Came here to say the same 💜

Bluesky accessibility settings, including a toggle "require alt text before posting"

Follow-up reminder: if you want to use alt text but keep forgetting, there's a setting for that!

A brief guide on writing good alt text for images, which suggests including 1. Who or what 2. Their expression or emotion 3. A description of the image 4. Notable colors 5. Interesting features The included example image and description: "A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara's head." Dan's addition: saving the "interesting thing" for last is a bit like writing a joke - end with the memorable punchline!

Irregular reminder that alt text on images is a valuable accessibility tool, and also lets your images show in search results or respect mute lists. For instance, I found the below image by searching "capybara alt text".

Hayao Miyazaki, stroking his head, glasses off, cigarette in his mouth, looking entirely done with everything.

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

Hey Brits! I'm sure you've seen this, but quite a lot of us don't dig this move. I certainly don't.
Seems invasive and quite open to abuse (and hacking!), especially looking at the shower in power and the worse shower waiting in the wings. Yeesh.

I'm listening

A male Lalafell Bard in Final Fantasy XIV. He is wearing a medieval style outfit with a ruffled white shirt under a turqoise tabard and puffed black trousers. The main feature is a giant cavalier hat with a red plume.

Spent far too many hours grinding out a gear set for a job I barely even play but as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it.

what movie do you consider “perfect”?

this would fix me

Congrats Mila!

Whole bunch of my childhood favourites in that list!

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors.

The fact that they canned it after one season and left the story unfinished is frankly criminal.

I mean it literally has the greatest theme tune of all time:

Thanks for the awesome design!

me, not wanting to start anything until they're gone:

Honestly if I see a Lego Voyager I'll be ordering that immediately.

Team Cherry, to the best of my knowledge, never diminished the work of contractors. Let that be clear.

It was brainrotted assholes who want to insist that gamedev “isn’t that hard” and “only needed a few devs and a handful of contractors” to get this masterpiece out the door.

Don’t fall for it.

I did this! And apparently I'd completely blanked it from my memory till now 😅

A chart titled "Semiotic Standard" showing a collection of futuristic safety and system symbols designed for spacecraft. Each symbol is inside a square with red, black, white, gray, yellow, blue, or green coloring, and labeled with meanings such as “Pressurized Area,” “Cryogenic Vault,” “Airlock,” “Hazard/Warning,” “Exhaust,” “Radiation Hazard,” “High Radioactivity,” “Refrigeration,” “Direction,” and “Life Support System.” A legend at the bottom explains the color codes: red for visible/solid/alive/abnormal, white and grey for life-supporting conditions, black for vacuum and danger, yellow for harmful atomic/chemical processes, blue for lowered thermal condition, and green for biological substances. The chart is signed “R. Cobb.”

Semiotic Standard icons designed by Ron Cobb for the USCSS Nostromo in Alien (1979).

They're everywhere in the USCSS Maginot from Alien Earth (2025).

Takes like this leave me genuinely speechless.

right? I was so ready to give them my money

kids definitely get better designs

Definitely an untapped market right here.

Devastated.

A black Vans T-shirt featuring various dinosaurs. The description text reads: Little Kids Glow Dino T-shirt (2-8 Years).

You ever see an ad for a cool shirt and when you click through to buy it you realise it's for kids?

Happy Birthday Jay! 🥳
