@catsalad If I understood correctly, Ken-chan appears to have given up somewhere in 2024 (after eight years). This is one of the latest records of him attempting to get in that I could find: https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/bijutsu1/status/1889447055548096910. Though there is a post from April this year saying that he has been seen at the museum again: https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/kumagaimorikazu/status/1913405663851712993
The museum is still publishing current photos of Go-chan, e.g. https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/bijutsu1/status/1934384088393351572. But these are all from a different setting, so I doubt he still at it either.
@catsalad 2022 is the last reliable mention of them that I can find. The museum keeps selling Ken & Go merchandise, though their 2025 calendar looks like the same photos as 2023. I wonder whether the cats are still at it, it has been 9 years now…
@sarahjamielewis Just so you don’t need to use Web Archive any more: https://github.com/mozilla/legal-docs/commits/main/en/firefox_terms_of_use.md
(The repository for the mozilla.org backend is https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/ and its documentation links to https://github.com/mozilla/legal-docs/ for the source of legal documents)
@Mossop Yep, had the same issue – downloaded a map so that I could get cycling directions, only to realize that the Google Maps won’t do it offline. Quite a PITA.
@dotproto Yes, I know. Schools everywhere in the world teach British English – except for the US.
@dotproto Well, at my school we learned that it is spelled “grey” 🤷♂️
@Mossop The point of not adding alt text to irrelevant images is avoiding noise like “vertical line” being read 100 times. One featured image isn’t a problem.
No need to link image contents to the article in the description btw. – blind people are perfectly capable of figuring that out on their own, just like the sighted people do.
@Mossop Generally, the only images considered irrelevant are the ones existing purely for visual design purposes. I just had a look at your blog, and while the images aren’t terribly important, I’d suggest providing a basic image description. No need for details, just something like “Black and white photograph of a steam train arriving at a station.”
