@nickdenardis updated his browser extension "Social Visual Alt Text" to add Bluesky support.

I install this addon whenever I can to quickly see what alt text people have written on Mastodon.

Go get it for Firefox or Chrome: https://github.com/nickdenardis/social-visual-alt-text

Testing multiple line alt text attributes
Re: https://github.com/nickdenardis/social-visual-alt-text/issues/40
Line breaks in alt text are not rendered · Issue #40 · nickdenardis/social-visual-alt-text

If the alt attribute contains a line feed character, this should be converted to <br> when displaying the text. Otherwise, alt text consisting of multiple lines or paragraphs separated by line feed...

“It is essential that web sites selling show tickets become accessible to all as blind people like me enjoy music, comedy, theatre and other live events but are often prevented from purchasing tickets as the web sites do not work properly with their access technology and are left out of live entertainment.” - Chris Hofstader

This is why we're creating Eventably. But we need your support.

Literally everyone we have met in #Detroit this week has been cool as hell. I've had so many long conversations with complete strangers about all sorts of stuff (incl electronic music!), and generally have really loved getting to hang out here for the last few days.

We need more calm companies.

We need more calm companies

Calm companies are profitable, value freedom, have a purpose, and improve the team's lives. Frenzied companies are crisis-driven.

Don't write generic descriptions for alt text. "Screenshot of a news article" might technically describe an image, but it does nothing to convey the information or context sighted users get from the image. People who can't see the image need the same information and context.
