CHROME FOR ANDROID DEVICE TERRIBLE FOR LOW VISION USERS

For people with low contrast vision issues this update is a tragedy. As well as people who are only just able to see, this new update is also terrible. Now I only slightly have an issue with contrast personally and I found it to be annoying as hell.

The idea of putting little circles around the icons seems to be a very popular thing for Android everything this last while and I hate it. It makes the icon smaller and harder to see and has literally no value to doing this. If you could group the icons to a color code it would be of use, but no such luck. All it does is make it harder for low vision people to use the device - in this case the most viewed pages.

The search and web address bad is now harder to use because there is almost no difference between it and the background for low sighted people. If it where not for the text it would no longer be visible at all.

I get that you are trying for a "clean look" but this is terrible.

Why on earth is there not a high contrast mode on most popular apps? Or at LEAST a night mode for them? I find it so much more easy on my eyes to have things in night mode - I wish to GOD that all my apps had this, but no such luck.

Feeling Abandoned by the SAID Program (Saskatchewan Disability)

Image
"Saskatchewan Department of Human Services" is the closest translation to Saskatchewan Social Services Department I could get. But I made them a new logo. They are the ones who run the disability here in the province. I know someone is picking up for my working not working there anymore, but it's been a LONG time and no call from them at all. I sent an email request to the email I was told to send it to. I called the number twice after that to leave a message. This is not cool from email to now is 4 working days. In all that time surly, it's my turn to be handled? I'm very upset and it's literally making me sick. So some art therapy is in order I think. To be honest I've had it a LOT better with them than the medical system to say the least, but DANG, I'm stressed out to the max and I am getting frightened that something very bad has gone wrong like thy messed up and closed my file by mistake. It HAS happened to a friend, so don't think it's no

SAID Did Not Handle It at All

Image
I'm actually extremely more sad than angry. I put a lot of energy into trying to get an advance, but it seems doomed to not happen, no matter how much I need it. Mar 13, 2024 I email SAID (disability in Saskatchewan). Mar 15, 2024 Left a voice mail. Mar 18, 2024 left another voice mail. Mar 20, 2024 got a call telling me they would process the advance on Mar 21, 2024. The deposit into my account should have been just after midnight on Mar 22, 2024. Well this is 6:46 am Mar 22, 2024 and I have left yet another voicemail. The money was never deposited OF COURSE. I need shoes SOON, but do you think I can get the government workers to do what they are being paid to do? Well, no I can't. I would pray that they get the message and it somehow magically gets deposited today before 1 pm. But I am rather sure this was the last push I needed to stop believing there is a God. I am really depressed right now and exhausted. The stress of them taking so dang long to even get back to me has le

Medical Update (Disturbing Photo Warning)

Image
On Dec. 31, 2023 I was laying on the floor in my apartment for 7 hours after falling when I got too drunk. I wan not able to get up and it took some time for anyone to hear me calling for help. I find it amazing that the people on either side of me, or across the hall heard nothing, but the lady way down the hall did hear me. She called an ambulance for me and I was helped off the floor with use of an air bag designed just for this task. I was taken to the hospital and seen right away. When in the hospital I was advised I needed a CT scan of my brain right away, as I'm on blood thinners and they worried about bleeding into my brain, since I could not recall falling. The CT operator in the Moose Jaw hospital was not available and I had to be taken to Regina General to have the scan. Fortunately, I did not have any bleeding in my brain. I have to say, that after being on the floor for 7 hours, if I did, I'd be dead or a salad plate by the time I was found. But better to be cautio

Grandma Popowitch. She looks like Rita Haworth to me. I fixed up the image a bit, but did not spend a lot of time on it. There is a lot of speckling in the hair still. Feel free to use the image for art projects, posters, ads, whatever the heck you wish.
