#FotoVorschlag: Dinge, die die Welt nicht braucht // Things the world doesn't need Personen in Machtpositionen, die ihre Stellung nutzen, um sich ohne Rücksicht persönlich zu bereichern, und dabei auf andere Menschen und die Natur scheißen. // People in positions of power who abuse them to enrich themselves, with no regard for lives, people or nature. #Ljubljana #graffiti #sticker #stickerArt #streetArt

@cstross@wandering.shop @j2bryson@mastodon.social @newtontalk@bitbang.social I respectfully disagree. I could write up to 20-30 words per minute on my #Palm. I even started writing that way on paper. I'm a total klutz with on screen keyboards. Barely get ten words a minute and usually have to go back to correct something--errors often caused by auto-correct. Aside: I have a perennial problem with auto-correct word confusion. Big ones are "think" vs "thing" and "text" vs "test". The #Graffiti strokes are designed to disambiguate input so I had no mistakes of that kind back in the day. Much better to write what I mean rather than allow the device to guess. #StrokeInput for #iOS is a nice attempt to bring #Graffiti into our tiny keyboard worlds. It doesn't feel as "natural" as it did on the Palm (or my hands and eyes got older 😉 ). Unfortunately I don't have a functioning Palm device for comparison... but a stylus-based short hand makes much more sense than an on-screen keyboard to me. PS: "...only instead of a limited alphabet they recognize an entire dictionary full of words" StrokeInput appears to be hooked up to the iOS word-completion engine. So in that sense it has been modernized.

@cstross@wandering.shop @j2bryson@mastodon.social @newtontalk@bitbang.social Unfortunately... most of my problem comes from large fingers on tiny screens. 🙁 Perhaps some tuning would help. But I took to the #Palm and developed fluent stylus-based text input within days. I've been using #iOS devices for more than ten years with little progress beyond typing with thumbs and going back to make corrections. I realized that many of you who are reading this might not even know what the #Palm user interface looked like. So here are some photos. Note the #Graffiti cheat sheet--all basic A-Z and 0-9 gestures were single strokes, with the exception of 'X'. Graffiti was (and remains) a robust idea. 👍
