   @hj that person obviously only "cares about blind people" so they can hold moral high ground while they recreationally attack you and others, but it is true that dumping a sha256 hash into the alt text is a problem for blind people. it's just gonna read that crap for a minute and a half while the person waits.

     @Moon IIRC screenreaders do have "skip" function, or at least good ones do.

     @hj that is true but all these little nuisances add up quick while using a screen reader.

     @nukie @hj I've seen at least three but we're not connected. I did accessibility programming for about six years so it's something I actually care about and have some technical knowledge of beyond just harassing people to add alt text on fediverse dot net

     @hj the quality of screen readers is an issue too, I am not up to date but the good ones are all proprietary and very expensive

     @hj I appreciate though that you said you wanted to fix it just issue of time and current skill level. we're all there with you

     @a1ba @Moon i am aware of that. That's why it should be user-controllable and that's partially why it's taking so long.

     @hj @Moon also filenames might give potentially private info, like photos can easily have timestamp in the filename, even if you disabled EXIF metadata in the camera settings.
     
     It's the reason why I added the feature to anonymize filenames in Husky back when I was maintaining it.

     @hj @Moon don't see any much reason saving filenames tbh, considering it won't show up in the search anyway.

     @gentoobro @Moon we can still try to make it accessible, it helps, but it's not worth making fuss about and prosecuting people over

     @Moon @hj Hot take: maybe we shouldn't fret too much about widespread support for the 0.5% (WHO estimate) of people who will never be able to use computers properly and productively anyway. Sucks to be blind, but that's life sometimes.
     
     As you say, it's all virtue signaling.
