It sounds interesting but i think you should post a link to it.


GUI tool for RemoteApp management. Generates RDP/MSI files for client deployment. I'm using it with TailScale/ZeroTier when port forwarding is not available.


I'm quite happy with Cody from Sourcegraph https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sourcegr...


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... (dreaming in a dream)

Because no app is using buttons provided by the operating system or even a widget library anymore. Since they want to be pixel perfect, low contrast, bla bla of the week.


My mom has a mobile flip phone that was “designed for the elderly”. Big buttons, big labels, etc. The “Volume Down” button is also giant and is on the side. It’s also strategically located so every time she picks up the phone, tightly gripped, she unknowingly turns the ringer volume all the way down. Sigh…


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#:~:....


That only disables the permission or increases the uncertainty, it doesn't really feed fake data.

If apps refuse to work unless you provide detailed location info or other permissions, there's no "provide fake data" option like the post suggests.


It's frustrating that the app knows you haven't provided it with exact location. Approximate location is usually sufficient and I wish android could just feed that into the app as an exact location.


Apps can use GeoIP to get an approximate location most of the time, and there's nothing Google can do to prevent it.


There's a significant difference between "Your ISP's IP block suggests you are near Stockton,CA" and "Your exact location +/- 5 meters"


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.


but sadly Group Policy is not available on Windows Home edition


In most cases, you can get group policies like these to work if you manually create the registry keys that GPO would create for you. It's more complicated, but it can work.


works about as well as taking a pair of scissors to your nightlamp's electrical cable to go to sleep
