAIMED AI fixes this. Of course it's a lie.
If anything autocorrect keeps getting worse. I'm pretty sure apple keeps deleting wrongthink words from the dictionary on their devices.
Every few years I go "ugh autocorrect is terrible, I'm turning it off!" And in the past I have eventually come back to it. Not anymore. Going without autocorrect is actually better than having it in 2025.
