dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I want actual buttons on more devices. Touchscreen shit is a liability and outright dangerous in some situations, but nooooo, Holy Steve Jobs must be emulated forevermore. disgost

Me trying to pull up the bus schedule on my phone, but my fingers are too cold to register on the screen.

Too cold, too damp... winter in my new location made phones really frustrating.

And for what? Why must it be like this, besides a paradoxical "innovation" laziness?

Because designing an interface is hard and it's easier to just not do it

i have a car with a touch screen for the radio and it is by far the worst most backwards thing i can imagine putting in a vehicle that can kill people.

ZYBERTRUKKK does that for pretty much everything but that silly le space age impractical yoke so-true

also the space-x capsule. no way i'd go up in a spacecraft where i can't "reroute the portside bus to the aft solar array!" or something like that.

not just physical buttons but i demand panels that can be easily removed and wires swapped around

imagine apollo 13 but with a single touchscreen and welded panels

NOOOO PRACTICALITY AND SURVIABILITY DOESN'T LOOK ENOUGH LIKE THE SCI FI TREATS! EVEN MORE IMPRACTICAL HOLO INTERFACES NOW pronouns

The thing I do like about some touchscreen cars is that they get more steering wheel buttons
