   Tell me you've never helped seniors with tech, without telling me you've never helped seniors with tech.

   And I don't just mean the person answering this question. I also mean whoever decided to remove this option.

     @tychotithonus It’s almost as if the factory farm doesn’t care about the welfare of the livestock or something.

     more and more as i try to help my mom deal with all the "new features" in her computer and phone that don't work for anyone with any sight, eye/hand, or skin chemistry issues, i'm back to this:

     'no developer of any device software/OS that human beings use is allowed to touch a single line of code until they have spent 6 months doing user support at an assisted care facility'

     @paul_ipv6 @tychotithonus it's a nice idea but until those people are a significant enough percent of the userbase it will always be an afterthought

     @feld @paul_ipv6 @tychotithonus yeah, you know what, it more or less is. Maybe work in a product org for a while, and try to be the only person who raises usability issues.

     @cakeisnotalie @paul_ipv6 @tychotithonus maybe we can get the government to hold a gun to developers heads and force them to develop software with accessibility features and pay the enormous cost of testing/QA them too

     @cakeisnotalie @paul_ipv6 @tychotithonus yeah, because the way product development works is that there's a step where you say "Should we make life hell for disabled people? Absolutely" :rolleyes:

     @feld @paul_ipv6 @tychotithonus then set every psychopath who makes exactly that decision on fire. Simple.
