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.

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.

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

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 They still don’t offer lossless musoc streaming and their lossy files use an outdated encoder.

Same here in the UK. Far too warm.

By the looks of it you haven’t ever done any thinking for anyone.

Possibly the most clueless comment I’ve ever read.

The iPad’s popularity is the reason no one else is really in the tablet market anymore. Every OEM was pushing out a tablet in every size about a month ago but failed to make any decent amount of sales to stay relevant.

The Android space is getting more varied again in recent years but I really wouldn’t recommend one to an average user over an iPad.

Of course there are. I’m still using Infinity.

If you use the official app that’s on you.

The problem for me is it’s an extra app to check and then, find the recommendations and then go back to my music app of choice and search for the recommendations. It needs a way of being implemented into current services.

They don’t need to federate to do that.

This is a bad take.

What competitors? I’d love an Apple Pay/Google Wallet alternative but nothing exists.

“Huh… All of this guy’s passwords are CTRL-SHIFT-INS.”

Wrong. They sell user data.
