#AskFedi what screen readers are people using these days?
With folks moving to more secure browsers, I feel like it’s time to find new ones for website accessibility audits. Curious how others are treating the browser upheaval & accessibility?
I’m working on this for one of my #nonprofit clients and to grow out our accessibility resources for communicators.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.
She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Update. The #EuropeanCouncil just adopted the #OpenScience proposal anticipated earlier this month (this thread, above). No #embargoes. No #APCs. #Nonprofit publishing. #OpenLicenses. #OpenInfrastructure. consilium.europa.eu/en/press/p…
While this is not yet policy, it's a weighty recommendation to the Commission and member states.
This is big. No #embargoes. No #APCs.
"The #EU is ready to agree that immediate #OpenAccess to papers reporting publicly funded research should become the norm, w/o authors having to pay fees & that the bloc should support #nonprofit scholarly publishing models.
In a move that could send shockwaves through commercial scholarly #publishing, the positions are due to be adopted by the Council of the EU member state governments later this month."
