This is exactly what they told me on my first day at that job where I had to kill all those parrots, and it really helped.

Big, BIG news on the accessibility front. FTC orders an overlay company, AccessiBe, to pay US$1 million for false advertising. techcrunch.com/2025/01/03/f... Not over - there's a 30 day public comment period. But it's apparently likely to stick. Awesome news!

Im seeing conspiracy theories about the Meta AI bots. A few points: these profiles date back to 2023 & haven’t posted since early 2024. They had low engagement before this week. And it seems possible they were kinda abandoned bc they flopped like other Meta AI bots! www.theverge.com/2025/1/3/243...

Meta’s AI-generated bot profiles are not being received well

Using Image Describer for alt text when posting content 😎
030
Cameron Cundiff @ckundo.bsky.social · 31/12/2024
had an epiphany: good image descriptions need context to be helpful. So the description changes depending on the site, editorial tone, the surrounding text and other content. I set up Image Describer Chrome extension to do this, and its working well.
Screenshot of the New York Times homepage in Chrome browser, with a side panel open for the Image Describer extension, and a (correct) description:

> A black and white photograph shows a smiling Jimmy Carter standing next to a young Joe Biden. The image accompanies an article on the New York Times website.The same image of Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden from a news article published in 2023:

> A black and white image shows former president Jimmy Carter standing next to Joe Biden, who is holding up some papers. The article is about Carter asking Biden to deliver his eulogy.

Friends, I still get requests for #accessibility consultations. I'm not currently taking any consultation work, and I love to give recommendations for independent consultants when clients ask for them. If you're an independent #a11y consultant, please reply below so I can add you to the list!

Wow! Loving our Spotify Wrapped this year. Such great songs... #SpotifyWrapped
A fake Spotify Wrapped screenshot using a bright yellow design from this year's roundup. The songs spell out "Please please please apply alt text to your Wrapped." The songs used are Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter, Apply by Glasser, Alt by Paysage d'Hiver, Text by Chief Keef, To Your by Momajay and Wrapped by George Strait. Each song is accompanied by album artwork.

Does using someone's muted word in alt text mute the post for them? Or just the post contents? 🤔
