Someone once called my 22 minute hand sewn 18th century buttonhole tutorial video "Empty, clout driven content" so I think some people will just say anything.

Had a soul-searing moment where I sat unblinking trying to figure out what a "hand sewn 18th century butthole" could be for, until I read that again.

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?

Hey just so you know... if you're a legal adult you have the option to just not. You can take that shit off your phone, you don't have to pick up your phone every time they call, you don't have to tell them where you're going all the time, you can just not.

I know it's scary. I know they will threaten to cut off your phone plan or any financial support they're giving you or whatever to keep you under their control. But if you can at all manage it... do it. Set a boundary and MEAN it.

At nineteen, I allowed my mom to cut off my phone plan because she would SCREAM at me over the phone until I was sobbing because I didn't call her often enough (...turns out I have ADHD and time blindness but we didn't know that then). At a certain point I just turned to my partner and asked if we could survive without my mom paying for our phone plan, and we could, and I didn't speak to my mother again for 15 years or so. And my life is better for that.

Your parents don't control the apps on your phone if you're a grown adult, and I'm not saying this to shame anyone in this position, I'm trying to let you know this is abusive and you can get free of it even when feels like you're trapped.

Your parents don't control your phone or your life. They simply don't. You do.
