Yeah, it's a shame that people can't be more civil and respectful to each other.

Then I guess you should avoid most Lemmy instances too. They're already very political, and it feels more like a left-wing echo chamber every day.
The exact same thing can be said for liberal communities. It becomes a hivemind where dissenting opinions are not allowed.
Take the Hunter Biden laptop story for instance. So many websites and communities outright banned it from being discussed or posted because they didn't like the optics of it. Facebook banned it, the top subs on reddit banned it.
Only very recently has CNN decided to treat it as news, after lying about it constantly on air for months saying it was fake. That's censorship of information. The left regularly spread misinformation like "the laptop story is a Russian hoax".
Both sides do this.
Openboard fork with swipe typing feels the closest to Gboard imho.
This is what annoys me, a lot of these replies act like there's a hidden agenda to everything. Saying things like, "They must support white supremacy! It's a racist dog whistle! They're a Trump supporter". Their assessments never have any nuance whatsoever: if you put that on your car, you're all of the above.
They have such a condescending attitude and a superiority complex towards anyone who disagrees with them. They just can't help but build this fictional stereotype about people they don't like to vilify them.
It's not wrong to like the American flag. While I'd never put it on my car, I know people who do, and they don't have a single mean bone in their body.
Trump is entirely irrelevant to this, and I'm confused why you feel the need to throw it in. This trend has been around long before 2016.
Maybe they just like the American flag. There doesn't always have to be a hidden meaning behind it.
When you use Google's precise location tracking, your location is found almost instantly, even if you're indoors.
If you're not using it, you need to be outdoors for it to triangulate your position. It takes about 3 or 4 seconds to calculate, but once it's found it works perfectly fine.
Maybe that was your issue?
Check the "All" page on the big Lemmy instances, it's undoubtedly very left-leaning. This whole thread is a testament to that.
