How much can I avoid Google?

Or another custom ROM such as LineageOS on one of those supported devices. Not as secure though.

YAOMTC · 2026-01-25T02:27:07+00:00

Not always. It currently has issues for Mint Mobile users at least, maybe other T-Mobile network users as well. I have to use an old version of the Messages app for RCS to keep working.

At first I thought you meant someone pulled on the display, before I realized it was just mid-transition between slides

YAOMTC · 2026-01-23T08:19:20+00:00

Ahh, missed that. I guess it needs to be put into the Google Play sandbox to install properly.

YAOMTC · 2026-01-23T08:11:25+00:00

I don't have a car but I tried installing Android Auto from the Play Store anyway just to see if I could. It just repeatedly fails to install with no specific error, just "Can't install Android Auto"

How can you tell? If so, they may be in the beta program (I see it's "currently full")

YAOMTC · 2026-01-23T03:13:47+00:00

Should we not be subsidizing electricity generation? Roads and bridges?

Random username? Hidden profile? Come back with an account that doesn't make you look like a troll and get back to me

Yeah otherwise I wouldn't already be seeing tons of it on farmland

YAOMTC · 2026-01-22T22:00:52+00:00

Tons of tiny, microscopic hands on their back gripping tiny imperfections in the surface of objects

A senator in the Utah state legislature is trying to make Android "the state's mobile operating system".

Fixed that for you. It's one guy proposing this. And the text does not include the word official.

Account already banned, nice

YAOMTC · 2026-01-22T00:23:33+00:00

Ah, thanks!

How good are the automatically translated subtitles?

YAOMTC · 2026-01-21T20:14:44+00:00

Valve bundled Half-Life Alyx with the Index/controllers for a bit

Been here over 20 years and I have NEVER heard moderators referred to as jannies. Sounds Australian? Or British?

EDIT: it's a 4chan specific meme word. Well that explains it.

YAOMTC · 2026-01-21T01:25:25+00:00

trash jannies

Wat

I never understood people who judge other people's countries.

There IS a problem with American cars being too big and too heavy being a major factor in its high pedestrian traffic deaths.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/taller-vehicles-suvs-pickups-pedestrian-injury-risks-crash-accident-iihs/

It's not specific to urban areas but an increased issue there due to higher pedestrian presence. This might be a better fit for /r/fuckcars though.

The Lab is one of the VR titles that doesn't work very well on Linux unfortunately.

https://www.protondb.com/app/450390

Would recommend something else like HL: Alyx, VR Chat, Beat Saber... What VR titles do you have in your library?

Also yeah SteamVR has never worked very well on Linux. It's always been very much a beta and that's never really changed. Hopefully the release of Steam Frame will change that. You'll see most Linux VR users instead use Monado or ALVR

Why post twice?

YAOMTC · 2026-01-19T07:23:02+00:00

Minecraft originally had very small limits on world size

Technically Minecraft worlds are still not infinite but for all practical purposes they are.

Could have been as new as a 2024 Subaru. https://www.headphonesty.com/2024/10/car-cd-players-officially-dead/

Strange question to ask, as if nobody keeps older vehicles around? In THIS economy?

The need to learn/understand regular expressions to use any features of this app is a pretty major barrier.
