“Silicon Valley will spend millions developing a glove that translates sign language into speech (badly), but they won't spend ten minutes adding Alt-Text to their images. They will build a headset that describes the room to me (poorly), but they won't use semantic HTML headings so I can actually navigate a webpage.”

@acdha@code4lib.social @pitermach@dragonscave.space For whatever it's worth, this is not limited to Silicon Valley and accessibility. I've had basically the same conversation with a friend of mine who is active in the Polish NGo sector a few weeks ago, and they have the exact same issue with EU grants for children in foster homes.
