Please don't do this.
Omitting alt text from art is like art galleries / museums removing ramps because they make it easier for thieves. Let's not exclude those who depend on them for access.

I ordered a car stereo from the Chinese site (sent from Poland because EU). Pray for my sanity.

@annaecook Seems a bit risky as well, if the answer is determined by whatever made the "art". It hardly knows if what it made is perceived as intended.
Count the fingers and all that.

Earlier this week I highlighted a few positive recent examples of disability representation in games.

It's really cool to see, and see it received well. It gives hope for a future without scary rickety wheelchairs in horror games, but with empowered characters with mobility aids, prosthetics, and medical devices.

Positive disability representation of recent weeks - Can I Play That?

The last few weeks have seen several games adding or featuring elements with positive disability representation.

Can I Play That?

Just found this old thing in a drawer, from early high school (mid-90's). Still works on what is most likely the original battery.

@matuzo As someone who is used to providing simple and portable solutions for simple use cases: I'd make a protected admin page with a simple form that just saves the static html for the gigs page (and a file with the list for the admin page to populate the form).

No dependencies other than basic PHP or whatever is used, and no bloat for visitors.

Wow, it's 2023 and my iPhone finally learned how to automatically update apps.

@matuzo imagine if those framework folks invested the same energy in learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript... they might even make something useful!
