New cars are such fucking garbage.

People who don’t do any of those actions are not active users. Lurkers are not active by definition.

They shouldn’t be included in the active user count, because they’re not contributing any activity.

Is it possible to create a custom build system by compiling little bits at a time?

For example, you find the opengl code (or whatever gfx lib they’re using), strip it down it only displays a window and doesn’t reference any other gta code. Then it could be compiled without much trouble. Then another small system, say matrix transforms, can be isolated from the original code and integrated with the custom code to get it to compile.

This way you are creating your own build system ad hoc, and you find out what it needs as subsystems are added. Provided the code is decently decoupled and modular, it should be theoretically possible, even if it is still an absurd amount of work.

Or does this sound completely wacky to you?

It’s just … Does seeing the same information in a slightly different arrangement really mean that much to you? Especially when that information is probably 80% memes

It’s funny because a principle actually is a dollar figure when talking about finances.

You actually want a layout that includes ads?

How much entertainment do you need while driving? Can’t you just plug your phone in for some music?

Do you really need a maps app built into your car when you already have one on your phone?

I just can’t see a reasonable use for an infotainment system that isn’t already taken care of perfectly by the device I already have.

The car experience

The car experience is driving.

We don’t need 6 different fuel efficiency visualizations and we sure as fuck don’t need games or videos in the car.
