Heyyy Cosmy
they were pretty niceeee… anyway -
I use Snippety on iOS/macOS but “Text Replacements” is built in to both, in Settings - FREE auto expansion of, say a short keyword like…
could expand to
Someone will have an Android/PC recommendation, maybe something from F-Droid.
PS: would DEF say no to suggestion of two links in every post - one link in every post is already surprisingly noisy on mobile, but I’m sure that’ll be granularly toggleable one day
Being called a dick more than once (especially when I don't think I am), is not what I would consider being "pretty nice". ...
The issue is I'm getting brigaded on an every 48ish hour basis, and it always starts with an 'innocent' inquiry comment, and then turns into attacks, and then with large downvotes. Not sure how much of that ANYONE should have to put up with that, and still have to be 100% polite in response to that.
In the future, I'll give them the link to that large post that discusses the issue.
I really wasn't being a dick, not at all (and I'm a polite person in real life by personality). Please consider that maybe others are being intellectually dishonest on purpose, reading more into what I've been saying, to apply an attitude to it, so to be able to criticize more harshly. Persons with an agenda (a really "WTF is wrong with people?" weird one, but still).
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have like nine other comments from the brigade to read/respond to.
