Re:Digitization Puts Many at a Disadvantage on Thursday January 04, 2024 @03:11AM (#38864460)
Many challenges older or disabled individuals face with digital devices are due to design issues, not the technology itself. I've seen that when devices or systems are convoluted, it's often due to business interests prioritizing revenue over user experience. This is not an inherent flaw of digital technology but a result of corporate strategies that can be changed through better regulation and consumer demand for user-friendly designs.

Considering the specific issues highlighted in the article, it's curious why there hasn't yet been the development of an accessible, user-friendly operating system featuring large buttons and straightforward menus. Such an OS could then be paired with more accessible versions of websites, like a flight booking service, which would present plain text and essential functions in the clearest possible manner...

Android introduced the approximate location option (I believe it was in version 11) as a per-app toggle in the permission settings. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6179507?hl=en#:~:....
Before the beta version with PDF reader & annotations, the best one was Citavi (https://www.citavi.com/en) - which is still better for large projects.
