Jupyter notebooks in 2024 is still not accessible.

In his #PyCascades talk, Venkatesh Potluri (who is blind) noted that popular Python libraries like matplotlib etc still can't embed alt text.

He made a patch for it, but the notebooks still don't pick up alt text.

ALt text is definitely an issue and something needs to be done about plot accessibility, but VS Code works well enough as a screen-reader-friendly Jupyter interface. Speaking from personal experience here.
