Replacing physical buttons and controls with touchscreens also means removing accessibility features. Physical buttons can be textured or have Braille and can be located by touch and don't need to be pressed with a bare finger. Touchscreens usually require precise taps and hand-eye coordination for the same task.

Many point-of-sale machines now are essentially just a smartphone with a card reader attached and the interface. The control layout can change at a moment's notice and there are no physical boundaries between buttons. With a keypad-style machine, the buttons are always in the same place and can be located by touch, especially since the middle button has a raised ridge on it.

Buttons can also be located by touch without activating them, which enables a "locate then press" style of interaction which is not possible on touchscreens, where even light touches will register as presses and the buttons must be located visually rather than by touch.

When elevator or door controls are replaced by touch screens, will existing accessibility features be preserved, or will some people no longer be able to use those controls?

Who is allowed to control the physical world, and who is making that decision?

People universally seem to parse it as Mean but sometimes what you really, really need to hear is "this is not a socially appropriate thing to say, and you should not have said it"

#part of the work of relating well to others is to hear negative feedback take a deep breath and then thank the person for pointing it out #feels bad! but less bad than people just silently resenting behavior that you don't realize is inappropriate - @thatdiabolicalfeminist

it does always piss me off when a historical drama only costumes the characters meant to be unattractive or unsympathetic in historically accurate clothing, while the attractive/sympathetic ones are given essentially contemporary costumes with a slight historical flavor. the past is a foreign country and mainstream film treats it just like one

I love living in 2026 because I go to Home Depot and buy a 5-gallon bucket for $4. I say I do not want an email receipt. They know my email anyway because I once ordered a mop online. They email me to ask how I like my 5-gallon bucket. I do not reply. They email me again. They would like my feedback. Reminder ‼️I have purchases to review. Did my 5 gallon bucket live up to my expectations? 3 minute survey!!

the thing that pissed me off the most about the nodyssey was the ‘calypso helps odysseus remember the events of the odyssey because he forgor’ plot because like. well for one where are my awesome phaeacians. but for real: it is important to odysseus’ character that the narrative of his journey is in fact narrated by him to the phaeacians and he invents or emphasises events and themes that will convince them that he did nothing wrong and they should help him get home. it is deliberated storytelling. but you the reader do not have to take him at his word!!! that is liar mclyingface. so to reduce odysseus thee epic lying narrator to like. half remembered stream of conscious flashback no hint of artifice is. well it pissed me off. if you really wanted to reach you could say his ‘narrative’ deceives himself but i think that is being too generous to what is in the film. adjacent to this is the sinon plotline adapted from the aeneid which also pissed me off because i love sinon in the aeneid! because he is also a devious liar*! (*or i guess he very carefully says a lot of deceptive truths. fun). who on earth decides to make a film about an archetypal lying trickery guy and then is like. no we have to take the lying out. we have to put another liar in and then take that lying out too. and what if the guy known for his many tricks: felt bad about. the tricks. WHAT ARE WE DOING.
