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

5 Essential Tips for Hiring the Best Caterer for Your Event
Finding the best caterers for your wedding is one of the biggest decisions you will make about your special day. Choose the best Asian wedding caterers in London, Bharat Gangaram, who provide quality Asian wedding services at a range of different venues in London and beyond.
Here are 5 essential tips no bride and groom should do without when planning their big day and choosing their catering service
Hiring Asian Wedding Caterers
Experience Only choose wedding caterers who are experienced in event management services. They should have expertise at running a wedding reception with your number of guests and preferably have provided wedding catering at your chosen venue or one very similar.
Menu options Discuss carefully all of the different menu options. Try and choose a catering service which arranges menu tastings – this dress rehearsal is very important, particularly if you are going to have some dishes which are unfamiliar to you.
Customer input A bit like with the choice of wedding photographer, it is important to only choose contractors and suppliers that you think you can work with. If a catering company is not interested in listening to you or allowing your input, then they are not the best choice for what is after all, your special day.
References Try and get hold of authentic references or verification from previous brides and grooms who have used their services. If possible, choose couples whose reception was most closely allied to the one you have planned.
Cost of Service Find out exactly how much the catering will cost. Ask if everything is included in this quote like utensils, table linens, decorations and crockery. This is particularly important if you are using a dry hire venue. Establish the caterers terms and conditions, what is the percentage due for the deposit and when is the final balance payable.
Hire the finest Asian wedding services in London. Bharat Gangaram are quality Asian wedding caterers offering sumptuous banquets for your special day at venues in London and beyond. We cater for weddings of all sizes and offer years of expertise in providing catering at weddings across the capital. Take a look at what we offer on our website www.bharatgangaram.com

cool news:
I've changed the MC's parents' variables a little. Now you choose what you call your mom and dad: Mom/Mommy/Mother/Mama, Dad/Daddy/Father/Papa, or input your own!
And in Book 2 you'll be able to change what you call them, including using their first names instead!
#y'know for the new kids that will always hate them lol#i grew up using mommy and daddy#imagine my horror at the modern connotations#i call them mom and dad like 9/10 times now#new kid#mom and dad#customization#i really really needed to give an input option for this#there are so many different new kids that 'Mom' and 'Dad' just sounds generic to the point of breaking immersion#now i can stop worrying about it for good 😆

for real WHERE does the idea that [utdr humans] are nongendered so that "you can project on them" come from. their literal character arcs are about NOT being a blank slate to be filled in by the audience
i think i understand the assumption on some level for undertale, because there is a very intentional effort to make you identify with the "player character" in order to make your choices feel like your own (the beating heart of undertale's metanarrative lies in giving you an alternative path to violence against its enemies after all, and whether you're still willing to persue it for your own selfish reasons. YOUR agency is crucial).
of course, the cardinal plot twist of the main ending sweeps the rug from under your feet on that in every way, and frisk's individuality becomes, in turn, a tool to further UT's OTHER main theme: completionism as a form of diegetic violence within the story. replaying the game would steal frisk's life and happy ending from them for our own perverse sentimentality, emotionally forcing our hand away from the reset button.
i think their neutrality absolutely aids in that immersion. but also, there's this weird attitude by (mostly) cis fans where it being functional within the story makes it... somehow "editable" and "up to the player" as well? which is gross and shows their ass on how they approach gender neutrality in general lol.
but also like. there's plenty of neutral, non PCharacters in undertale and deltarune. even when undertale was just an earthbound fangame and the player immersion metanarrative was completely absent, toby still described frisk as a "young, androgynous person". sometimes characters are just neutral by design. it's not that hard to understand lol.
anyone who makes this argument for kris deltarune is braindead. nothing else to say about it.
#this is a very difficult topic to discuss imo because on Some level I don't completely disagree with people who make that argument for chara#in SPIRIT. if not in action. like my point still stands characters can just Be neutral. and if that level of customization had been intended#well Pokemon's been doing the ''are you a boy or a girl'' shtick for ages. no reason why that couldn't have been included as well#but i do feel that we're supposed to identify with chara within the story. not as in chara is us but as in we are chara#and i think someone playing the game without outside interferences and (wrongly) coming to the conclusion that chara IS literally#themselves in the story. and thus call them by their own name (the one they likely inputted at the start) and pronouns#will be someone who grasped undertale's metanarrative more than someone who went in already spoiled on the NM route who thinks of chara#(and on some level frisk as well) as completely separate from us with independent wills and personhoods at any time#who treats them as nonbinary. even if their approach is more ''appropriate'' to a gender neutral person#systematic error vs manually changing every measure to fit what you already think is going to be the correct result. ykwim?#of course this opens a whole new parentheses while discussing the game outside of your personal experience#because even if you DO see chara as a self insert then they are a self insert for EVERYONE. women men genderqueer people#i don't call chara ''biscia'' even though that's what i named the fallen human in my playthrough. neither do i use they because i also do#if you're describing the character/story objectively in how they are executed then you're going to talk about them neutrally#because you ain't the only sunovabitch who played the darn game sonny#so like. either way you turn it. even in the most self insert reading you'd STILL logically use they/them so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ git gud#answered asks

