Your statement is not a reply to mine.

Exactly. Real buttons you can feel are the obvious correct solution and their lack shows the answer to my title is "No".

More than just adding buttons, they should be placed so that a single hand holding a device for reading can reach, feel them and operate them.
Good hardware designers would have thought about that problem and solved it.
Bad hardware designers keep churning out touch-screen-only ereaders ( and massive, thin, fragile phablet phones, but I digress ).

"Stupid humans relying on an Error-Prone AI Nearly Sparked World War Three"
FTFY

I think we need to be even more worried about a completely accurate AI deliberately sparking World War Three.

Do the designers of the Kindle use them ?!

When one reads with an ereader in bed, one holds it on the covers with one hand and the other hand is on or under the covers.

If the device is well-designed then one should be able to scroll ( or switch pages if one wants to stick to that unnecessary analog legacy ) WITH THE HAND HOLDING THE DEVICE.

Requiring people to buy extra add-on devices to enable page turning shows the designers never understood their users.

The BBC has been taken over by the left and in no way represents - or feels the need to represent - the views of the people it serves and who fund it.

Much like Reddit mods.

Emails and Forums are two totally different things.
An Email needs two people involved to work.
A Forum needs a critical mass of 100s for there to be enough input to make it worth joining.

Not sure if you are stupid or just bad at arguing.

Addressed in another reply.
Not critical mass on one minority interest I tried.

Searched on lemmy for my minority sport.

Not critical mass.

Running a simple, efficient site shouldn't be too expensive and could be more-than-funded by advertising.

More important than that is a critical mass of posters to make it worth visiting and posting on.

Maybe that is the problem.

Reddit is shit and Twitter/X doesn't work for threaded chat.

So where is the open APIs, open source, open forum alternative site ?

Surely there is interest ?

Why doesn't someone set one up ?
Is it a problem of critical mass ? Or what ?

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, "Let there be sharknadoes". And we know how that went.
