  1. #GoogleDocs added a new "feature": the text cursor now keeps blinking even while you move it by keyboard (e.g. arrow keys). That means, half of the time you cannot see where you currently are. Grrr.

  6. I need to get off Google Docs. It's where I've been doing my writing for years. As of this week, it's got AI nonsense all over the damned place. No, I don't want AI to even out my writing. How do I disable this shit?

    How do I get all my writing to an AI-free program without ripping out my hair?

    I want to be able to access my documents across different devices. How can I do this?

    I am not a programmer.

  10. I wish #ellipsus had an app. I have talked with so many writers who are Desparate to find replacement for Google Docs with zero AI bullshit that also works as a phone app on Android phones, but there are none.

    People want easy ways to move their books to safety from Google, and need the opportunity to write on the go.

    Could someone make that happen?

  13. @wobweger Der Otto Normalverbraucher kann u.U. nichts mit Begriffen wie #BigTech oder gemeinschaftlicher online Zusammenarbeit ( #Kollaboration / #collaboration ) anfangen. #GoogleDocs oder #Microsoft365 sind ihm eher ein Begriff. :mastoshrug:
