it's sort of astonishing just how bad every piece of "kiosk" software is. bought a train ticket, checked in at the airport, using my seatback display, all on just the most eye-wateringly terrible UI and UX

@xor i invented a thing many years ago at shmoocon i called "mspaint as a service", where I was able to bypass the kiosk mode of a large touchscreen display that sat between elevators getting to the desktop, then i'd open mspaint and fullscreen it, and let all the folks at lobbycon who'd been drinking "basically fingerpaint".

it was pretty rad. started a thing. did mspaint as a service for years after that.

you should do the same at the train station! \o/

@xor Would be fun if the computer just spat a saw.

@xor Well, it worked. Image was shown here reduced to 75% of its size 🤷‍♂️

Aww, wait: the entire image, not just the table. He didn't specify the target element / selector precisely enough – and the entire deck (which you see is comprised of table cells) was reduced 🤦‍♂️

Yeah, still the same problems…

If you take the "c" and "x" off the ends of "cardboard box", you're left with a perfectly repeating ardbo-ardbo

Typical. People always trying to keep ardbo-ardbo in a box.
