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?

#i get why this is happening; it's way cheaper to buy an off-the-shelf touch kiosk or tablet and run your ui on a web server #rather than integrating with custom hardware and physical inputs #but that should not just removing accessibility features #and I know that digital devices can help a lot with accessibility: e.g. screen readers #but I wouldn't rely on any of those being installed on someone else's device

Well kids, wether you are getting back into the fandom now, or stayed here the rest of the time like us other weirdos, here is one of the gems I stumbled over while digging through loads of fan fictions to distract myself from the stress and the woe of the world. Not fine together by asleeb It is utterly fluffy and involves a lot of neck kisses. It is rated mature – for mild reasons, though (it's in the tags) – and goes for very soft ace/allo representation. At the same time is written in a way that makes it feel very emotionally grounded and in the moment. The banter is excellent and in my opinion feels very true to both of their characters.

So yeah, if that sounds like your cup of tea, give it a read. I definitely enjoyed lots of it. --------------------------------------------------------

[image description: The first image shows Martin and Jon standing next to a highland cow. Both are wearing outdoor jackets and scarfs. Jon a big red one and Martin a thinner blue one. Jon has brown, pockmarked skin, wears glasses and long, grey-streaked hair pulled into a loose bun at the back of his head. He gazes at the cows head, apprehensively touching is long fur on the top of its head. The cow has long, curved horns, and a short face with only its snout peaking out of the brown, shaggy fur. Martin stands next to Jon, almost a head taller, a very round face and nose. He has light skin, that is peppered lightly with an array of freckles and blond with an ashen shade to it. His expression when looking down at Jon is somewhere between very fond and highly amused. He says "There, now you like a cow."

The second image is an array of sketches and scenes. On the left side is a sketch of Martin's face, looking down, smiling. Underneath is a depiction of Jon looking worried and haggard. To the right in a panel of its own we see both of them standing next to a hight coffee table with both their big backpacks stuffed underneath. Martin is holding a small plastic cup, smiling, while Jon bickers next to him in the morning light. Underneath is a little sketch of them at a bus stop next to a random field somewhere in the highlands. Both are wearing their backpacks. Jon stands there hesitantly. "Seeing the ... 'sights'" he comments. Martin rambles excitedly towards the landscape around them and exclaims "The Sights!" In the lower left corner is another tiny sketch of Jon giving a surprised Martin a peck on the cheek. The third image is a drawing of both of them sitting on a blanket in the grass with a pasture with highland cattle, tress and the highlands in the background. We see them from behind. Martin is leaning into Jon, his left hand holding to the back of Jon's jacket. Jon has his right arm through around Martin and holds him tight, while Martin whispers "thank you for holding my hand."]

This is another one of my guys

Model: Lune_2106 designation: Callisto_392

Guy was produced when the sol and lune models started to get rather popular in the 80s- early 90s, first he was made to be a cashier at a 24hour convenience store chain but after they went bankrupt he and all other models of his type were sold. He has been working at a small run down kiosk in a bad part of town, the owner being an old guy who cant afford to pay for Callistos repairs. His right arm is mostly attached by tape and he always wears a hat to protect his wiring and processor unit after the covering lid for the back of his head broke.

He is a cynical gremlin with anger issues.

One of his problems is that his programming forbids him to show any negative emotion in front of a "potential customer", leading to him botteling everything up and breaking things in fits of rage when noone is there.

He also took to smoking as a kind of aroma therapy to calm down, using herbs like mint and lavender instead of tobacco, not actually being able to inhale but having some limitet olfactory sensors. Smoking breaks help him relax.

#fnaf moon #moondrop #again model based on moon atleast #dca #daycare attendant #dca au #my art #look i love this guy #just imaginig where robotics were way advanced since the 70s #hes really nice to kids tho #giving them extra candy when they come to the kiosk
