I couldn’t find any information as to why, but playing around with other symbols suggests it only does it with symbols where they assume the space isn’t supposed to be there. E.G. Colon, ending parenthesis, equals sign, etc. Digging around in the settings I couldn’t find any option to disable this functionality.
Folks elsewhere suggested switching to the Swype keyboard, but I don’t have personal experience with it in a very long time so I don’t know anything about the settings and automatic behavior.
Programming languages are build around the standard keyboard. Keyboards had most of the symbols you’re thinking of from their typewriter days. You can see most of the special characters in these small typewriters from the mid 1900s.

With things like electric Wheel Writer typewriters, adding extra keys and symbols were less of a complexity issue and you started to see a few more extra symbols.

Recognize that there never has been a hard standard for layouts and symbols, just the industry copying and converging on systems that became popular.
Yes correct, sorry if that was confusing.
Being rich literally makes you delusional.

You vastly over estimate the willingness of people to learn how a computer works.
FYI I’m seeing the post as having 5 comments but I can only see 1, so I apologize if you made a comment and I don’t reply. I checked my language settings but everything is enabled including undermined.
Sorry, in my mind forgetting about race problems meant that everyone stopped being racist and shit. The economic inequalities associated with race wouldn’t disappear overnight, but they would eventually go away since social safety nets would obviously benefit the poorest people the most. But basically that flip comment was imagining a world where everyone really was colorblind.
Honestly, if we could stop this cultural race war for like two seconds we’d have a way better society. I just went healthcare end high speed rail.
Yeah, I’m aware of the Haber-Bosch process.
I’d honestly have to do the math, but I suspect we’d be able to get rid of synthetic fertilizers if we actually wanted to. Afterall, what do you think happens to the nitrogen after we eat it? We pee and poop it out, for the most part. Yes, there are losses to the air when you till the soil, but a proper farm that focuses on soil health has ways to deal with that problem.
Right now we use the system we have because it’s cheap and easy to do so on an individual level. Growers want to simplify their workflow; they don’t want to actually manage the health of the land they work. It’s too much effort.
Plus, there’s a bunch of government policy that encourages bad farming practices and discourages good ones. Corn subsidies, banning the use of treated sewage for fertilizer, blatant blind-eye enforcement of labor laws, price-dropping policy instead of price-stabilizing policy, etc.
It’s not that we would starve, not in a properly structured system, anyway. It’s that food would become more expensive and some of us would transition to careers in agriculture. The pay would become seductive when the farms become desperate for labor. A farm that actually takes care of the land and the animals is absolutely more labor-intensive, and that’s why very few modern farms do it.
Edit: I should also say that the plants and animals we have today are not the same as the ones we had when the Haber process was invented. We wouldn’t be going back to the yields of the early 1900s. Even if we did everything exactly the same as they did back then, we’d still get better returns and have a more robust food delivery system. Hell, they didn’t even have refrigeration back then.
We really do need to just straight-up ban pesticides, antibiotics, and synthetic fertilizers in agriculture.
If there was a way for legislate that all farms needed to be mixed use, I’d go for immediately.
That statement isn’t true, copyright doesn’t work that way.
However, someone was trying to claim they owned the copyright to that song and finally in 2015 someone refused to settle with them when they sued. They went through the full court battle and the courts decided that person did not own the copyright to that song.
I don’t remember enough of the details of their claim to explain their reasoning, but the claim was good enough (and court battles are expensive enough) that everyone would just settle.
Anyway, copyright doesn’t work that way, you can sing any damn song you want.
God damn people are generous.
I don’t use computers, so I’m not eligible, but I just want to say thanks for doing this! I’m sure people are going to love their new games!
While the strike is important, if we can get recognition that these subcontractors are just a way for corporations to dodge employment laws, that would be fucking HUGE.
I’ve been idly trying to come up with a framework that discourages this kind of behavior, and I haven’t come up with anything good. Got any ideas? Everything I come up with either wouldn’t work or would never get implemented.
You can switch back to 3 and 2 button navigation in the settings if you want. I use the 3 button navigation. I use all three buttons.
I think it’s their way of admitting gestures is stupid. Gestures makes it unclear where the OS UI ends and where the app UI begins. A completely shit idea.
That’s it! I’m getting shit-faced!
First rule of propaganda: the enemy is both terrifying and weak.
I mean, honestly? Yeah. People forget that their widespread support and cooperation is ultimately the source of other people’s power. Your boss might be able to fire you, but they can’t fire everybody.
They still got the frame completely wrong, unless there’s a different radio segment I didn’t hear. The one I heard was mostly from an expert I had never heard from before who made it seem like “the developers” were mad because they had to pay. They included a single throwaway line from Chris. (I think that’s the Apollo dev’s name.) No mention they the pricing was clearly intended to be unreasonable.
Ahh! Oh no! Who could have ever foreseen these consequences??
Hey here’s a thought: let’s get rid of all the laws requiring single-unit detached housing. That should open up some new housing in places people want to live.