Hi Harker! So I'm playing da2 for the first time after following you for years, and I really like what you've talked about before setting up tactics so that your siblings/romance/etc respond to come and protect you when under attack or below x health. Would you mind explaining how you do that? Idk if I'm missing something but these tactics options don't seem to be very extensive 🥴
it’s hard to do anything incredibly specific, “protect me if i’m under x health” might be beyond it, but: inputting Enemy Attacking: Hawke -> Attack will have them go for anyone coming after you. you can also input more specific commands for if Enemy Attacking: Hawke, like with my archer i’ve been having bethany or merrill cast horror to take anyone trying to attack me out of play for a bit. you could probably also have fenris or isabela use something like taunt or across the bow to draw the enemy’s attention from you, that would be cute. whatever takes ur fancy!!
(the above is not just fun storytelling it’s actual good tactics. protect ur squishies)
actually, you could probably use da2’s ‘Use current condition for next tactic’ action, which i haven’t taken advantage of before, to do something more specific. i wonder if you input ‘Hawke: Health <50% -> Use current condition for next tactic’ and then ‘Enemy Attacking: Hawke -> Attack’, maybe you really could have them particularly come to your aid if you’re already hurt. i’ve never tried this but food for thought!
#fascinatingly i just saw a mod that lets you input#‘Ally: Surrounded By x number of enemies’ or ‘Enemy: Surrounded By x number of enemies’ as a condition in custom tactics#i wonder how well that works bc it could be very useful for a lot of abilities#esp protecting allies who aren’t supposed to get surrounded

they should invent a socially acceptable way to tell customers that they are making every employee in the store actively suicidal
I can't cry on command anymore, but sometimes I miss being able to

i started playing fields of mistria and the game having like 8 pronoun options got me thinking about it
like, i am a cis man. there are, technically, correct pronouns to use for me
but they/them pronouns aren’t incorrect. and she/her pronouns are, but it’s not like people are gonna use my pronouns to my face, anyways, so i wouldn’t ever know about it
basically point is how people refer to me when i’m not there is none of my business
#granted i have the benefit of being cis#nobody’s gonna cause me gender dysphoria by referring to me as a woman#also if you misgender someone purposely i will break your legs#also i’m surprised that they allow you to use NO pronouns#but you can’t input custom neopronouns#although i’m pretty sure it’s still in early access

I almost sent my boss a link to my blog to prove I can create a functioning document rendering pipeline using JSON data lmfao fucking oops
#look all I'm saying is MS Word does NOT scale well if we're creating tests at the scale we are/want to#and I may be a translator and not a programmer but fuck if I don't have the skills to save us literal months of work#and the custom theme I just finished is my best way to prove I can do it despite not having the credentials!#love it how they hired me to do boring manual data input and now I'm fighting for my fucking life to change the way they conceptualize data#stumbled into a tangentially tech job by pure chance lmao

anybody else peeing on the clock rn
#corporate is doing this new thing where they post our hiring ad sort the apps do a zoom interview and fully hire associates for our store#with NO input from the store. these candidates are showing up ALREADY HIRED entirely sight unseen to the store#one of the guys is literally a guy who interviewed in store a few months ago and was REJECTED#and he applied again to a new position listing with a different email#and corporate hired him from the fucking zoom interview#the reason he was rejected was bc in the store interview he smelled like ass and he said he quit his last job#bc he thought management were idiots and he could do the job better#but now he’s HIRED so we’re obligated to keep him on for a full 90 days of employment#and give him every opportunity /accommodation to succeed in that time#when just looking at this guy he is NOT meant for front end work. he is rude!!! to our customers!!!!!

hey it'd be so fucked up and funny to play Undertale on the Wii balance board
#oxbow.txt#I only had Wii Fit Plus as a kid so custom input setups always make me think of those minigames and their objectively bizarre controls
