Microsoft Teams coming to Android Auto in February 2024 in c/android@lemdro.id

Ah yes that sounds like an incredibly safe idea.

GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused version of Android, is adding Android Auto support in c/technology@lemmy.world

Privacy isn't a binary choice. Obviously I would love for there to be an alternative to Google Pay but no such service exists.

The most private form of payment is to use cash but that's just hugely inconvenient in 2024. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to pay from my phone when I don't have my wallet on me but custom ROMs don't allow it.

Can we just ban them entirely? Horrible cars.

I'd have rather seen Google Pay support than Android Auto though I imagine it's a lot less feasible.

Steam has now officially stopped supporting Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1. in c/technology@lemmy.world

What can I say? I had a laptop with Vista pre-installed and it was fine.

Vista was fine. I never had any issues.

8 and 8.1 is a shame. Best versions if Windows we've ever had.

I'm returning my Lenovo laptop that gave me tons of compatibility issues and getting this Dell XPS 13 instead. Thoughts? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Out of curiosity, why not go for something that supports Linux out of the box? Why stock to mainstream?

Spotify doesn't make profit from music streaming, despite having over 400M monthly active users, because it pays two-thirds of all its revenue to the rights holders. in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] Carter@feddit.uk 1 points 8 months ago

The most popular musoc streaming service. Definitely not the best. They still don't offer lossless musoc streaming and their lossy files use an outdated encoder.

Flatpack, appimage, snaps.. in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] Carter@feddit.uk 1 points 8 months ago

Flatpaks are a lot easier than appimages though I still default to my distros native packages if available.

Does anyone actually buy the higher tiers of fuel at the gas pump? If so, why? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] Carter@feddit.uk 3 points 8 months ago

I buy it for classics.

What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] Carter@feddit.uk 3 points 8 months ago

PopOS and Manjaro are two I never liked.

Sahder caching takes hours? (feddit.uk)

Hi guys.

I've finally returned to Linux gaming after a year hiatus back on Windows but currently have been unable to play anything due to Steam's shader caching. Trying to launch a game means I have to sit and leave my PC on for hours (I gave up after 2) just whilst the progress bar slowly goes up. I made sure background caching was on in the settings and even added a config file to enable more threads as I saw suggested online but after leaving Steam open overnight I'm still unable to play any games.

This wasn't an issue when I was dailying Linux a year ago so I'm assuming something in Proton must've changed?

Is it odd that I can't hold a grudge? (feddit.uk)

I legitimately find it difficult to long term stay annoyed with people who have wronged me. I have close friends and family telling me how ridiculous it is I'm still in touch and friendly with people I used to consider friends but briefly cut them out after they treated me horribly. I can see the logic and feel as though I SHOULD hate certain people for how they've been in the past but I just don't feel any anger or resentment and am quite happy to just forget the past. Is this weird and/or unhealthy?

Separate server or all in one PC? (feddit.uk)

My current setup at home is two aging systems, one gaming PC that I usually put to sleep when not using and one 24hr server hidden away in a cupboard. Both are in need of an upgrade fairly shortly and I'm just wondering if a single system would be a viable option?

I'm not hosting THAT many services really. Most are just media related that would be unused when sat at the PC gaming as it's just me that uses any of it. A strong enough CPU should be able to handle everything anything though shouldn't it?

It seems like a good idea to me but I'm no expert. Is there anything obvious I'm missing?
