@odr_k4tana@infosec.exchange @Gargron@mastodon.social I have been and continue to be interested in tech. I miss the customization options for the early Macs - delicate blue and white menu bar detailing and even special patterns for scroll bars. But I have long covid, and every time someone pushes a user interface change I get pounding headaches from trying to adapt to it. I cannot emphasize how much I wish someone would build a device whose user interface changes were guaranteed to happen *only* when there were *no* alternatives and whose feature updates consisted of "we fixed some broken stuff on the back end, no new functions that aren't opt-in, we promise." I crave a non-existent utopian world where I can buy an electronic device that's the equivalent of a multimeter: I pay once, and I swap out the batteries occasionally, and I use it until I don't need it any more, and *nothing about it changes*.
