You know if you block something you aren’t interested in you don’t even have to scroll past it, right?

Alt-text descriptions should clearly convey both the content and the meaning of the image, and should aim to use as few words as needed. Describe what’s essential to understanding (and enjoying!) the intent of the posted photo — you don’t need to add in a sentence for every visual element, but should include as much as you need to create an accurate portrayal of the image. Cut out unnecessary words and combine separate sentences as much as possible. One to two sentences is usually more than enough room to describe what’s going on.

As mentioned before, these photos convey information to the people scrolling your page, even if you are just posting them to brighten up your feed. They have a purpose, and for that reason, alt text should focus more on the image’s meaning than its aesthetics. This means you’re not focused only on what the object in the photo looks like, but what it is and why it was posted.

I was hoping to see a format that people can easily follow and just fill in the blanks, but I suppose this is the gist of it: Describe the main purpose of the photo succinctly rather than each and every individual thing you can see.

Blasting music/videos on their shitty phone speaker in public. If you really don’t have headphones, at least turn it down or hold the speaker closer to your ear so you’re not just annoying everyone in a 10-meter radius.

Ravaging to the constitution, indeed. I’ve already fainted thrice just since reading the headline!

Nice trick with the bell pepper, I may have to copy that

Nowadays I just use the library whenever I need to print something. Most charge like 10 cents per page but some will let you print for free.

I think the egg is supposed to be boiled, but the rest looks great

This is effectively making him pay for it, quite literally, for the rest of his life. Imo that sounds like a more severe punishment than if he were actually rich enough to pay all at once and just end it early.

Out of all the most prominent streaming services, Hulu has the most content I’d actually watch. Unfortunately, they still show ads in their cheaper paid subscription, which is a deal-breaker for me.

Of course. In fact, the most addictive kind is sparkling water

It’s great. I get all of the access to the Fediverse without really any of the connectivity issues I experienced on my lemmy.world account

Dry goods that don’t need to be prepared. Things like crackers and beef jerky are reliable choices.

One of the coolest experiences of my life was flying back to Portland from Chicago at night. Somewhere along the way, I looked out the window and off in the distance I noticed a lightning storm over a town. It was surreal how much lower the storm was than we were flying, and watching the lightning bolts branch out from the clouds to spread all over the place was just incredible.

I don’t fly often, so maybe that’s more common than I realize, but I thought it was pretty awesome.

Unless you called “spot check” that’s fair game

Joy Teryaki is the restaurant name. Although it’s more of a chain-style restaurant it’s still great

Yup, this is exactly what it is. We have them in Oregon too

Some drugs are bad. Not these drugs tho, these drugs are good.

This bundle soon to be available in the Casting Coup model

The island includes emergency sirens intended to warn of natural disasters and other threats, but they did not appear to have sounded during the fire.

Holy shit. This is just tragic. Who knows how many lives could have been saved if they’d had a proper warning?

They fit, therefore they must be able to sit. It’s like a law of nature or something
