just how old is that screenshot?

Its funny, because that is my experience with carplay, but not my devices.

Car play fucks up. One of the reasons I don’t want it.

I just want a touchscreen cast. Is that too much to ask?

True, but then again I dont want to mess with any screen while I am driving. I line up a couple of podcasts or episodes and that is several hours right there. Or stream from my server, and just line up what i want. I can still skip fast forward change tracks, and I don’t see why, on a linux phone, I couldnt make the blue tooth inputs do more if I mapped them that way.

I noticed that googles is horrendously bad. The open source stuff is ok.

Yeah that would make me pretty damn angry. What about people who don’t have phones at all, what are they supposed to do?

No country should require the technology of 2 monopolies by law.

Once the Bluetooth is paired the one time, there is nothing to do though. Get in car, last thing I streamed is now streaming automatically.

I find car play awful. So I guess there us that. Half the time it does something stupid or the screen gets strange or a bunch of other problems like forcing my nav map when I want a different one.

What I want is true screen casting with touch feedback. That’s it.

Bluetooth works fine (or should work fine) with music, podcasts etc. I do it now with a phone, it’s a standard I don’t see why a mobile device running Linux would be any different.

As for maps, the voice goes over Bluetooth so I don’t see an issue there either.

Are they must haves? I don’t use tap to pay, pretty useless feature for me.

Cars? I don’t want or need android auto. Bluetooth is the only thing I care about.

Navigation on the device is good enough for me, it doesnt need to use the screen.

I have no interest in mobile banking, but that could be an issue if people are used to sending money to each other instantly via a bank app.

Where are you getting a half pound of tofu alone for under 3$?

Also, its personal preference but damn if siracha isn’t over and just tastes badic and boring. Surely there is a better sauce substitute here.

I can see your point. It is so ingrained in me to use a phone I forget that we didnt always do it that way. I shouldnt make the assumption everyone has a phone.

What’s hard about signal? It’s easy to use, my friends and family aren’t tech savvy and they were using it in minutes and it has stuck ever since.

How old is the Linux mint kernal and and driver? Have you tried a live dvd of a more current distro just to see if those problems aren’t solved? Fedora would be a decent example, it is really current. Or an arch derivative.

Was just trying an update again and so slow. .

Also lots of images aren’t loading on Lemmy, I was beginning to think something was wrong with my network until I read this and realized just a conincidence

I saw a study the other day that mentioned that Sweden during the pandemic had a median time of 30 days sick leave for those who had Covid.

In the US that would be rare if not impossible for a lot of people. I would think if someone could get a shot that would lessen symptoms or duration in a country that has such a poor health care safety net it might be worth while.

That is… Relative. I use it as a portable workstation. Buy I carry a tiny mouse and keyboard with me.

Convenient? Not really. Doable? Yes.

Well not a history book so much. Its funny how he doesn’t like footnotes “they would incur costs”

He is a entertaining storyteller, but that’s about it.

Calling Jared diamond a historian is just nonsense.

The minute I saw his name I rolled my eyes.

Move along nothing to see here.

Lipstick Pig. Because thats what I think of Ubuntu.

What is it like on a day to day basis? Do you see the presence every where you go? Are people talking about it?
