I also want to note that tech companies are trying to use us as a meat shield. They're throwing AI into everything under the guise of "accessibility". Meta tried to roll out its smart glasses facial recognition feature to blind people first, to disguise the fact it was mass surveillance. There are so many examples.
Give us somewhere else to go. It's more important than ever right now. Accessible open source software is a tool of freedom and resistance.

@fullfathomfive I'm blind, and I'm sick of being used as a shield by these corporations. I do not agree with their idealogical stances, nor do I consent to being used to make their goals more palettable to the general public. FOSS community, you have a golden opportunity to win over a large portion of the blind and disabled communities. We hate this corporate surveillance garbage and would gladly take an alternative
