Pretty much. Give me a screen for Android Auto so I can interact with my preferred navigation and media apps, and then just let me control the car.
Like, if you want to add a menu for low-level tweaking of stuff I don't need(or shouldn't change) while driving, sure(like suspension settings). But for everything else, AC, seat warmers, forward/reverse, windshield wipers, headlights, etc, I want a button or knob.
So far all the Roku TVs I've tried will let you skip setting up Internet on them and then default to a dumbed down mode where the Homescreen is just TV inputs, and you can access the settings menu. Haven't had a chance to test a recent Android/Google TV.
Update: Seems Sony, TCL, and maybe some other Android/Google TV makers allow using the TV without linking a Google Account.

Update 2: Samsung seems to let you skip logging into their TVs during setup via a Skip button in the top-right corner, but it's unclear if you can skip connecting to the Internet at all.
Mostly. None of the browser extensions work on Windows, which is really annoying.
That tip of a handle bar that makes you wonder if that square counts or not.
Yep, had basically a throw away account for the occasional thing that basically required a Facebook account, and then I guess because I never posted anything they locked my account and demanded ID. Hell no.
I'm wondering the same thing for Valve and Gabe Newell.
MSF2020 runs offline too, it's even sold on discs in certain regions. You just don't get any of the satellite imagery or live weather. Obviously that means a degraded experience, but it still works.
At least, not this case. AI music is its own can of worms that hasn't been decided on in court or law yet.
But the main issue in this case is that he was scamming listens from the music services. So if he'd just let people naturally discover the AI songs somehow, and he earned money just like other Music publishers, then he would've been fine.
Mustard actually just did a video on the first attempts of this by the Soviets/Russians.

In the US at least it's still fairly common for the card to be taken by the employee of the Drive-Thru/Restaurant to be run through their POS.
There needs to be a ban on any judge presiding over something within at least one or two degrees of separation of relationships with said judge. Any direct relationships, either direct relatives or friends or direct investment, and possibly second degree relationships like a relative or friend being invested, or a relative/friend of a relative/friend.
Ah, I missed that since it's an unofficial flatpak so it wasn't listed on their site or forums.
Haven't tried it on Linux recently, but MakeMKV still supports Linux apparently. You have to build it yourself though.

I only accept Touch Screens for Media and Navigation. Everything else better be a button.
Not sure, I didn't make it. Just part of my collection.

Deep linking proxy for Mastodon and Lemmy on Android, allowing you to launch your selected client automatically. - GitHub - zacharee/MastodonRedirect: Deep linking proxy for Mastodon and Lemmy on A...
The one annoying thing about Lemmy over Reddit, is that you'll open a link from somewhere on the web and the Lemmy Instance's site loads instead of your preferred client app. Sync already supports around a hundred instances but there's way more out there than that. However, there is a solution! Fediverse Redirect acts as a middleman that keeps an up-to-date list of basically all Lemmy instances, and then redirects all of them to your client of choice, including Sync! Just install the Lemmy Redirect app via APK or their F-Droid repo, and then follow the directions in the app to setup the redirects and which client to point to. I used the Shizuku method personally, but there is a manual settings method and a LinkSheet middleman method as well. No root or Magisk is required for any of the methods.
They also have a Mastodon version that does the same thing, but for Mastodon instances and clients.

There were hints yesterday, but today it's official. Valve has started over hauling SteamVR, using the SteamDeck and Big Picture improvements as a basis. More to come.
This makes the likelihood of a new VR headset, possibly even stand-alone, more likely than ever.
Press Release:
> Greetings! Today we are shipping SteamVR 2.0 in beta. We see this is as the first major step toward our goal of bringing all of what’s new on the Steam platform into VR.
> Users who opt into this beta will notice a new UI with lots of added features:
> · Most of the current features of Steam and Steam Deck are now part of SteamVR
> · Updated keyboard with support for new languages, emojis, and themes
> · Integration of Steam Chat and Voice Chat

EDIT: Pictures:
I was digging through some stuff and stumbled on this. To think it's been 15 years. Crazy what you used to be able to get a free CD of back in the day.
Not your normal kind of piracy, I know, but thought some would be interested.
On a recent flight I was screwing around on my phone while connected to Southwest's WiFi. Southwest doesn't have traditional In-flight entertainment, instead offering movies and shows through a local LAN server on their WiFi for free. To get Internet access you load the site and pay $8usd using a CC, and then they'll unblock your device from the WAN.
Here's the fun part, for the LOLs I tried accessing my various VPNs and Proxies, including Google's, not expecting much. I've known of various tricks involving setting up a VPN or SSH on a DNS port or similar to try and get past web filters, but I've never been bothered enough to go through the trouble. But thinking of that, I decided to give Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS app a try, since while its kinda a VPN, it does some things differently since their goal isn't to give you a full VPN on their free plan, just improve your DNS and routing performance. But after waiting a long few seconds it amazingly said connected. At first I thought it was a fluke, thinking its connected but not actually working, but after doing a random Google search I realized it was actually somehow forwarding my packets to the WAN proper. I was FREE!
Though I should dampen expectations a bit. While it's definitely full net access, it's slower than molasses. Whatever route Cf is maneuvering packets through, it's not a fast one. Random access would be at best in the three digit Kbps range, with sustained sometimes spiking into the 1-2Mbps, and latency was measured in Seconds, not Milliseconds. Netflix refused to load the detail pages for movies and shows, and YouTube failed to load videos whether streamed or trying to download. I was able to get a 240p YT video to download with Youtube-DL/yt-dlp though.
And just to make sure it wasn't just the plane's connection that was slow, I checked with a seatmate that had paid the $8 for Internet access, and their experience was definitely faster than mine, loading videos with ease.
So while you can browse the net, read some articles, and chat on Mastodon and Lemmy, patience is a virtue. But it's way better than nothing, and great way to just check a few things in the air without dropping the $8.
YMMV with other airlines, but it's worth a shot.
Update: Just did another flight and this time didn't have success. The in-flight Wifi system on this flight was older though, with the old 2D flight tracker, and all the VOD content was broken too, so the Internet was probably just busted.
Every time I'm in Desktop Mode this pops up. It seems to be spawned by Steam Proton, though I'm not sure why since it happens even before I launch a game or software. Can't figure out what exact process is running it. Hitting install either fails checksum, or nothing happens after it finishes the download, and then it just pops up again. Any ideas?
