And if you gotta have touchscreens, for the love of all that is holy, put bezels around those things, and make them square, no rounded corner trickery!

@Em0nM4stodon Nokia N900? Motorola Droid 4? :-) Pine Phone + keyboard?

Or maybe someone needs to put Pi Pico + GSM modul + touchscreen into nice package. Or maybe Pi Zero.

"If I ever was to completely redesign the UI, I would want to offer everyone the ability to choose between the new and the old."

Can you tell that to Microsoft, please? They constantly de-designed the UI, version after version.
Also, all "modern" websites now look like candy, big round buttons and you have to endlessly doomscroll now to get to the actual information after the 100 "we enhance your experience" images.

Yes, i second that philosophy, thank you.
