#mastodon #fediverse #etiquette post

always use #alttext

you don't have to write a novel. just describe your #video or #picture succinctly

for pictures of #text, there's easy quick online tools to turn it into text

it's not just a matter of making mastodon a friendlier place for #disability: sometimes people aren't in a place they can listen, or they have a bad connection, or the media decayed

and some people don't boost posts without alt text, so you lose engagement

alt text

always

I had a blind friend and got used to describing things to him. It's interesting as it makes you truly look at things.



youtu.be/zL7klttTsnY America is dying. The rich are stripping the nation for parts while we burn down. We own nothing. Literally the only reason we aren't married is because we'd have to spend $300 more a month for health care, because I have VA which is free and she has low income ACA #healthcare <$100/month. If she lost that I would have to pay $400 through my company for both of us just to ensure she could afford healthcare. If we nationalized all these monopolies that we already currently subsidize at $1T (1/4th the budget) per year. Nationalizing all of these #monopolies would cut literally all of our spending in half at the least if not more, we would be healthier, happier, and live longer. We are in the #enshittification stage of #capitalism to the point that we pay more and more for worse and worse at insane speeds never seen, reaching rent seeking with suppressed innovation on purpose or they can't squeeze out more out of less investment. The only private companies should be ones that have competition. If not, they should be nationalized. At least we get some say with democracy instead of just some rich assholes doing what they want to us at their smallest whim

Anthropic will start using user chats transcripts and coding sessions to train its AI models as part of new terms, unless users opt out by September 28, 2025 alternativeto.net/news/2025/8/…
in reply to AlternativeTo

The image shows a pop-up window with a light blue background and a white panel containing text and graphics. The title reads "Updates to Consumer Terms and Policies," indicating changes to the Consumer Terms and Privacy Policy effective on September 28, 2025. The left side of the panel details the changes, including the ability to help improve Claude by allowing the use of your chats and coding sessions to train and improve Anthropic AI models, and the option to change anything in your Exhale settings. It also mentions updates to data retention, extending data retention to 5 years to improve AI models and safety protections. The right side features a simple line drawing of chat bubbles and a document, symbolizing communication and documentation. At the bottom, there are two buttons: "Accept" in a black box and "Not now" in a white box, with a link to learn more and read the Consumer Terms and Privacy Policy.

@cobalt123 but also, at 23? You can afford to not care about these things for a bit. Glad she's living with friends to enjoy her youth.
in reply to May Likes Toronto

I sure do get that! And I’m glad she’s had about 7 jobs now in 5 years. Yes, she could try jobs out. But she had backup from her parents. Even now, if she completely lost her job she could move back home. If her car was wrecked her parents would help a little on getting a replacement. How many young adults have that backup? I didn’t and most of my friends didn’t.

I am grateful to have had a great variety of jobs and lived in many places and states. I just never thought I’d spend the next 40 years scrambling to get by.

Superficially, this photo of trees shading a path in Inwood Hill Park, is not too different from the last one I posted. Let's see what alt-text @altbot provides.
in reply to (((Baslow)))

The image depicts a serene forest path surrounded by dense greenery. The path is paved and runs through a forested area, flanked by tall trees with lush foliage. The sunlight filters through the canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Fallen leaves and branches are scattered along the path, adding to the natural ambiance. A large tree with a thick trunk stands prominently on the right side of the path, its branches extending outward. The scene is tranquil and inviting, with a sense of depth created by the path leading into the distance.

Heartburn relief ≠ risk-free. Long-term PPIs(Prilosec, Prevacid, Protonix, Nexium) tied to kidney disease, fractures, infections, nutrient loss… and cancers (gastric, liver, pancreatic, colorectal). And 25–70% of prescriptions may not be truly needed… #press

Why would a robot's only job be to monitor a bonsai tree? 🤯

In a world of complex tech, this robot had a single, surprising purpose: to meticulously observe a plant's growth in 3D. This bizarre and fascinating project from the 1990s proves that the most advanced technology can be built for the most unexpected reasons.

