@Roknrol Well, I'm kind of afraid of being sanctioned for alt-texts that lack text transcripts, even if the additional long image description in the post text contains them. I mean, the rule says that text must always be transcribed, and the transcripts must always go into the alt-text. That, and not everyone may want to wade through a long description of 20,000 to 60,000 characters to read the transcripts.

Also, I go as far as transcribing more than 20 individual bits of text within one image, only two of which are actually halfway readable at the given resolution. About a dozen of these bits of text can be found in an area that's five pixels tall and a dozen pixels wide in the image. The individual bits of text are so tiny at this resolution that they're invisible in the image. And yet, I transcribe them because, technically, they're still within the borders of the image.

But as long as you don't say I could and should try harder...

@Roknrol I don't post social media app screenshots.

When I post memes, I only transcribe the pieces of text that are important within the context, but I do transcribe all of them.

I hope it's okay to leave out bits of text that don't matter in this case.

On the other hand, when I post original images, I transcribe every last bit of text within the borders of the image that I can read at the source, regardless of whether it's readable in the image at the resolution at which I'm going to post it.

I hope that's okay, too. And I hope it's okay that these transcripts only go into the long image description in the post text and not into the alt-text where there isn't enough space for them.

Also, I've yet to find a way to correctly transcribe things like text in other languages or text in multiple languages or misspellings, seeing as text must normally be transcribed 100% verbatim.

And I wonder if I can get away with deviating from transcribing 100% verbatim in the cases of all caps, misspellings, multiple paragraphs, quotation marks in the transcribed text and the like.

#ClaudeCode is built to maximize AI development velocity.

People often look for hidden complexity or secret architecture in AI tools. The reality is far more disciplined:
• Async generators
• Well-typed interfaces
• Simple orchestration patterns

The real innovation was deliberately choosing simplicity to move faster.

In this #InfoQ video, Adam Wolff explores the architectural decisions that prioritize speed over complexity - and how this velocity-first approach leads to process–product convergence, where internal workflows evolve into user-facing capabilities.

In tech, we know how to scale systems. But scaling humans? Well … that’s another story.

Even with the right tools and processes, technical teams often struggle to scale behaviorally & culturally.

In this #InfoQ video, Charlotte de Jong Schouwenburg explores why behavioral and cultural scaling is harder than technical scaling - and what leaders and teams can do about it.

It's really beginning to royally piss me off that #YouTube has got rid for the "hide #timestamps" feature of the #Transcript.

I frequently use the transcript to produce pull quotes, and having to manually edit out the timestamps is a fscking PITA.
