I have an elderly friend who is a daily user of the internet. Currently he uses a Windows 10 laptop.
However he has memory problems and his eyesight is imperfect. He finds the experience with Windows very frustrating at times.
His problems I would try to summarise as follows:
- unwanted and unexpected changes in the user interface
- complicated login procedure with PIN, passwords etc
- unresponsive computer due to updates being processed
- text being too small including that of error messages
- too many unwanted features
- on booting up the computer appears ready but is not
He finds it very confusing when unexpected things happen. He needs things too be simple, straight forward and the interface to stay the same from year to year.
"...a recent intensification of the persecution of the Baha’is in Iran appears to be underway,
signaling the implementation of a larger plan by the Iranian government to increase the persecution of the community, the largest non-Muslim religious minority in the country.
A campaign of raids on Baha’i homes and baseless arrests of Baha’is is currently unfolding across Iran. So far, dozens of Baha'i homes have been raided by authorities in Baharestan, Isfahan, and Shiraz, resulting in the detention of over 20 Baha’is and more who can be called to prison at any time."
And this month:
"The Baha’i International Community is calling for the Iranian government to be held accountable for its campaign of hate speech against the Baha’is in Iran.
In recent months, the four-decades long state-sponsored campaign of hate speech and propaganda has reached new levels, increasing in both sophistication and scale."
"More than 200 Baha’is were executed in the 1980s; today, they are denied public sector jobs, higher education, their livelihoods are often disrupted, their cemeteries desecrated, and they are vilified in state and semi-official media as well as from the pulpit and in schools and other educational institutions."
Plus the booklet "Bahá'í Books - A Short Introduction" has been added as an associated title. The cost remains at US$0.99 for both.
The first booklet is intended as a short introduction to the Bahá'í Faith for the spiritual seeker and for those of mystical inclination.
The second briefly introduces some 60 books of interest to the inquirer. It tries to include especially those available for free download though there are many good books included for which this is not true. This is partly because readers around the world are currently experiencing difficulties with traditional mail system due to the pandemic.
