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?

using generative ai to write code is called vibe coding because it's about as effective at writing code as turning a vibrator on maximum and dropping it on a keyboard

All content must be brand new and never before posted to any forum. All content must be polished and finished. No unfinished works or WIPs that you plan on continuing later will be accepted. Works that are added chapters/continuations of previously published works are not permitted unless they can be viewed/read as a standalone. 

Plagiarism and AI content will not be tolerated. All content must be the creator’s own original work. 

Writers are asked not to talk about their projects until after claims with anyone participating in this event to keep beta/artist claims fair. 

All content must focus on Shadowhunters universe characters (show and/or book verse.)

All Shadowhunters characters/ships are accepted. OCs/borrowed characters will be accepted as minor characters. 

AUs and crossovers are accepted as long as the Shadowhunters characters are the main focus.

Content of any rating and subject matter is accepted, but participants must make sure to include any relevant warnings throughout the entire event (I.e. warnings for betas/artists during matching) and properly tag their work. 

No blatantly hateful content of any kind. 

All participants are required to check-in with moderators at least twice throughout the event. All check-ins are integral to continuing to participate in the event. 

All participants must communicate readily with their assigned partners and vice versa. This is a collaborative effort. All participants must be open to the ideas of their partners. 

When you sign up for this event you are making a commitment to yourself, the mods, and your future partners to meet all posted deadlines and to communicate with the mods and your partners regularly. Please don’t sign up for the event unless you are confident that you can fully participate and be honest with yourself about what you can commit to. 

Please respect the mods and anyone working with you throughout this event. Certain complaints may disqualify you from this event.

Writer Specific Rules:

Writers must write a minimum of 5,000 words to participate in this event. There is no maximum limit but please keep in mind the time constraints.

Submitted summaries (provided at check-ins) should provide a solid framework of what your fic is about and the final fic should not deviate too much from those summaries. In the event that it does, please contact a moderator and your partners. This is to ensure all partners are comfortable with their role throughout the event. 

Writers are expected to be respectful of their partners’ ideas. Writers will make all final decisions on their fics, but this event is a collaborative effort.

Artist Specific Rules:

Accepted forms of submitted art include: 

- Digital/physical art: 1 piece, 500px minimum

- Photomanipulation: 1 piece with significant editing

- Gifsets: 4 gifs (without watermarks)

- Moodboards: 6 graphics

- Video: 1 minute

- Playlists: 10 songs and a graphic

If you are inspired by your writer to create a piece of art not on this list, please feel free to reach out to a mod.  

Artists are expected to be respectful of writer’s ideas. Writers will make all final decisions on their fics, but this event is a collaborative effort.

Artists will need somewhere to host their work so that it can be embedded on AO3. Examples will be provided closer to posting date, if needed. 

Artists signing up for the event may not get their first pick when assigned their fic. Please be mindful of this! Ending your commitment because of this is not permitted and if you feel this will be an issue you should not sign up.

I was asked to elaborate on all the ways Rosaly's death is thematic to Hector and Isaac. Far from me to reject an opportunity to be normal about them :)

The cats on our boop-o-meters are actually lines of code!

They're individual little pixel blocks you can change the dimensions of & make look really fucked up!

Their names appear to be Kum & Kum Agua!

Now they're cubes!

You can change the Kum twins's colors!!

This is so cool, each pixel is a coordinate on the site's page & they all have size & color customization options too! Whoever made these cats, great job to you! I hope you got paid well! 💜

LITERARY DEVICE NEIL, OUR FAVOURITE BOT

Today on the Maggots Discord we lost our beloved bot Neil Who Is Not Here for a time. We all panicked.

I want it documented here for posterity.

And then Arthur said the magic words.

HNG.
