Mezzo Fediverso italiano mi conosce ma siccome mi sto un po' alla volta liberando del vecchio nick "talksina" in cui non mi riconosco più, sto gradualmente migrando da @talksina a qui. Principalmente per liberarmi dalla schiavitù dei 500 caratteri. Immagine del profilo per ora no, aspetto di farne una coi nuovi occhiali addosso. Continuerò a occuparmi di #WordPress, #accessibility e anche attivismo #hiv se serve. #introduzione #fediverso
#introduction Italian, European, citizen of the world. Internet user since 1998 but started with PC in 1989. Formerly facebook, now stable on Mastodon - formerly "talksina" on MastodonUno italian instance; still "talksina" as handle into Linkedin, WordPress .org profile, google (till it lasts) and github, as it's impossible to edit profile name. I believe in data liberation and ownership. I work on accessibility (web and apps), I have a disability myself (totally blind). Blogger, WordPress user and MarkDown lover, interested in electronic voices and creating audio-dramas with text-to-speech. AI user, moderately optimistic. HIV awareness advocate. Firmly against tech-based "age verification" on sexuality related sites. Education should do the job, allowing governments to control Internet is introduction to censorship. #accessibility #WordPress #blind #disability #hiv #advocacy