Wo ist denn da der Dom? Ich sehe gar keine Achterbahnen, Riesenräder und Co.


Vanochtend vroeg een hevig gefladder in mijn tuin. Ik sloeg er geen acht op. Er zitten zo vaak vogels in de bomen. Na een minuut of 15 liep ik de tuin in en voor m'n neus verorberde een roofvogel een duif. Gelijk m'n camera gepakt, 200mm lens er op en foto's maken maar ... / Early this morning, there was a lot of fluttering in my garden. I didn't pay any attention. Birds are often in the trees. After about 15 minutes, I walked into the garden and a bird of prey devoured a pigeon right in front of me. I immediately grabbed my camera, attached a 200mm lens, and started taking pictures... / Heute früh hörte ich ein lautes Flattern in meinem Garten. Ich achtete nicht darauf. Vögel sitzen oft in den Bäumen. Nach etwa 15 Minuten ging ich in den Garten und ein Raubvogel fraß direkt vor meinen Augen eine Taube. Ich schnappte mir sofort meine Kamera, setzte ein 200-mm-Objektiv auf und begann zu fotografieren...

LEGO Set 75407: Star Wars logo. This was a fun set to build. I appreciate the greebling (texture details) in the black negative space between the letters. My Coop (grocery store) has these for 50% off. Thinking of picking up another for the black and yellow parts for Blacktron builds.

@stefanpauwels LEGO Space has been cool since 1978! But as an adult I discovered the old Blacktron sets and they are favorites of mine.
in reply to Mark Pospesel

this is the last set I built myself, it *was* fun, chunkier than I expected. 50% off is a deal!

We encourge users to switch to a client that supports mirrors, like the official Client or Basic. The only other client that can use mirrors is Neo Store, but make sure you select "mirror rotation" in repo settings.

Ok, I will try. I switched to Droidify, because it is fast.

Das Bild zeigt eine Zeitungsseite mit dem Titel "Höcke soll Kirmes-Chef werden". Der Artikel behandelt die Rolle der AfD in Vereinen und wird von Fabian Klaus geschrieben. Es wird erwähnt, dass Björn Höcke (AfD) für die Organisation der Kirmes in Bornhagen im kommenden Jahr vorgesehen ist. Ein Foto zeigt Björn Höcke neben einem blauen Auto, während er von einer Gruppe von Menschen umgeben ist. Der Artikel erwähnt auch die Bedenken der Gemeinde Bornhagen bezüglich der AfD und ihre Rolle in Vereinen. Es wird erwähnt, dass die AfD in Thüringen in Vereinen Fuß fasst und die Bedeutung von Selbstorganisationskräften der Vereinsstrukturen hervorgehoben wird. Ein QR-Code und ein Hinweis auf den Podcast "Vereinnahmt" sind am unteren Rand der Seite zu sehen.

Yesterday we had summer weather in San Francisco. It was warm, there was barely any wind and no fog. It was the perfect day to take Letty to her first beach walk. She got a bit scared when the waves approached her but she kept walking anyways. Sadly, she has been getting more reactive to dogs, so we need to find profesional help us understand how to help her overcome that fear. #DogsOfMastodon

Ugh. Why is Mailchimp's standard HTML so terrible?
Why use so many tables inside of tables for something where there is not even a need for tables?

And it stuffs your mails with unnecessary spans inside of divs. And so much repeated elements. So much clutter...

in reply to StoryDragon, Cursed by the Calculator

there used to be an issue, I don't know if there still is, with HTML mail clients not adhering to the HTML standards as well as others. And not supporting in their clients things that are supported in other clients. Outlook was a good example of this

So HTML mail templates tended to cover all bases by using tables and divs and created a whole mess, just to get different mail clients to render the spam mail correctly in each of the clients
