Chronic Inflammation of the hands (and the rest of my body) upon use bro.

Tiz the only reason I moved away from my beloved Linux...

Android came to my rescue and got me online again.

Stop using the mobile for posting on SN.
The mobile is only for: bitcoin LN payments, and answer your mother's calls. That's all.

Ever found yourself deleting a sentence on SN and seeing a massive paragraph go down the pan because you held your mobile's backspace button too long?

Well, I think I've found a neat way to stop the backspace from munching your work in it's tracks - and it's simple.

 of the text box - the ongoing deletion seems to stop immediately!

I discovered this hack by accident whilst deleting part of a sentence at the end of a paragraph. As I thought the deletion had finished, I had clicked higher up as I'd wanted to add a sentence near the top - 

but instead watched a higher paragraph get deleted as well

Well, my inquisitive mind saw this and thought that if the deletion carries on when the cursor is moved, maybe it'll stop when I click outside the box.

 it wasn't around and had got fixed by the Android/Apple/SN elves... but, in the meantime, here's a hack that you can use if you experience a post eating crisis.

It's happened to me loads of times...

When you see it happening, just click **outside** of the text box - the ongoing deletion seems to stop immediately!

Yup, it's a bit of a hack. I'd *rather* it wasn't around and had got fixed by the Android/Apple/SN elves... but, in the meantime, here's a hack that you can use if you experience a post eating crisis.
