beat me to the phrasing. yeah it's pretty much fact

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!

I have yet to find something that tops Dsub despite how unfinished even Dsub is

I use eternity; I havent found something that it struggles with yet. Can anyone here let me know why use decided against eternity? I dont really know its limitations since I've only used it.

GoG or itch only, launch with lutris. I just don't want to risk putting up with this.

kaiju no. 16

fair enough! if it works, it works, i guess. the proxy disable doesn't seem to work for me either, by the way, i just checked! i guess it's probably a known issue.

i was so caught up with the bait that i genuinely fell for this. you got me my friend

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 cohost but 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.

at least now we can just subscribe with RSS to get updates and actually have the links be usable

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.

that's reasonable i guess, though im only really interested in YouTube frontends for the privacy benefits which piped helps greatly with. why not use something like revanced, or why not turn off the piped proxy in libretube?

oh LOL that's a pretty great reason!
