We are joined by Florian Beijers @zersiax who is a full time screen reader user to talk about how the accessibility experience differs on various operating systems and Linux desktop environments, and what open source software devs could be doing better.
The conversation with @josh and @matthew about @matrix on @FLOSS_Weekly was fascinating and for once I would have enjoyed more than an hour. Matthew's frustration with trying to explain to legislators why #ChatControl and #OnlineSafetyBill are so misguided was especially striking - I do hope @EUCommission listen.

🌴We've finally wrangled everyone together for a group photo last month! 📸
We're a small but mighty team based in Montreal 🇨🇦, and building a secure and private communication app like Jami takes more than just code. It takes a dedicated team with a shared vision, a healthy dose of humor (seriously, check out those smiles! 😄), and a passion for collaboration (both within our team and with the amazing Free software community 🌐). #OpenSource #Privacy #TogetherWeBuild
