  • You haven't answered the question. Who should enforce the law? I'm not sure if you have a problem with the concept of police or with the implementation thereof.

  • I bet you they'll start pulling their games from stores in 2-3 years or release new ones exclusively to their own. The games will be made as difficult to run in wine/proton as possible. Probably they'll introduce some new graphics layer that's windows only and since they own huge game publishers, they don't have to worry about any other platform ever.

  • It's not genocide, it's self-defense /s

  • Yeah, it needs more contributions

  • No wonder they are sending so many people to jail due to corruption. It's as if they are sabotaging Ukraine's war efforts. One could compare it to treason as I bet Russia wouldn't be able to destroy 1/3 of humanitarian aid - and I bet they're trying hard.

  • I wish people contributed to opensource alternatives like LibreLingo with more developers and course creators, it would be up to the community to maintain, not some private company that can dump a course whenever they like with no recourse for the users.

  • While I kinda sympathise, I won't be filing a complaint. I want Youtube to become so shit that even the average user will start looking for alternatives. I want ads plastered everywhere on that site and adblockers to fail miserably at blocking them. I want the average user to be so bothered by the ads that when they stumble upon an alternative they try and convince people to switch. I want content creators to be so bothered by it that they make videos promoting the use of another service.

    Make this a competition for alternatives. Don't make it easy for users to stay on Youtube.

  • Car batteries you can swap by hand in a few minutes without going to the shop, reverse charging (a car battery can power your home for a while), face scanning tech to ensure you aren't distracted by your phone, capacitive door handles, resistive car doors that limit how far you can open them if there's an obstacle in order no to scratch the doors, intercar communication, and that's what I picked up from watching a video for a few minutes.

    BYD added a few thousand patents since 2011 and that's just one of the car companies. They have played around with designs, materials, and much more. IINM they are also working on solid state batteries.

    And of course modernising the supply chains and making it possible even produce a car cheaply, quickly, and better quality than a Tesla. If that isn't innovation for you, then I don't know what is.

  • Oh, you're still paying for Netflix? Well... sucks to be you!

  • Lol, a car industry that hasn't innovated in years is suddenly threatened by innovation. Still, fuck cars. We should make them nigh obsolete with better public transport.

  • US government shoving millions up the asses of the their industries: capitalism

    China shoving millions into their industries: communism

    Yours faithfully, the brainwashed USAian

  • I've visited Portugal only once, so my experience is very limited with the country, but public transport wasn't very good even in Lisbon in my experience. Don't know if there are portugese cities with better public transport, but if that's the best Portugal has, then your opinion is certainly understandable.

    Not only that, Portugal sits close to the middle of the pack in population density, not far from France and their public transport is certainly only good in and around cities.

    It still is undeniable that cars are quite costly. It would save Portugal money to actually invest in better public transport, maybe even make it free. Free or affordable public transport increases the frequency of buses as the ridership increases.

    The biggest difficulty is changing the public perception of cars as a status symbol and the feeling of "freedom". The freedom one gets from free public transport is difficult to comprehend, I think. One can just hop on the bus, step out at a random place, rent a bike, explore, and hop onto the next bus with barely any planning except for getting back.
    In France, the number of visits people made to shops outside of the center actually increased.

    Anyway, I wish you good luck in Portugal.
