Keynote: You are welcome in this world

Talkat PyCon AU 2025 · 2025-09-12..09-16· [accessibility, design-collaboration]
slides:none on file

Keynote argues that inclusion is about people and tiny choices, not checklists, and proves it with concrete examples: a blind father using bump dots to operate touch‑panel microwaves, a screen reader driving metadata edits in MP3 Tag Studio, remote access via AnyDesk, and an accessible Forza racing build that actually works. Historical tracing to Mike Paciello and W3C standards appears, and the painful claim that accessibility barriers hit him on nine out of every ten sites lands hard — watch if concrete tools, real failures, and tested fixes matter.
