The Great King Virtue Is Dead!

real answer? im way too stupid to figure out how the hell to use it. i spent 3 straight days trying to get it working a couple years ago with no luck.

bandcamp-dl is a blessing. i used to use zotify too back when it actually worked and it was a godsend!

That’s a fair point to be honest but it would mean more job openings for me, so… /j

i mean it’s not hard at all depending on your distro…

extremely insightful. will share with everyone i can

ungoogled chromium obviously

lmao i don’t think their political affiliation is strictly related to how much of a pussy they are in this context

tbh im in the same boat. i just keep on blockin them and make use of subscriptions

i literally only use my roku tv to open hdmi1 which has a fire stick on it (which i only use for jellyfin)

every day i lose my mind a little more at how much trust hundreds of thousands of companies across the world place in third parties like microsoft to handle literally all of their sensitive data, as if that could be a good idea in any universe

verifiable via personal experience

ngl i consistently have a better experience running games through wine than using their native versions. linux ports are often completely dysfunctional and it sucks ass

oh that’s really interesting. i should look into it; thanks

this is a phenomenal reason to disagree with me, i have no argument. if you use multiple vehicles on a regular basis through vehicle share or work, android auto sounds extremely useful. thanks for the reply

what baseless_discourse said. a windshield or dashboard mounted phone clamp. it is far cheaper, easier, and downright better, for myriad reasons. viewing angle is better, music playing is unspeakably easier, system resources are almost guaranteed to be better, software compatibility is better, etc.

I’m just fundamentally against those tablets in cars. I’ve never seen a single good implementation of it. This first question I always have is… what can this do that my phone cant do easier, faster, and better? And 100% of the time I’ve had to ask this it has been nothing. I just use a phone grip on either my dashboard or my windshield and that accomplishes the same thing without having to use the massive, clunky, and usually dysfunctional tablet stuck on my console. Another enormous complaint is that most cars that work like this also remove aux/tape/cd and then BURY the bluetooth audio option underneath a bunch of finnicky android auto shit that has so many different problems all of which wouldn’t exist in the first place if i could just set my phone in a clamp and plugged in the aux cable. The only benefit android consoles have i can tell it has is being big if you have bad eyesight.

how so?

im not going to lie this is one of the stupidest things ive ever seen a major tech company do

oh wow! i doubt im going to use that feature because android auto is insufferable but that’s still really neat!
