@Moosader Definitely would love to see this improved. I don't think it's a coincidence that people who use phanpy.social have on average higher use of alt text compared to other clients. stefanbohacek.com/blog/impact-of-fe…

When @lweiss.bsky.social and I were planning our recent trip to southern Spain, I had one top priority for our time in Seville, and now I can reveal that we accomplished it.

Two nearly identical photos each show a man and a woman standing in the same spot at Seville's Plaza de España. In the bottom photo, the Star Wars characters Padme Amidala and Anakin Skywalker walk on either side of the droid R2-D2. In the top photo, which is meant to mimic the bottom photo, a woman wearing a black shirt and a man wearing a gray shirt walk on either side of a black and white Sheepadoodle that has been digitally inserted into the photo.

Every now and then I like to remind people that one way to respond to the lack of alt text on images on here is to politely suggest text that can be copied. You never know if the person posting the image is dealing with physical or other challenges preventing them from writing the alt text. And […]

A screenshot from the linked website showing cartoon-style people spread across a map.

Two of the cartoon people have a speech bubble next to them.

Person 1, in the center: "The people you see here answered these questions as part of a 2017 research project. More than 10,000 people shared their happy moments."
Person 2, off to the side, labeled as a 28 year old single woman from the United States without children: "My co-worker told me a funny story, which led to more funny stories from other co-workers."

Good morning

Unattributed meme. A nine-square alignment chart, featuring signs.
Going left to right, and then top to bottom:
Done with this shit / I have questions : sign riveted into a tree in a forest reads "Your GPS is wrong turn around"

Done with this shit / Disturbingly specific: sign reads "128 persons have drowned in this lake. 2 wearing a life jacket. 126 not wearing a life jacket."

Done with this shit / Vivid: sign reads "Danger, not only will this kill you it will hurt the whole time you're dying"

Ominous / I have questions: sign reads, " if you can read this you're in range"

Ominous / Disturbingly specific: sign reads "Warning! Evacuate the island if you hear 8 short blasts"

Ominous / Vivid: sign showing a palm tree and three people being chased by flying black circles, reads "Beware falling coconuts"

Do not test the gods / I have questions: sign reads, "if elevator does not move do a small jump it should move after"

Do not test the gods / Disturbingly specific: sign reads "road may be subject to sudden catastrophic sinkhole collapse"

Do not test the gods / vivid: sign crushed by falling rock reads "Falling rock"
