REALL I want buttons like a console controller or typewriter

bemusedbehemoth.bsky.social•43 days ago

Also make proper music devices solely for music a thing again (they cost stupid amounts of money rn) AND GIVE THEM BUTTONS. Don't make me use my phone for everything, I'm sick of it.

YES! I want to give my kid a music player and they just!Kind of don't exist?

bemusedbehemoth.bsky.social•43 days ago

It's so depressing! I hate how we take safe options away from kids.

Like I can't imagine not having had something like a walkman when I was growing up T___T

rinnu500.bsky.social•43 days ago

I grew up with an mp3, a walkman and later an ipod. Like give them back, I miss them so much

especially because they didn't distract you with 100 other things!!! I could just listen to music and focus on what I was doing ;-;

thoughts on the old circle button you spun around to control volume, and also worked as up/down in a menu?

bemusedbehemoth.bsky.social•43 days ago

Personally I liked them!

superbunnybun.bsky.social•43 days ago

me too. a minimalist design with multiple functions built in. simple, effective. ...so I expect someone to read your demand, misunderstand, and create a touchscreen app for your phone that mimics that wheel for working with your spotify playlist

I wish point and shoot cameras were still being made and not as expensive as a phone

Tactile inputs are superior! Fuck everything else! It makes sense for phones because of all the different functions it has, but where you're repeating the same types of input day in and day out, buttons are where it's at.

ESPECIALLY IN CARS.

bemusedbehemoth.bsky.social•43 days ago

OH MY GOD WHAT?! I don't drive so I was oblivious to it... but like... in particular like things with cars tactile feedback is *everything*?!

imagine0enigami.bsky.social•43 days ago

Had a dodge challenger as a rental a while back and the climate control was ALLLLL touchscreen I wanted to DIE.

Partly why we’ve stuck with Mazda. The infotainment is touch screen. Or you can use a wheel in the console. And the climate control is still BUTTONS.

This, especially for car dashes

bemusedbehemoth.bsky.social•43 days ago

I've never driven a car in my life but I know enough to know that this would drive me absolutely insane.

dinosaucy.bsky.social•43 days ago

Preach!

undrewsual.bsky.social•43 days ago

BIG CLICKY CLACKY BUTTONS IN BRIGHT COLORS!

bemusedbehemoth.bsky.social•43 days ago

THERE IS A REASON WE'RE ALL CUSTOMISING OUR KEYBOARDS THESE DAYS.

thepirateweasel.bsky.social•43 days ago

Nah, this ain't no millenial, everyone hates touch screens for things that should be for buttons. I'd say those are more for boomers, they prefer touch screens because they think they will attract the newer generations this way.

I can't turn on the defroster in my car in the dead of winter without taking off my gloves. But I've got buttons for the seat warmer!

bemusedbehemoth.bsky.social•43 days ago

I can't believe we have so many touch controls in bloody cars of all things.

T H I S

I am so sick of not being able to type on this fucking phone lol

bemusedbehemoth.bsky.social•43 days ago

I don't know what it is about my fingers, but I've never been able to get ANY phone to register where I'm tapping (while I'm typing) correctly.

Also it cramps my hand.

I HATE IT.

thaelyn1312.bsky.social•43 days ago

Same. I had to retype this like five fucking times lmao 😂😭
