Is it safe to uninstall android auto with adb?
(discuss.tchncs.de)
safe, it is
I don't appear to have any semblance of Android Auto on my phone, so I'd assume it's safe. But still take a backup, just in case.
if i can restore a deleted post, what does "delete" really do on lemmy and why isn't it called "hide" instead?
Deletion on many online services is "soft". Which is, exactly as you say, just hiding it and preventing it from contributing to various counts/statistics.
I imagine it's named like that because "hide" implies "hide from myself only" (like hiding a dialog box), whereas delete implies something more permanent.
Also, when a user wants to get rid of something the first word they'll look for tends to be "delete", so why make it harder for them to find that button by naming it something unconventional like "hide from all"? Even if it's technically more accurate, users just don't care.
I also imagine some services keep some things for legal reasons, even after "deletion".
Yes. Go ahead. It is safe. I have done it before.
Yes. I always disable it because I don't drive (typically).
Just curious. Why uninstall Android Auto?
some people want more storage space maybe? not OP, just guessing.
