Update intro text of accessibility statement

Even though this website is primarily meant to be my own space of self-expression, I also want every visitor to my website to have the best possible experience of browsing my website. Accessibility is also relevant to me as a disabled and neurodivergent person.
Therefore, I strive to design my website to be accessible, including to fellow disabled and neurodivergent people, by aiming to meet [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2](https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/) Level AA standards.

* Responsive design and mobile-friendly layout
* Semantic HTML, enhanced by Web Accessibility Initiative – Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA)
* Sufficient colour contrast between text and background colours
* Alt text for all non-decorative images, occasionally accompanied with longer image descriptions
* Keyboard navigation-friendly: Every interactive element can be focused and interacted with keyboard buttons, with visible outline when focused

This site uses the [Lexend](https://www.lexend.com/) font family as the default font and [Intel One Mono](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/company-overview/one-monospace-font.html) as the monospace font to improve text readability.
