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.

    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.

    I'd understand more if these communities were outright file sharing. I understand why that's a liability. But discussion of the topic should be permitted, which said communities are exactly that. !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com explicitally forbids file sharing in their rules.

    Let's be real though, the admins handling of this wasn't great. A more public discussion could have prevented backlash or allow these communities to address LW admin's concerns.

    This goes against the principles of the fediverse, I'd expect content censorship from the likes of reddit and twitter. This feels like a knee-jerk reaction to a problem that doesn't exist on communities from completely different instances (and judging by the backlash this decision came out of nowhere without consultng the community). I seriously urge you to reconsider this decision.
