One of the routes I take tries to get me to make an illegal crossing through a busy street to get to a bus shelter on the other side.
A short walk down the sidewalk, there’s lights with a crosswalk. And just on the other side there? A much safer to access bus shelter that the same bus stops at.
There’s seemingly no way to report this stupid route, either.
I don’t mind it, but I don’t really use it for any of its features. I use i3 over Unity, I think Snaps (and flatpaks, appimages, etc) are dumb as shit.l, and don’t even get me started on how garbage Nautilus is - drives me nuts trying to type a filename in to jump to it only to have Nautilus run a search instead… No idea who thought that was a good idea, but they need to fix that crap already.
I’d probably get by just fine with a full Debian setup tbh.
Some songs get completely yanked. You can list them, you can scrape them with the Spotify API. And you can see the available countries is empty.
“that’s a security risk”
My reasonse is always along the lines of “Yeah and? It’s a pocket-sized PC with PC-like specs being sold at PC-like prices. I’d like my workhorse to be functional. I can monitor my device as best I can, and vet the things I install.”
It really sucks how fucking stupid people have gotten. The complacency and supporting of companies stripping away access to things you’re selling out big money on? It’s like ownership pricing for a rental experience.
Then when nobody can repair the stuff but the OEM’s they’ll be shocked at the cost and blame the people who used to repair the items for not doing enough to push back or something stupid.
My earbuds were replaced before the end of my phone’s life. Also, my kids who just got phones for the first time now need to also shell out money for a wall wart and ear buds? Considering there seems to be $0.00 savings passed on to us from all the shit they’ve cut out, it’s a bit ridiculous.
What I dislike is the constant stripping of features lately - between OEMs stripping stuff like SD card support, and box contents like ear buds and wallwarts; and Google stripping core features like the ability to cat system logs… It’s getting fucking dumb.
That’s the thing that drives me fucking nuts. Use 10 seconds of a song in your 10 minute video, and they get all the money for your work. They should get whatever the percent of your video is that their song occupies at best. If you’re talking/acting over top of their music, then you’re splitting that percentage in half.
Doesn’t mean they couldn’t include an option for a user to pick a default, though.
I sometimes get “Bing Search” where the usual search should be. Drives me nuts - this is the kind of shit Google should be fixing. But instead they’re cutting off actually useful shit like logcat
I thought it was just sending basic info for the sake of troubleshooting and bug fixes? Was that not the case?
The version of t-ui (Linux Command Line Launcher) is way better on there than it is in Google Play
Yeah, now they’re doing some stupid shit with upvotes themselves. I have no idea, I’m still using Boost and old.reddit.com when I need to find something on there.
Wait, what happened to Audacity? 😬
Wait what? I was looking for it a while back. Damn!
How the fuck is that patentable?
That, but also the splash buff of Proton making a lot of games work for Linux outside of Steam Decks has probably helped too.
A delicious canned energy drink from the 90s.
Rats, still no TamperMonkey lol. Prob asking for a lot to expect that to ever happen, though.
All the shit I hate about windows packed into a Linux environment… I guess maybe it will help Windows users switch over?
