DuckDuckGo as a default with Google as fallback depending on what I’m looking for. For lemmy the default search of my instance works well enough so haven’t tried external engines.
But if you do see a normal keyboard and can type each letter isn’t that the same as what autocorrect is doing now? If I type “spmrthjng” my keyboard already autocorrects to “something”. If you only see the keyboard after it’s guessed wrong then that would just be autocorrect with more steps.
Usually not and I always found it weird. In the rare occasion a smartphone appears in a dream it’s always impossible to use, like nothing works correctly. I actually had a dream today where I was lost and Google Maps was giving some very bad instructions.
Strangely enough I don’t think I’ve ever dreamt of a computer even though most of my day is spent in front of one.
I don’t know what happens with dogs (there aren’t that many strays) but most street cats were never pets, they’ve always been free. There is an effort to reduce them that’s definitely failing.
It’s not a weird animal but cats. Stray cats are literally everywhere and aren’t afraid of people so many will stop to pet them. And on the other hand, when visiting other countries, the lack of street cats does strike me a bit weird.
I am a touch typist and laptop keyboards are fine. I haven’t tried keyboards with weird curvatures but most desktop keyboards are too wide if you don’t have big hands.
I can see the first point about repairability but it’s not really something you can’t do without and is the price to pay for mobility (which is something that could be considered essential). If you use a laptop with full peripherals, it can act as a desktop when there is no space but you can’t do the opposite :p
