wondering if doing a blog here on my minor agricultural endeavours would interest this blue realm I already share them via my Discord Server as "Serenity Sunday" (not necessarily always in a Sunday - but it is when I have the most time to look at my garden and document stuff) could be fun, lemmino

I used to have to manually craft my font then export every character one by one, then adjust all that bearings and kerning... Since the appearance of affontapp , I have been able to cut alot of time of all that devious job to work on many more things!

Happy #Halloween to all! Vortex, Nebula, and Axle all wish you a safe trick or treating tonight and to make sure that your friends' allergies are all accounted for. If anyone gives you a hard time for your allergies, remind them the choice was trick OR treat, and trick has become the inevitable.

Traditional illustration of Howl's Song protagonists. Vortex the Werewolf is dressed up as Sabrewulf from Killer Instinct, and Nebula the Cosmic Siren is dressed up as Black Pearl Cookie from Cookie Run. Axle is "smiling" in the background as they all pose for a picture on the front door porch of the tablet lake cabin. "HAPPY HOWL-O-WEEN" is in orange text.

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.
