It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
Touch screens should be legally mandated to lock out when the vehicle is in motion for all vehicles driven on public roads, full stop. Anything you need to do while moving should be accessible via controls on the steering wheel or physical buttons and knobs on the dash/shifter that are easily located with a quick glance at most.

I would actually would prefer to have to control all of the controls through Bixby actually
Like, "Bixby, slam on the brakes" and so on
"Bixby, accelerate to 100 km/h and execute a bootlegger turn."
I don’t want them in cars at all tbh, both cars I’m driving and ones I’m not. I want physical knobs and buttons that I can move without looking
The only thing touchscreens in cars are good for is options menus you aren't allowed to use while driving.
My car has a bunch of settings that you wouldn't be able to use without adding some kind of input device like a scroll wheel or touchscreen(or I suppose you could add 20 separate buttons).
Options like configuring how long the headlights stay on after you shut off the car, or configuring how the auto lock function works, changing the equalizer settings, etc. Touchscreen really is the best for this kind of stuff because it's what people are used to using.
You’re right, that stuff’s fine, although lots of those settings do exist in pre-touchscreen cars, and it’s just something like “press these buttons at the same time until you hear a click”
