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.

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

GoG or itch only, launch with lutris. I just don’t want to risk putting up with this.
- Comment on Nextcloud Performance Improvements 11 months ago:
im not sure / cannot recall. it’s been a few months since i last tried to install it and it kept erroring out. im definitely strongly considering looking back into it though, it’s just that reverse proxying to the container was a nightmare… it still haunts my config, lol
- Comment on Nextcloud Performance Improvements 11 months ago:
that is… surprising. not that i don’t believe you, snap just doesn’t have a good track record, lol. ill have to research if it’s feasible to run a snap package on a debian server, though.

i was offered one but im not really interested in making an account unless i can do it on a different instance. i do not trust the official one a single bit, lol
- Comment on Bluesky posts are finally open to the public 11 months ago:
its kind of crazy to me how many people are moving over to that place. on one hand i appreciate that it’s somewhat containing twitter culture
protecting much better new socials like cohostbut on the other, it is frustrating to have no access to so many people who switched to blue sky’s with its bizarre and abrubt popularity as an alternative platform despite being diet fediverse. - Comment on Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times 11 months ago:
Invidious. It got so bad that I just gave up and switched to piped which has been… well, not perfect, but definitely far more consistent.
- Comment on We Aren’t Posting on Social Media as Much Anymore. Will We Ever? 11 months ago:
These general users are shifting to Discord. The people I actually WANT to interact with are moving to indie social platforms (i.e cohost, fediverse, spacehey) and revitalizing forums. I strongly recommend against seeing this as a systemic issue against social networks/media; it’s an issue with VC funded ones that prioritize growth above a better platform and community. For the health of the internet, please do not flee to walled garden discord servers.

ive tried to get nextcloud working several times and it just seems to never work for some reason… maybe i should set it up on a pi ive got laying around instead of my main server lol

seconded. the built-in custom css selection is excellent. ive been strongly considering self-hosting an RSS bridge, but i think my server has too much unpredictable downtime for it
