I love the #videos people share on #mastodon, and I love the fact that they're frequently not just links to #youtube .

I do not love
- No time indication in the web app (am I in for 30 seconds or 30 minutes?)
- No captions
- Posting vague titles like "Wow!" to a video of people talking

I'm hearing disabled so I skip about 95% of the videos I see posted without captions or a description of what's in the video. I know #alttext for videos is probably a ridiculous concept (done by individuals, by hand, anyway), but a brief summary of content or even a solid hint would help; at least I'd have an idea of whether it was worth finding headphones or earbuds, pairing them with the laptop or phone, and investing in that whole process. Without any info, it's rarely worth the effort.

🧵 Oh yeah today is National Microtia Awareness Day! It’s what I was born with (grade 3). That means I was born without an outer ear and have single-sided deafness. So for most of my life, I couldn’t hear in stereo, and had no concept of what that even sounded like.
Here’s where you can make yourself more aware:

Nie wiem jak Wy, ale zauważyłem że YT oraz Google zaczęli generować napisy na żywo w języku polskim.

Niby nic szczególnego, ale dla mnie osobiście to spora i pozytywna niespodzianka.

I am a bit nervous about today’s class. It’s in a theater. Everybody sits wherever they want. It’s going to be so challenging for me to participate in discussions because even with #HearingAids, I am going to miss something or other. Even Otter.ai doesn't pick up everything. So, I can’t even read and know what others are saying.

Roger receivers can help but they are hella expensive.

Ah, roundtables: a group of amazing academics making speech-like sounds with hints of brilliant insights, none of which I will understand unless they also happen to have Broadway-star vocal projection. Sigh.
