I see many, many errors in Irish language translations these days e.g. books / comics / games. I love seeing side projects and folks practicing translating but it's not great to promote translations that give learners false hope. Creators should be clear that they are just for practice (cont.)

I think one of the keys to real peace and happiness is surrounding yourself with people who speak the same language as you in your weird little brain

I have great news for you if you want to get better about adding alt text but struggle to remember:

Bluesky has a setting where your pics won't post until the alt text has been added

Go to settings > accessibility

Then switch on the toggle for "require alt text before posting"

That's all! 🤗
Loving these nature and astronomy accounts, but PSA: y'all need to add some ALT text to your pretty posts.

Just unskeeted a lovely flower post that had no description. As someone who is low vision myself, and uses larger text, this is a disability issue... it's the right thing to do.

Folks please don’t forget to ALT your images! The more new folks show up here the lower the adoption of ALT is and that’s a bummer cause it means not all Bluesky users can enjoy your images!

Here’s how to turn on prompts to remind you to ALT:

Don't forget to go to every application you use that features artificial integration and review it poorly on its page.
I've done this to:
- Figma
- LinkedIn
- Twitter
- Google (though that's a bit of a titan)

Public reception of artificial content needs to be very apparently negative.

I hate to be that guy, but can we please not do this?

Alt text is a vital accessibility tool for many, you may do this with good intentions but nonetheless it excludes many people. This goes for all other uses of alt text that don’t purely describe the image too.
So I have a work-around for the text limit here.
Just check out the alt-text on this image.

Really disappointed to see how alt text use has dropped off, even with people who have previously been good about it.

I’m not a blind/low vision user, but I use a wheelchair. When something is inaccessible, it’s not just inconvenient, it’s ostracizing. It’s a physical message of unwelcome.

I always bang on about 'get things in-game ASAP'.

Here's a good example from our last project (Röki) where I didn't do that and it bit-me-in-the-bum™ a little.

No, these aren't in-game images or CGI: these are actual photos from the offices of the Star Citizen developers.

Christ knows how much backer money was spent on this.

Alt text is not only good for #inclusion and #accessibility, it helps provide context and discovery!

I can't stress enough how pro-alt-text bluesky is - many users will not interact AT ALL if you don't include it! Do it for yourself if not for others (but do it for others, please).

#disability
PLEASE
USE
ALT
TEXT
for images and gifs so that we can follow, repost, and reply, knowing that it's all accessible.

Bluesky even has a setting that, when toggled on, will not allow you to post an image without alt text. Huge help for me with #brainfog.

Ah, Bluesky. Feels good to sit back and bathe in the good vibes as everyone turns their back on what once was and looks to the future...

I give it two days until we're back to collective degeneracy.
