@adbenitez @jensorensen yeah, great, let's throw blind people under the bus for this great joke. 🤡
@wurzelmann @adbenitez @jensorensen I honestly don't really understand why everyone here takes alt texts so deep. There are already technical tools available to allow the few affected persons to participate in society. And yes, to be honest... in this case AI would be a great help. Of course, rather supporting algorithms than LLMs, but still.
@DerJemand @adbenitez @jensorensen
1) because it's a really shitty thing to say "Oh I don't care, use technology" especially when not everyone has access to that and it does not work great.
2) show some empathy and write alt text, it is not hard and is a great help for everyone, not just "a few affected persons" 🙄
Exactly. Saying "There are already technical tools available to allow the few affected persons to participate in society" is such a wrong-headed take, and also ignores the fact that the main tools used by a vast majority of affected persons rely on alt text - it's literally part of the solution.
And "few affected persons" is bollocks as well. "Few" statistically perhaps, but nonetheless numbering in the millions.
@imalcolm realize that not every post out there have to target everyone, the post is also in English only, what about the millions of people that don't speak English??? why was no translation provided???
@jensorensen I've never seen a more accurate image of Ronald Reagan
