It’s nearly unanimous: The political elite don’t like ranked-choice voting
  • kinkles kinkles 2d ago 100%

    In my state I just saw a commercial calling ranked choice voting “confusing” and that’s why I should be voting against it.

  • Airport introduces time limit on hugs

    I don’t see this as an issue. It’s a humorous take on an important rule at airport dropoffs- do your business and get moving so you aren’t taking up space in an area meant for high turnover.

  • You should be using an RSS reader.
  • kinkles kinkles 5d ago 100%

    When Reddit went to shit I turned to RSS to get my daily news. After trying many different iOS apps, all of which either sucked or had a monthly fee, I came across one called feeeed.

    It has become one of my favorite apps and I highly recommend it. It’s free and extremely well designed! I believe its creator also works on the Arc browser team.

    I’m very curious to know how many people in this thread disparaging the game have actually played it.

    It was my favorite too up until recently. It has been dethroned by Choceur brand from Aldi.

    They either changed how the notification works or made it minimal for models with the Dynamic Island. I just tested a simple shortcut to open an app and besides a little blip on the Island it was no different from opening the app normally.

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
  • kinkles kinkles 3w ago 100%

    I soft quit Reddit last year and deleted all my profile’s comments and posts. I only kept it around because I had heard Reddit was restoring deleted posts and I wanted to make sure mine were gone for good. After several months I stopped checking.

    This article made me finally pull the trigger and go in to delete my account. Surprise surprise, two pages of old comments had been restored.

  • Hacking Kia: Remotely Controlling Cars With Just a License Plate.

    Sure, that sucks. But I’m not saying there are zero downsides, I’m specifically countering the argument that there are “no good reasons” with my personal good reasons.

  • Hacking Kia: Remotely Controlling Cars With Just a License Plate.
  • kinkles kinkles 4w ago 85%

    Thats precisely what I’m referring to- these things being possible when you’re inside of a store, restaurant, or an extreme case like you parked at the airport for a trip.

    The fob won’t work if you’re deep inside a store, will it? Same for checking the mirrors.

    That’s a very subjective take. My friends and family that live in hot climates love the ability to remotely turn on and pre-cool their vehicles. I appreciate being able to check if I remembered to lock the doors.

    Apple Intelligence is now live in public beta. Here’s what it offers and how to enable it.
  • kinkles kinkles 1mo ago 100%

    People on Reddit are saying the battery life on 18.1 is hit or miss. For me, right after I upgraded I noticed that the icons for all my Control Center shortcuts are busted and the hearing accessibility button keeps reappearing even after I remove it.

    I regret trying the beta at this time.

    They have neither confirmed or denied it being a trans allegory. It depends on how you interpret the response Lilly Wachowski gave in an interview a few years ago:

    Continuing on The Matrix, you confirmed a couple years ago that it was a trans allegory —

    No, I didn’t.

    You didn’t? Tell me more.

    Yeah, so that came from an interview I did for Disclosure. They had a bunch of Matrix questions. And the question they asked me was about Switch, who was originally written as a trans character who was male in the real world and female in the matrix. And they took that response and attached the question that everyone now references that it’s a trans allegory. And so it was slightly out of context, but I don’t sit here and put a stink up about it, because it is a trans allegory in that it was written by two closeted trans women. And so all of the things that are in it are super-duper trans. The idea of transformation, even the whole “My name is Neo, Mr. Anderson —” that idea of claiming identity, it’s undeniable.

    A Twitter-like app where you are the only actual user and every other "user" is an AI bot.
  • kinkles kinkles 1mo ago 97%

    It’s a pretty neat idea, although currently the bots only reply to your posts. If you don’t say anything, nothing happens. It would be cool if the bots could converse with each other about random topics.
