Föderation EN Fr 01.09.2023 13:12:24 @feditips FWIW I do think a lot of sighted users do use the alt text as well. Images are sometimes deleted from caches on instances. In addition there are extentions and tools built into browsers (including Vivaldi) to prevent loading of images for various reasons. Here is my earlier post, which interestingly shows the entire alt text even though the toltip did not.

Föderation EN Fr 01.09.2023 13:15:54 @feditips I also sometimes use @ihabunek's wonderful Toot TUI masto client from the terminal and appreciate the alt text greatly myself. Here is my older post as an example

Föderation EN Fr 01.09.2023 13:27:32 A side note @feditips since you write masto tips. Toot is really nice for automating posting from scripts. My @browserversiontracker and @vivaldiversiontracker are basically just short shell scripts powered by cURL to fetch information and Toot to post it. With tools like these doing the heavy lifting simple info posting masto bots are pretty straightforward if you have basic command line skils. You have probably written about these things before but I mention it nonetheless. 🤷🏼 |

Föderation EN Fr 01.09.2023 13:42:48 @ruari @browserversiontracker @vivaldiversiontracker @ihabunek I've mentioned Toot as a command line app, didn't know about the script side of things. Thanks! 🙏 |

Föderation EN Fr 01.09.2023 13:46:31 @feditips Well it just makes the posting part really simple as you can just pipe text into it from the command line. Here is a small excerpt from the shell script that posts the @vivaldiversiontracker information.

Föderation EN Fr 01.09.2023 14:27:48 @feditips My "bots" (actually just automated posting) are tiny shell scripts run as cron jobs. At set intervals they use cURL to fetch information from the web, extract key values with tools like sed and grep and then post with Toot (if those values have changed since last time). I know it is not for everyone but the barrier for entry is fairly low if someone is at all command line savvy. |

Föderation EN Fr 01.09.2023 14:31:21 Do you have a post about this somewhere I could link to? 😃 |
|
Föderation EN Fr 01.09.2023 14:33:31 @feditips I guess I could write a short blog post about it with maybe an example script. |
|
Föderation EN Fr 01.09.2023 14:37:36 @feditips I can tweak this old script that I used to use on my watch account that posted hourly updates of the time in binary as Christmas trees (lit and unlit). Make it into something more useful and embed it in a blog post https://gist.github.com/ruario/dcbb5a42df8590cb9bf61e846bba393e |

Föderation EN Fr 01.09.2023 14:39:23 Hahaha, I knew you would bring unusual watches into it 😁 Even a quick blog post summarising what you've posted in this thread would do! |

Föderation EN Fr 01.09.2023 14:40:06 @feditips I mean it was that or unicycles…right!? 😆 |

Föderation EN Fr 01.09.2023 13:10:39 Tried to have a look if this issue had been raised before, apparently longdesc is deprecated? |

Föderation EN Fr 01.09.2023 13:14:53 @feditips @ruari Just be aware that there are still a lot of images not loading, often because of broken image URLs as a result of moving servers, or someone "cleaning up" a media library - deleting photos. Or javascript used to load, but the javascript is broken. Or a poor mobile connection. The list goes on… The size cropping issue is dependent on how responsive the CSS is. |
