I may use this image in a future presentation. I have found it on the Fediverse but lost the originator, and of course I would want to credit them.
Could anyone point me to the post it was excerpted from please?

I was listening to @span doubletap talking about how much the screen reader JAWS costs.I couldn’t believe how expensive it was, so. I went to Freedom Scientific to look up the numbers. A home license is $674 … PER YEAR. So for 3 years, that’s over $2000.
You could buy Apple’s VoiceOver screen reader for $2000, and they’ll throw in a top-of-the-line 14” MacBook Pro FOR FREE with 24GB of RAM and their overpriced 1TB of storage.
Or you could get NVDA for free.
I got a new travel rewards credit card that offers Priority Pass lounge access. The activation form used custom select input controls that did not allow for keyboard input. I wrote customer support to inform them how they are violating the European Accessibility Act (EAA) by not meeting WCAG 2.2. I hope a lifetime of 5-minute-activism adds up to something.
Y’all. I did it. I just published my very first macOS app. 🎉
It’s a color contrast checker for accessibility compliance. I designed and built it for myself, but I’m also gifting it to the world.
It’s not in the App Store, but it is signed for safety. And it will let you know when there’s an update.
I’m a little giddy about it. 😊

Yo @ThePSF the vendor you use for the board election ballot is not screen reader accessible. Does that then mean that me and other blind people are unable to vote?
Choked to say the least here...
I spent a bunch of time this evening updating the Wikipedia entry for the #EuropeanAccessibilityAct#EAA which is now in effect.
I wanted to have better representation for country specific data:

Still needs a lot of work, but it is a good start #Accessibility #a11y
