Yeah, my 2017 KIA has a touch screen for controlling navigation, radio, android auto etc. but climate control is controlled with buttons and dials like you described. It’s modern enough to the point it feels safer than an older vehicle might, but I don’t think I want a vehicle more modern than this.

It’s not that it’s too difficult, but having it this way is more inconvenient to the customer leaving them less inclined to make the call. Scummy behaviour all around.

I don’t mind having a UI for things like navigation or android auto. What gets me is why do things like climate control need to be buried in a UI? If my windscreen starts to steam up mid-jourmey, the last thing I need is to take my attention off the road to change the climate settings in the UI where dials and buttons will do the job much faster without needing to take my attention off the road.

Honestly I find constantly having to keep on top of disabling questionable windows features and bloat (knowing I’ve definitely missed something) more difficult and exhausting than just using linux. Linux feels way more “easy and simple” to me than windows ever has been.

Even though I take issue with the BBC, I hope they choose to stay on mastadon in the long term. A large organisation like the BBC on a federated platform is sure to spread word and hopefully convince more people to join the fediverse and see it a a feasible alternative to the current big tech landscape.

Psh, don’t even need that, just use a package manager

I’ve played around with a few browsers, and while Firefox is a better alternative to chrome, I’d more recommend a privacy hardened fork of firefox such as LibreWolf or GNU IceCat. I’ve also used mullvad browser which is kinda neat.

Some people are too comfortable using chrome for it’s extension library however, so if a mozilla-based browser doesn’t fulfill the extensions requirement, Brave browser is a good choice. I haven’t tried de-googled chromium, but I imagine it’s food for the reasons it says on the tin.
