2 emails and a LinkedIn message by the same dude trying to sell me his future plug and play solution to "fix website accessibility with minimum effort". It's official, the grifters are flooding and it's ugly.
So, please remember: magical plug and play accessibility solutions are snake oil.

Just sharing something I learned a bit ago

I think everybody knows the “Bliss” wallpaper from Windows XP.

The original photo was taken by Charles O’Rear on medium format color reversal (slide) film, specifically Fujifilm Velvia 50. He shot it on a Mamiya RZ67.

The first image is the original. The second is the version that shipped with Windows XP.

“Bucolic Green Hills”, original photograph of the Napa Valley hills that became the default Windows XP wallpaper. Unedited originalThe default Windows XP wallpaper, saturation and contrast greatly increased, image is cropped in slightly
