I feel like I got my car at the perfect time:

It has Android Auto and CarPlay, and it’s a manual so there’s no way for it to turn on or off remotely.

Now I just have to make sure it survives until I die.

I totally forgot about this app because, well, it seemed pretty forgettable.

I’m also not in the target demo since I currently have my wallpaper set to whatever my phone wants to rotate in and out every hour from my Photos app.

I’m trying this app out now based on your comment, and so far it seems really nice. I may replace Voyager with it as well.

I had a bit of a breakthrough with some personal growth with my code today.

I learned a bit more about entity framework that my company is using for a project, and was able to create a database table, query it, add/delete/update, normal CRUD stuff.

I normally work mostly on front end code, so it was rewarding to learn a new skill and see the data all the way from the database to the UI and back - all my code. I felt great after doing a code review this afternoon to make sure I wasn’t missing anything, and we talked about some refactoring to make it better.

AI will never give you that.

You have to log in to your old Affinity account, and from there you can find the download links.

This is a good point. I’m going to download all the installers they have today and ferret them away just in case.

At least V2 still works and won’t just disappear. You can still use those apps you bought.

But it’s just sad to see this new path. I used to buy all the apps just because I liked the business model. I don’t really ever use Publisher, but I bought it anyway.

Now…there’s nothing that’ll get me to use this “free” shit.

Just like every Android phone that comes pre-loaded with trash apps you have to delete.

This isn’t my experience, and I had a iPhone 12 Pro up until a couple of weeks ago. Google Maps generally ran alright that I can remember.

On the newest phones it’s really smooth, but those phones also have enough horsepower to make pretty much any app run smoothly.

Honestly, I use it all the time now since I plug in my phone to my car and it’s right there.

It’s fine. Sometimes I use Google Maps. It’s also fine.

I actually like Apple’s approach to describing when to turn. It’ll say stuff like “go past this light and turn at the next” instead of vague shit like “in 1000 feet turn right.” Bitch, I don’t have a tape measure.

I think people who grip about Apple Maps as it is today probably just haven’t used it and want to gripe for griping sake.

This justification is always funny.

“Oh, your all powerful god needs the help of Brian the middle manager to get its work done for them?”

Yeah, I have had several people automatically assume I use Windows, and I don’t as my daily machine. I couldn’t give two flips about MS, really.

I don’t even dislike Linux. But a lot of these users here, man, just woof. A lot of these folks will point fingers and say Mac people are all Mac zombies and that’s bad, but then turn around and kiss that grainy photo of Linus Torvalds where he’s standing in front of an old, shitty computer.

I don’t use Windows.

Nope.

The fediverse is definitely a “I use Linux, please clap” kinda crowd.

So is everyone downvoting because the video is bad or because they are a Linux nerd upset someone posted something that’s not Linux (as they downvote while using an Android or Apple phone)?

I’m curious about where and how your cousin gets their information.

If it’s from Facebook and Fox News, I could see them not seeing ICE news, but it’d be hard to miss from any other source.

Oh I know, I’ve seen a lot of “Billionaires are evil, but not MY billionaire. DAE buy 50 games during the steam sale you’ll never play LOL?”

Gabe and his 300 yachts thanks you.
