A photo of a very young Eustace (with hair!). He's a tall, slender Black man with a big smile on his face. He's standing beside another person and he's got one arm casually slung across her shoulders. They're both wearing jumpsuits--his blue, hers bright red, and they're each carrying a hockey helmet in one hand. They're both wearing parachutes--they're geared up for a skydive. I blurred her face, because I'm not sure if she'd want this like, nearly forty year old photo of herself online. But I assure you, she's smiling.

In a HEARTBEAT, even today.

Alt text on videos shows up for screen readers, but it’s not easily visible for humans using an app or a browser. 🤷🏾‍♂️

The bot at alt-text.bsky.social only does OCR for text-only images. The keyword alt4me summons human volunteers that’ll take a run at providing alt text for you for both text-only and non-text stuff. The keyword populates a feed that puts these requests in one place so they’re easy to find.

Use this tool. It’s EASY to do this way. All you need is that invite code.

My cultural literacy score is like, two out of ten on my best days.

Exactly. And it doesn't recognize "famous" people. At all.

It probably is an image recognition algorithm. It's also probably looking only at one frame of the gif, which is why you're not being given all the context.

Palestine Action as a terrorist group Sir, The home secretary proposed to ban Palestine Action on the ground of "unacceptable criminal damage" after they infiltrated RAF Brize Norton ("Palestine Action's rise from ashes of Corbynism to public enemy No 1", Aug 9). In the 1980s when I was UK commander of the RAF Greenham Common cruise missile base, I had a £250,000 annual budget to repair damage done by peace protesters to the perimeter fence. We had a strong Ministry of Defence police presence to stop intruders, often in a rather Benny Hill fashion. The intruders were left in no doubt that if they tried to infiltrate the secure storage area with its 96 nuclear warheads, they would be shot by US air force military police, who were a mean crowd. There were thousands of such protesters "threatening" the base, but their freedom of speech was always respected and I never heard anyone in Whitehall or the Pentagon suggest that they should be classed as terrorists.

Probably a technical issue. “Image” and “video” are dissimilar page elements. My guess is that this is why they’re presently being treated differently from one another.

I DID save some. The sad face might get me to give some to you. 😂

Your video alt text is there! It’s just that it’s visible to screen readers, but not so much to human eyes in the browser or in the app.

That’s fair!

But if you’d brought some shrikhand for the dessert I’d have been sold. 😀

A saucepan full of chicken tikka masala is merrily simmering away over the heat. There’s a wooden spoon in the pan on the right.

If you were at my house tonight for dinner, I might have fed you some chicken tikka. Then again, I might have just eaten it all myself. Who can say?

The Museum of MEEEEEEE! 😃

I have a LOT of tchotchkes on my shelf.

I’m going to give this some thought though.

You know, it’s a good song. I’m not sure that I feel transcendence or overwhelmed when I hear it, but it’s certainly moving.

It’s there in the post still—screen readers can see it, but it’s not as readily legible in the app or on the web for humans.

GOOMBA DIEL *Medicare/Medicaid barbe... v @freegovthaircut Replying to @carterforva Wild shit that the basic premise of leftist thought is "maybe the baseline can be no one has to die from poverty or war" and liberals act like this is worse than being a NACT SUPPORTER 10:39 AM • 25 Oct 20 • Twitter Web App

Fear changed to loathing. "The DOGE team wasn't what I expected," says a current government employee who's interacted with Farritor and other core members of DOGE. "Marketed as tech geniuses, yet they could barely keep up with basic tasks. In reality, they were overconfident, drunk on power and utterly clueless. They giggled and asked me how my day was going-right as they hit the keys to obliterate nearly a decade of my work. There wasn't even a flicker of understanding or care. It wasn't just the loss that gutted me. It was the audacity of their casual cruelty."

This song?

Oh, COOL. Thanks!

If I ever decide to stand up my own PDS, I’d almost certainly use it to migrate my account.

Excellent utility. I migrated an alt with it this afternoon.

Hmmmm. Gonna have to work on this.
