Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs. However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

“[…] for me, standing in bright sunshine, a bit over 45 years old and with a mild dyslexia, the text became a gray blur. It was simply too hard to read. Not because the contrast was too low – but because the letters were too thin.” stiftelsenfunka.org/about-us/col...

“An engineer in a first job used to need basic coding abilities: now that same engineer needs to be able to detect vulnerabilities and have the judgment to determine what can be trusted from the AI models.” I think we’ve forgot what entry-level engineer is 🙄 archive.is/202507291237...

I went to the coffee shop (the usual overpriced fancy specialty coffee one) yesterday and wanted to stay for a little while. The barista asked if the baby was asleep. I still wonder what would happen if she wasn’t asleep? I wouldn’t be allowed to stay? First laptops not allowed. Now babies. 🫠
