I'm going to continue to remind folks to add alt-text that is descriptive text to their art,photos, graphics. It really does not have to be much in fact too much description is worse. I'll let the experts fill in what is good but for now just add *something*. Many of us choose not to boost posts with graphics with no descriptions.How to Add Alt Text to Photos:It depends slightly on the platform you use, but when you're composing a post and go to attach an image, you'll see a small line superimposed on the bottomof the image that says: "No description added."You can then click on that message to add a description of the image thatexplains what's in it. Doing so benefits blind people using screen readers. If you don't add an alt-text expect fewer boosts!#Mastodon #Introduction

@mjg59 So many problems could be solved by nationalising the "last mile" at the very least.

@noself @rmkelly @philosophy Physics with the ER = EPR conjecture does give more credence to the "Spooky action at a distance" that disturbed Einstein. Hence realism. Nevertheless I also believe violence or crime are irrational mental disorders.As I noted on #Philosophy earlier even crows take revenge and it seems to me we should be beyond that now. Even Schadenfreude is distasteful to me. Dangerous people should be kept away from others for our good not to satisfy a blood thirsty primitive revenge.

I wonder if the universe would have a quantum collapse or something if a stormtrooper from star wars met a star trek red shirt.#StarTrek #StarWars #SF #SciFi

@KimPerales N95 rather than cloth masks makes a difference as well.

@seldo Less echo chamber for sure. On commercial social media we are not the customer we are the product. Their algorithms are set to sell product not help people.

I like to point out to people often that none of us are immune to Propaganda. Moreover, Propaganda is not just a wartime thing, it goes on today as "Public Relations" "Advertising" and "Disinformation". I agree with Ellul with his comment: ""Of course we shall not be victims of propaganda because we are capable of distinguishing truth from falsehood." Anyone holding that conviction is extremely susceptible to propaganda, because when propaganda does tell the truth," he is then convinced it is no longer propaganda; moreover his self-confidence makes him all the more vulnerable to attacks of which he is unaware."#Philosophy #Propaganda

@qdot And maintaining libs is just so much work so you wouldn't want to own the libs anyway.
