What I meant is that the majority of people don’t have a disability that would prevent them from using technology. The ones who do, should and do get assistance
> Not to mention, there are plenty of people who are religiously or ideologically against new technology
If your religion or ideology is to live in an ancient world, by all means do. Just don’t come to the 21st century and complain that you cannot enjoy the modern society
- johngladtj 3y agoThat's fine. Do they get to not pay taxes too?
- em-bee 3y agodo you realize how degrading it is having to ask for help everytime because of a disability? we should be empowering people to be independent, and that is even more important for people with disabilities.

If "modern society" means "please make these ethically dubious companies in a duopoly that produce devices I don't even like even richer", then I will gladly be "ancient". I have serious problems more or less forcing people to give money to one of these two 100% for-profit companies, especially when it's for public services. It's fundamentally and profoundly anti-free market. For all the hate the web and browsers get here, at least that's an open platform that you can run on more or less $any system of your choice, or even re-implement from scratch (which, while still a large project, is quite as hard as sometimes made out to be).
