The government is banning credit and debit card surcharges -- and that's a win for accessibility.

For many disabled people, digital payments aren't a choice -- they're a necessity. Surcharges meant we were paying more just to access the same services.

This move makes things fairer, more inclusive, and more accessible for everyone.

Affordability is an access issue.

Tonight at 7 PM Central, I'm hosting an event on our Discord. We'll be talking about AI stuff and just hanging out together.
It's a relaxed space, so whether you're really into AI or just curious, you're welcome to join.
Here's the link to join the event:

Think you’re compliant? Most teams aren’t sure what Section 508 really means.

I know I haven’t been around for a few weeks. I bought a MacBook Air and it’s been a steep learning curve, especially adapting everything for accessibility. I’ve also been trying to find a new therapist after the last one wasn’t the right fit. On top of that, I’ve been dealing with accessibility issues from the university.

Your competitors have apps. Why don’t you?
Every day without a mobile app is a missed opportunity to connect with users, automate processes, and drive growth. We build custom native apps for iOS, Android, and VisionOS with accessibility built in from the start.
If your brand isn’t on mobile, you’re already behind. We can change that.

PSA: if you set your default language in your Fedi client, it'll make your posts more accessible to folx who speak other languages by enabling them to use translation features more easily.

PART 2 is here!

We’re back with John Romano for the second half of this powerful conversation. From inclusive emergency preparedness to tech that actually serves people with disabilities, John continues to challenge the status quo and inspire real change.

If you thought Part 1 was good… buckle up.

Accessibility isn’t just about compliance—it’s about better user experience, higher engagement, and stronger SEO! At Accessible Minds, we help you create digital platforms that work for EVERYONE. Ready to make an impact? Let’s talk!

#FreeBSD provides the Ports Collection, a convenient way to install applications. Some ports allow users to configure options before building and installing. By default, this configuration is done through an interactive menu in the terminal.

To improve readability and #Accessibility especially for users with low vision or color blindness, it's important to offer simple and customizable color options. These features have recently been implemented and documented in the preview version of the FreeBSD Accessibility Handbook:
https://freebsd-accessibility-9d667f.gitlab.io/en/books/accessibility/colors/index.html#colors-ports

The next step is to extend these features to all terminal-based graphical components.

I'd love to hear from you:
Do you use any accessibility features in the terminal?
Which color-related assistive technologies make the biggest difference in your daily workflow?

Together, we can make FreeBSD more accessible for everyone. #ThePowerForEveryone #FreeBSD #Accessibility #OpenSource #LowVision #ColorBlindness #AssistiveTechnology #AccessibilityMatters

Accessibility matters for everyone.

Whether permanent or temporary, disability can affect us all at some point in our lives. That’s why accessibility isn’t a bonus feature: it’s a necessity.

At Jami, we’re committed to making private communication truly inclusive. From screen reader support to keyboard navigation, here’s where we stand and where we’re going: https://jami.net/how-accessible-is-jami/

Struggling to read your screen? Try switching to dark mode or boosting text contrast. These simple settings can make a big difference for individuals with low vision—clearer text, less strain, and a more comfortable digital experience. #LowVisionTips #AccessibilityMatters
