T9 gang represent!
We could send the whole fucking paragraphs from our pockets.
For real though. Modern kids don’t know jack about real texting until they can write a veritable essay blind without errors.
Swipe to text says jello.
Swipe does not allow you for blind typing. Well, you can try, but the amount of errors will be a lot larger.
Yeah I think that was why it says “jello” and not “hello”
This is on point lol. The amount of weird words I get that nobody ever even uses. I’m currently using Gboard which has gotten a lot worse since the feature was implemented. Actual Swype tanked in output quality dinner time ago (Example of odd results lol). Swiftkey never worked well with my thumb movement techniques. I miss when Swype was new.
I used to do that while riding my bicycle.
Props for mad skill
The first SMS message was sent in 1992.
They didn’t have blue bubbles back then so it doesn’t count /s
WhY aRe YoUr TeXtS GrEeN? Do YoU nOt HaVe An IpHoNe?
No. I don’t. I’m one of the many, many people who don’t have iPhones.
Yeap, I got my first GSM phone in the summer of 1993. Been texting ever since.
When it was $0.10 to send and receive messages
Sounds like a good time to me. Up your game my old dude :-).

Can we not with this? Whether or not this is a verifiable event is irrelevant to the entertainment value it possesses unless you are the type of person who has to witness every event in order to extract some value therein, in which case look away from the screen and touch some grass.
I’m confused. What is it that you’re complaining about?
Do you think this shouldn’t have been posted? Are there comments on this post that I can’t see?
I would bet real money that this exchange never happened
That’s the comment he’s replying to. It is possible you can’t see it
Do you know why this happens? I don’t see that comment you quoted, I only see the reply to it as a root level comment. I’ve been noticing this all over the place, where a top level comment is clearly replying to something I cannot see.
I would also like to know. I see this happen on every other post and can’t understand it.
Apparently lemmy 0.19 has some federation issues. I know .world hasn’t migrated yet, but maybe their instance has.
The user is posting from lemmy.world so maybe it’s an 0.18–>0.19 thing
I have noticed this same issue for a while now. Just checked my user block list and the true top level commenter, metallic_substance, is not on my list…i dont actually have that many users on my block list, so i didnt think that was ever the issue. But, not knowing WTF most of the comments are about is really annoying.
I haven’t blocked anyone yet so it’s definitely not that but it’s like every thread send to be missing comments without even telling me it’s missing comments so I have to deduce it from the missing context. It’s infuriating. It’s making this platform very irritating to use
Are you using a specific app? On iphone, I see this behavior on the Memmy app, but not on Voyager.
Did you block @metallic_substance@lemmy.world? That would do it.
It’s not funny at all. We could text in the 90’s. What supposed to be funny about it?
c/nothingeverhappens
The fact that this is not a link and there’s no standard way of making it a link is honestly a big problem for us
Don’t care. Funni.
👍
