I know everyone's talking about #StableDiffusion at the moment but the OG #AI #art nonsense-generator, #DeepDream, still has much to offer.

I give you "A photograph of a 1980s car radio soft toy".

Friends migrating over from Twitter, I implore you: *please* use alt text on your images.

I have a number of visually impaired and blind followers. I will not boost posts with images unless you include alt text. This is an accessibility norm I really appreciate here!

If you want to better understand this, I encourage you to try out a screenreader sometime. I've used one on and off recently to support myself through brain fog: https://toot.cat/@ehashman/109123017505762160

That was actually a really good experience, and I'm really glad that assistive tech has come this far and become this ubiquitous, but it also left a lot to be desired. New acceptance test idea: to say your app is accessible, you must first navigate through it with a screenreader.

Testing Sengi. The old-skool Tweetdeck vibe is strong...
Quietly confident that "Mastodetiquette" will catch on. Yup. Anyway.
Mastodetiquette seems to suggest I introduce myself, so... By day I'm a figure skating music editor @skatingmusicguy, in my spare time I make #hauntology #electronicmusic using #folkinstruments #kantele #xaphoon #saxophone #analoguesynths #modularsynth #Lyricon #oscillators #vintagemusicalinstruments #bitsofoldrubbish and #randomitemsIfoundinaskip. My album #TheDarkIsRising (radiophonic 1970s-ish soundtrack to the #SusanCooper book) came out on #cassette 2018, digital 2019, and on vinyl v soon!
How do.
