There's a growing movement on the #fedi that wants people to switch away from Big (US-based) Tech and towards #FOSS alternatives like #Linux, alternatives to #google, #Microsoft, #dropbox etc.
For #screenReader users, that might not be as simple as all that due to #accessibility reasons. This weekend's IC_Null stream aims to dig into this, but I need your help. What tools, services etc. should I look at from an #accessibility perspective? Anyone here who needs their tools evaluated? Anyone here who's curious about a particular tool or suite of tools? Let me know and I'll add it to the list. Anything goes. #selfHosting #blind #tech#EU

I feel I should slightly expand on why I am doing this particular stream. I am fully expecting to find a large number of #accessibility issues in all sorts of places, for all sorts of different groups of people. My stream aims to highlight that "just switch to X, it's better/more secure/more privacy-focused/not run by a dick" is often ANYTHING but "just"and may very well not be an option for people who are stuck using products that the ADA scared into being accessible. If by more privacy-focused you mean that not even I can see what I'm writing, I suppose we can note that down as a feature. But until things massively improve, it's quite simply, not that simple.
