I'm salty about android
you know what fucking sucks. remember when android was like the power user epic customizable phone os and ios didn't even have copy and paste. over the years ios has gained plenty of power user features like shortcuts and Android has gained fucking gemini and lost a dozen good but unprofitable third party software keyboards

"but codl we have shortcuts it's called tasker.apk or automate.apk" and it's fucking fiddly and there's tons of stuff you just can't do because it's a third party app so nothing integrates with it!!

at the next Google IO they're going to release AI shortcuts where you have to describe in text what you want done like "please open tusky, press compose and type 'why shrek is piss' then tap send" and the powerful AI chip in the pixel 12 (feature only available on the new pixel 12) will navigate through the app for you in 1x speed and you can't use your phone while it does this

I don't even know why I mentioned shortcuts because really the one feature that I'm jealous about is uh, abbreviations. Snippets. I don't know what it's called. The thing where you type a short keyword in any text field anywhere and it expands to whatever string you set it to
re: I'm salty about android
@codl is it a system feature on iOS? Everytime I use another keyboard on there it ends up being even worse than the stock one
re: I'm salty about android
@noiob I thought it was, idk
re: I'm salty about android
@codl iOS puts a lot of settings that aren't system settings in the system settings app
re: I'm salty about android
@noiob neat. it should be a system feature so I can use it with another keyboard
