  • My favorite thing to hate on Android auto is: if you get a call or text while using google maps for directions, the notification blocks your view of your directions. I drive with the voice dictation off, i hate driving with ‘turn left, turn right, turn left…’ Announcing every 2 minutes while I’m in the car so I glance at the screen before I need to make turns. In this case, if someone messages or calls you before an exit number or turn on google maps, you will miss it, I’ve passed many highway exits because of this.

    All 3 of these things are Google’s own products, how the fuck couldn’t they have thought this through? It also gives the impression, they do literally no real world testing.







  • I was given an old Chromebook tablet by a friend that wanted to get rid of it, and it just happened to have mainline Linux support. I was able to get postmarketOS running on it, and got gnome shell mobile as the DE. It works, and works well. The apps that support the touch interface and are made to be responsive, etc work really well, and the waydroid integegration works fantastically well. I was able to get android version of jellyfin working, with vlc, and a few other apps I use daily. All this in 4GB of ram, I’m really impressed! This screenshot was running gnome shell I think, I’ve since switch to the ‘mobile’ variant of it, and running system monitor with android vlc and android jellyfin running, zoomed out so you could see all the apps running at once.

    Its time for a Linux phone, I put in an order for the 2nd batch of this phone, hopefully they start shipping soon, they supposedly already shipped the first batch to users.
