Honestly just left it. Debating on putting carpet in the room where it’s pretty bad. But decided if I couldn’t do it well myself I’d just wait until I was ready to fork over money to have it done correctly.

Two monitors and a lot more RGB, also the cheapest desk Amazon/IKEA had.

you get more cheese for the same money.

Everyone says this, but everywhere I’ve gone shredded cheese costs exactly the same per ounce.

Although I prefer bricks since they last longer and I live alone. Shredded cheese goes bad it feels like immediately after you open it.

makes it appear negative that they don’t see what’s going on with their money. I I interpreted that as them being ignorant of what happens with their money

To be clear, the meme is that PayPal shows the users’ dead names (presumably because the account was set up prior to their transition/legal reasons)

The “I do not see it” is referencing “not seeing” the dead names in the transaction details.

I mean Western bongs can be pretty intricate. See: The Glong

Well that’s assuming it’s completely solid and not hollow. Hollow would probably be pretty huge, although the structural rigidity might not be great. Maybe we make a giant obsidian 3D printer and print it at like 10-15% infill.

Now do mayonnaise

Oil in your pasta water does literally nothing, just skip it.

Michigan already stole the northern half of your state and you didn’t go to war, what’s a little more?

Ani.social user chiming in, lovely little instance. No drama and the local page is just cute art and episode discussions (admittedly most of the episode discussions are empty though).

Android auto runs on your phone. Android automotive runs in your car.

Yes, but Android Auto does need some work on the car OS side to operate, i.e. within Android Automotive in this example (although Blackberry QNX is probably more common these days, automakers are moving away from it)

I mean, I don’t like my car updating but I’d rather things get fixed than not. Software recalls are a huge headache in the auto industry, and being able to just download an update that fixes something is way easier than going to a dealership and having them use very specific tools and software to update the car/modules.

It’s also used for anti-theft features for a lot of newer cars, if your car is stolen it can be remotely disabled entirely. That’s really what’s more scary in my opinion.

Not entirely unrelated, Android Auto is basically a projection app for Android Automotive.

Yeah, pretty much all new cars have some amount of cellular connectivity. Usually you can’t actually use it without paying some subscription, but the manufacturers use it to push updates.

It was a bug in that version of the distro IIRC, trying to install Steam would instead try to install the SteamOS desktop environment (or something along those lines). It has since been fixed to actually install the Steam client.

Obviously it was a bit silly he typed “Yes, do as I say” after seeing the message, but he was also literally following exactly what all the online guides said to do (other than the “Yes do as I say” part). Luckily it’s fixed now but I do think it was a really good demonstration of what the video wanted to see: “What might the average non-techie gamer face using Linux?”

Almost always this is a player issue as mentioned. I’ve had similar issues with some files where audio just doesn’t work on one player but works fine for another. Same with subtitles. Set to an external player like VLC and see if that fixes it. (For what it’s worth, I mostly access Jellyfin from my Chromecast and I have it set to prompt me for a player each time I start watching something, one of them always works but for my files it isn’t consistent which)

Not surprised but got a source on those password claims?

Wow that is fucking awful in it’s entirety. Jesus fucking Christ, seems like just burnout and overwork are not the only issues present there. Goes a lot deeper than that with micromanagement and a “boys club” attitude, gross.

Also thank you for the link, I was so confused where to the rest of the post was.

I feel like it’s 100% a “they don’t care,” the vast majority of social media users couldn’t give less of a shit who runs the service, just what the service does for them.

The average person didn’t quit Facebook because it was a gross invasion of privacy and FB was caught doing plenty of suspect shit - Facebook declined because it wasn’t “cool” anymore and that’s it. People on Lemmy are more likely to care about who’s behind the service, but the average user certainly isn’t going to care much or at all.

And no way can GM beat Apple or Android at a car interface.

Poor marketing from GM, Google, and most automakers. A lot of the interfaces are still gonna be Android-based, they’re dropping Android Auto not Android Automotive. Android Automotive being the actual OS that most car infotainment displays come with these days, and is made by Google. Android Auto is just the ability to connect your phone and project it to the display.

Still a shit move, but GM has nowhere near the capability to actually build a good infotainment OS from the ground up.
