I love (“love”) how Microsoft has decided the reason no one uses copilot is becuase we just don’t know how great it is, so now when I open Word or Excel I get a bunch of example pop-ups in the corner showing me exiting basic functions I could always do, but now in the form of a question.

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!

An infographic. There are six panels.

1. "Slow internet. Alt text is shown in place of unloaded images." a drawing shows a phone with poor signal, and alt text is visible where the image should have loaded.

2. "Findabillity. Alt text helps to search content." A drawing shows someone searching 'dog with banana' and a post is shown underneath without the words 'dog' or 'banana'. It is implied to be part of the alt text.

3. "Screen readers. Alt is read out to people using text-to-speech software". There is a drawing of the output a screen-reader would show when viewing an image with alt text on bluesky.

4. "Translation. Alt text can be translated". A drawing shows a post being translated. The alt text is also translated into german.

5. "Readability. Text in images can be made legible" There is a drawing of some truly awful handwriting inside a speech bubble. The alt text clarifies what the text is supposed to say.

6. "Disambiguation. Description helps clarify intent." There is a drawing of a post with a picture of a creature. This is styled after the famous optical illusion of a rabbit and a duck. The alt text clarifies that the animal is a rabbit. It definitely looks more like a duck.

Me gusta que en los perros callejeros, tras generaciones de mezclar distintas razas, siempre surge el protoperro, el perro perro, el ideal platónico de perro

Soy el peor ejemplo del mundo porque sigo usando Gmail, pero cada vez que veo que una herramienta de Google se enñorda porque le meten telemetría, publicidad o IA me radicalizo un poco más hacia el software libre.

Me pone muy triste cómo todos estan usando IA generativa para carteles. Incluso la feria del libro anarquista de Bilbao la usó. Si gente que lucha contra el sistema capitalista de raíz usa IA para cualquier chorrada, estamos jodidos.
