Digital independence day for blind people is as hypocrite as Valentine's day if you are in an abusive relationship, where one gives chocolate hearts to their partner while abusing of them, one day after the other.
No, this is not my way to get angry/envious of people who celebrate good stories. But to remind that too many people can't afford digital independence from multi-billionaires tech, as smaller companies/communities aren't so careful of accessibility (yet). This is due to a very relevant digital gap lasting since 25 years at least, when laws have started to come out before learning. Investments made on empathy-driven campaigns, "you must make it accessible otherwise"... The consequence is we have most 40-50 years old developers who know nothing. And 30-20 years old devs who could learn, but who are gradually being replaced by automated tools which claim to create accessibility automatically while accessibility needs human approach.

Iraqi Linux 🐧 لينكس العراقي

We #DID this through:

★ replacing email service provider to #tutanota
★ changing the OS to #Linux 🐧 , with least prepackaged disros.
★ using @signalapp instead of #WhatsApp.
★ using Telegram & @Mastodon :mastodon: for publication of our content

Currently, we are looking forward for finding ways to support our efforts locally in Iraq to popularize #FOSS for everyone (no matter how much tech experience has)
