Only found them by coincidence ;)

1️⃣ In "/settings/preferences/appearance" under "Advanced settings" you can find the option to "Warn me before posting media without alt text"

You can see the error message I see whenever I forget alttext in the second image hehe

2️⃣ When you post an image with text in it, you can simply use the magic AI feature "Add text from image". It usually works very well!

Alt text: "Screenshot of the warning you get with the warning for missing alt enabled. "Add alt text? Your post contains media without alt text. Adding descriptions helps make your content accessible to more people." Below it are 3 buttons "Cancel" "Post anyway" and "Add alt text"

Alt text: "Screenshot of the alt text window, the option "Add text from image" is circled in red.

This is how that "AI" option described the text of the image I posted: "Describe this for people with visual impairments. 1500 Add text from image"

I've been thinking a lot about the Fediverse ALT issue.

Some people are annoyed by posts without Alttext, & others get reminded¹ to add it.

The core question is: How can we improve accessibility?

Proposal: ☑️ Add a user filter to hide media posts without AltTag ☑️ Reduced engagement on hidden posts would encourage adding Alt text ☑️ People who need accessibility wouldn't have to encounter unlabeled media

If this gets traction, I'll open a Mastodon GitHub issue (maybe on others too?).

So I decided to (literally) TEST them!

The result?

...well see the wonders of Telegram AI for yourselves 🤣 🤣 🤣

Just wanted to sign up to Trumps #TruthSocial to post my recent comparison of him Putin and Netanyahu but couldn't.

Guess his "...Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah..." Post broke it?

I don't believe the "site maintenance" for one second!

When faced with domestic/personal political problems, an easy method to sideline & slowly solve them, is to start or escalate #war.

It shifts the public conversation, changes the legal & political environment /interests, eases expanded military action at home, & creates opportunities to reward & align with certain factions (oligarchs, corporations, #military leaders).

Here are my thoughts and analysis on the subject in the shape of a table.

What do you think?

Took me a while to make this :)

Please share if you think this makes sense!

Grumpy cat Quiche wanted to wish a happy #Caturday but couldn't be bothered to get out of bed!

Guess from now on;

many apologies will read like: "Sorry my Asisstant-Intelligence made a mistake!" "Sorry my AI ate my homework!"

and replies like: "That sounds really tough. It's OK to feel sorry - here are 2 options for you to solve..."

Was going through the (partial!) Epstein Files.

This is exactly how convicted child-sex offender Jeffrey #Epstein and his friends wanted their victims to feel, when with them, especially minors! 🤢
