I wonder if it's better for people with epilepsy to have a simple and more robust solution by getting a monitor that has low refresh rate or limited colors than to try to police all the internet and applications from ever showing flashing colors.


They may and if I had epilepsy then I'd look to do the same, but that won't absolve us of the need to take care so that people without special equipment don't need to worry.


Turn your monitor's refresh rate so low that flashing lights won't actually be flashy and try to operate your mouse cursor. Good luck.


A touch device may be a better option in that case.
