    i miss handwriting input; both english and chinese writing. yes keyboard is faster but time spent writing isn’t that wasted for me, and my posture is better when i used a drawing tablet exclusively instead of mouse and keyboard, also i’ve bullied windows handwriting recognition enough that it’s pretty much chicken scratch input.

        not to the point of fast sloppy cursive so bad i can’t read it myself, and that’s what i get with windows after using it for years. linux apps just didn’t match up and i keep getting cranky it’s better to just stop.

      Where I live now, the kiddos can’t even write the language properly without some sort of keypad or keyboard.

        Yesterday I decided to write some notes for language learning by hand, I realized I did not remember the last time I wrote anything by hand

          Not really, just because something is old doesn’t mean its bad. We dont want to lose handwriting as a society when all of our devices are dumb terminals linked to bezosnet and youre not allowed to type anything bad about Dear Leader.

            We can stand to lose cursive, as long as it’s readable, then any style of handwriting works

      eh, i’ve broken my hand enough it hurts to handwrite. chopsticks are fine, but if i have to write more than a page i will type instead.
