@kenney

so you want to turn call of duty into a wireframe shooter?
@kura What.

@kenney probably a joke in reference to apparent genAI use in recent Call of Duty's assets.

@kura

@kenney @dside just that.

sorry if it cone over wrong.

@kura the instance I'm on has a bunch of lovely tone indicators such as    and others for situations like this; I'm not even sure where *we* got those from (don't know whom to credit), but the concept of tone indicators is generally pretty widespread, and emojos having their full meaning baked in (into shortcodes and consequently tooltips) has been a brilliant way to provide "explanation on demand" without inconveniencing readers much

@kenney

@dside @kenney problem with tone indicators: i do not know them. and often dont understand them without looking them up.

from those three i know /j, i can imagine /hyp to be hyper, but whatever hj is, i do not know.

so for me personally they do the opposite of helping (unless its /s or /j)

@kura that's precisely the problem the emojo format attempts to fix; its shortcode explains what it is (though not all clients make it easy to see them, on desktop web hovering usually helps, but mobile often seems to have nothing?..)

I suppose one would have to previously encounter an unrecognizable emojo to have an inkling to look at its shortcode, which is, admittedly, another random prerequisite and a problem 

@kenney

@dside
(took oput kenney because its rather offtopic now)

I rarely look at the text emoji formats.
an emoji should be self descriptive IMO.

Also at work I usually only have mobile fedi available, and as you already noticed, shortcode lookup on mobile is paiful at best. :)
@kura Nooo no worries at all, just didn't understand <3
@dside @kura OOOH I wasn't aware, sorry hah!
@kenney @kura I think it's a joke about how CoD would have to disable all game assets if it was to hide everything AI from the game

@kenney
Words have meanings.

Hide: They are still running in the background, you just don't see them.
Block (Mozilla): Like an ad blocker, takes out some parts, but needs to be updated constantly because they keep trying to sneak it past the block.
Disable: It's still installed, waiting for you to absentmindedly click the wrong option, or install the next update.
Uninstall: It was installed without your consent (we used to call that malware), but at least you can remove it.
Not installed: The correct way of giving the user choice.

@kenney if you're posting on mastodon don't forget to add alt text for the majority of us. Thanks! 🙇‍♂️
@konstruct I understand, but I don't have time to do so - sorry
@kenney replacement alt : a grey toggle button labeled "Hide all AI features"
It took me 30 seconds to make that.
@konstruct Thanks but I'd need to do that for every post I make, across every social media - no bueno.

@kenney you don't have to redo it for each platform, just write and copy-paste.

If you really can't bother to spend those minutes to be accessible, just content warn posts without alt text, that's two words and a single additional click for "no alt" in the cw, that's like half a second, I'm sure you have half a second to spare if you're spending time replying to comments

@konstruct It's actually hard to copy-paste because each platform has their own way of dealing with them. Please just accept "no"
@kenney content warn it then. That's basically no effort at all. Just one click and 2 words. Even opening youtube.com requires more effort than that.

@kenney @konstruct

No alt text = blocked.
Bye!

@kenney @konstruct Oh wow... I'm quite disapointed at this. :(

Mind you, it's better to not add alt text to a picture than put something like "picture" but it's better to put "don't forget to add a checkbox to deactivate those ai features" in your fucking TEXT than add a picture with no alt text.

@kenney
If you don't, you can still add #alt4me and someone will answer with a text that you just add by editing your message.

Would you have time for that ?
@konstruct

@kenney Those features should not be included into core product at all. They must be a separate DLC/add-on, which is downloaded and installed separately.

@kenney

I want disable at the router.
