@fesshole in 6 months' time, start dropping hints that you think they've gone too commercial/mainstream ... and how you're now really into Taylor Swift

@bruces elon munching these like candy

@bruces *Am I being a prickly cunt when asked to be considerate to blind/visually impaired users? Y/N

the problem with "the left" in one picture: while actual fascist executive orders are being signed live on stage, there's pearl-clutching and handwringing over "so was this an actual nazi salute or not? we'll never know..."

@eff "We applaud Meta's effort" what, and i mean this sincerely, the fuck? you're either embarassingly naive in your take, or you're preemptively kissing the ring of fascism already

@cstross "serial entrepreneur"

@cstross also who self-identifies as "thought leader"

@Gargron @ctietze "everybody else is doing it this way" is not the best excuse. again, to be clear: for accessibility (and general usability), you'd really want to be able to send folks to an HTML destination - it's not about having shareable images, but shareable links

@Gargron @ctietze because yeah, for the most part i'm seeing folks share a screenshot with either *no* alt text, or something generic like "my wrapstodon!" which of course is pointless for screen reader users because it still doesn't give them any of the info actually there.

@Gargron @ctietze war also leider ein kleiner griff ins klo in sachen #accessibility ... sorry

@Gargron @ctietze that's the point: you don't want to share this as an image, you want to share it as a link so that other people can see it (and screen reader users can explore the info directly, rather than relying on individual users trying to add alt text to it that captures all the info there). in short: let users link to their wrapstodon results...

@ctietze oh yeah, was wondering if i'd missed something here... christ, not even a "share" button or something on that thing. no wonder folks are doing the "let me share a screenshot of this thing" bollocks #wrapstodon

@WarnerCrocker freedom juice!

@BethanyBlack @catmachine good times. particularly for lightroom (last "you pay, you own it" version) which i still use to manage my 15,000 or so photos. time to look for a cracked copy of it then just in case i ever need to reinstall it

@adam reminded me of a similar observation i made back in 2015 about playmobil...
