There is no bringing those responsible to court when it comes to China. If you try to go after companies in China they either disappear and make a new company or the government comes in and protects them.

Who would've guessed a company headed by a scumbag would do this.

Hope the owners get compensated.

Some anticheat works fine with Linux. I know whatever Hell Let Loose uses work fine with proton.

Why don't states in the US come up with their own health insurance program? So people can pay into it prolly less then what they pay now and the state put the money in a bank and use the interest for by GeneralDingus in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

One is Medi-Cal. The trouble ,from my uniformed opinion, is probably having to get funding through passing a proposition or law, establishing the personnel, making all the contracts with each provider and competition from private insurance companies.

Crazy how vancded offers what premium used to be, makes no sense to buy a subscription if the paid version is a worse experience

Simple EV cars (lemmy.cafe)

Does anyone think that there'll ever be a simple EV car produced for market without all the extra junk found in most electric cars? Why or why not?

I don't see the need for the infotainment dash, personal data tracking, self-driving, lack of physical buttons, and lack or reparability.

Wouldn't it be nice to have an EV that is probably cheaper without all that forced extra stuff? Can't we just have a simple EV that has an electric engine that is reliable, cheaper, and doesn't have a need for constant software updates? Maybe you can work on it in your garage for the most part for simple maintenance.

I'd really like to have an EV one day but seems like they are all super expensive, have no sense of ownership like typical cars, are constantly tracking you, and are trying to shove extra features down your throat.
