FreeSchool=Co-op🔁Friendship?

@siblingpastry @masukomi @Binder Yes if you look at the sentence as two words.

I think it also crosses itself from 'who' made the design (as the authority perhaps) or overall determining factor to the project which then makes "design constraints" as a way of limiting such project or being limited in scope deliberately (even to not solve everything).

Also how much you can spend, how big it can be, what it's made for (and not made for) can be part of the meta design. which can also be seen as 1 term and not two words seen as contradicting. Similar to saying 'design requirements / considerations / limitations / project scope.'

@siblingpastry This level of explaining I admire and see possible in all areas of life not just code.

Since you just commented on my post in similar way (about definitions or words used for different types of and ) I think this style of writign is part of the successes we need, in daily life / work !
Wonderful!

#AltText helps everyone - here's why / how: 

@siblingpastry @BlindQuilter @ambivalena Indeed a lot to work on (including giving less excuses to people and even doing the work so well there is almost no doubt).

So I welcome anyone to power through all that ambiguity and let's start somewhere until we have nothing else to do about it! ☀️

#AltText helps everyone - here's why / how: 

@siblingpastry @BlindQuilter @ambivalena All very good stuff in reply thanks!

Replying to this 3rd reply - I was a bit surprised by the sentence about:
"benefits everyone" can be counter-productive, because it dilutes the importance of accessibility to the status of user preference.

Can see that but I think I was consciously posting to everyone to link the learning to both / many types since mostly those who don't need AltText will be the ones we need to consider changing to these practices not those that do it because they need.

Maybe the equality does make any 1 user group stand out less but not sure it dilutes it at a 'counter-productive' level that much... but yes it's spread focus so I agree and I will think more to see if how far that's damaging.

It was an all-in-1 type message which maybe people can work on or skip through, so appreciate you did that so quickly.

Would love to work with you on more like this but not pushing it unless you have the continuous passion beyond feeling of what an offer like this means and just talk more to find out! (audio chat fine with me too).

@jupiter_rowland What if there are some explanations in main text and AltText?

Seems only terrible if you rely on _only_ AltText which I think nobody does.

Good to see more from other of users...

Human conditioning has become #money only... so cutting off money and not buying gets attention in war... (boycotts) 

in that way of not giving money are one way to protest. Because it gives less money and therefore less eventually to (all is taxed and goes to state eventually).

For Anti- intentions OR FOR ANY PRODUCT, A MAKES THE HEADS OF MANAGEMENT SUDDENLY TAKE NOTICE...

It's also a result of people - Modern day people - who only understand and measure what hits them in their wallet and can't really consider change in other ways.

#FreePalestine quote and public levels of #intelligence (my opinion)... 

quote and higher public levels of ...

" People are fine with "Save the " as long as it doesn't actually threaten , but speaking out against is a bridge too far, apparently. "

by @daraghhayes @daraghhayes

comment and picture below:

General level of public people is so bad right now (and maybe always was) and shirks so much responsibility it is like handing life on a plate on all levels (not just ) ,

not just for

ℹ️ for pic below (or can skip reading the rest):

Title says: "Here take it all - As long as I sit here and do nothing. Here, take it as much as you want"

This is said by a perceived average Human Consumer :nes_fire: towards those so-called leaders just extracting from the planet (and it's people).

There is a butler style silver tray under the title with the earth damaged and broken served on top (I drew this as people seem to let Earth get to this and not defend their habitat or own rights). This post exists as the level of intelligence or willpower to fight or make friends I see and hear is too low and main problem in life is to solve that and make friends / help out (which is why I'm on ).

(ironically I couldn't apply the AltText due to some server issue currently so I'll retry / re-post later)

Ms. Que Banh

@greenpeace Please get a volunteer to help your social media team add essential, accessible #AltText to all your posts with graphics involved. Majority of folks won't boost content with images that have no AltText added. Do better. I know you have enough volunteers to do much better on this.

@jonlord I'm looking at AltText at the moment and how people do things...
Do you manually add text to the pictures?

I see this didn't mention which building it is in the usual post text so maybe I'm being picky on that but still was good it was in the AltText.

Wonder how you do so many great pictures using AltText as it seems a lot of work?

FreeSchool=Co-op🔁Friendship?

#AltText helps everyone - here's why / how: 

A number of points shown using arrows as a big list below:

Benefits to use AltText for all types of users.

Points use these arrows ➡️ which might make it easier to read or skip this longer list of reasons and questions I have below (aimed at sighted or other users to all chip in about):

1 ➡️ For people, the benefits are:

Adding hashtag to posts helps because there are people actively following itself daily as a hashtag. People enjoy using it to read more posts WITH text description of pictures. Those without text aren't going to be read by this audience. So I'm happy there are people we can about.

When descriptions are added it helps signify to those clicking or using tools they can enjoy this content in their feed and is more more suited to them.

2 ➡️ For Sighted people, the benefits are:

When I save your pictures, the AltText helps me copy and paste that description of where, what, who it came from. Sometimes I add your name to revisit your account later or give ideas. It helps come back to talk to you or those that have great flower pictures constantly to look at their account.

So overall helps the able and less able to understand and be reminded about your work and even keep in touch.

3 ➡️ About Creative Commons for pictures (can skip this section)

For those that want to add copyright license e.g. CC-BY-SA-NC etc it can easily write that to help stop big companies using your data (could also put this in your bio to cover it all to avoid copying and pasting as it can be a lot of work),

Add your attribution credits to the AltText (or bio) and show the level of sharing you're ok with.

For example "CC-BY-SA-NC" means it's:
Creative Copyright material
- Attribution needed
- Share-Alike (content can be shared in same way)
- Non-commercial license

or is great. More info here:
CreativeCommons.org/

4 ➡️ I also would like advice about how well I phrased this post:

What do people prefer for example as words:
The blind / non-blind
Able-Bodied / (not sure of this one)
Sighted / Less sighted users
/ Less users ?
sound good like a level of access... but just wanted to hear what others think of these words in the list or big common errors.

This is all new to me but I've been using CamelCase forever and other types of good practices.

Also I'd like advice about presentation of posts...

5 ➡️ When making this post I clicked "CW" to add a Content Warning box even though I didn't need to warn anyone about the content but wanted the one-line compact post because it neatly adds a title bar and "Read more" button to expand the text.

➡️ My question is:
Adding CW doesn't show all the text at once on screen but I was wondering if that makes it harder to access for people trying to 'read' it using other ways?

Does it matter to those trying to use and tools if I add CW / Read more box to text? ()

THANK YOU TO ALL READING

The picture in this post was originally posted by Ambivalena @ambivalena post here: pixelfed.global/p/ambivalena/8

I edited this picture add why it's a good example of (picture is of the moon at dusk and mostly dark shadows and I've added arrows showing AltText and mouse-over description)

8 ℹ️ THANKS AGAIN TO ALL - Hope I did well - a bit long but let me know what I can do to make it better as I can write fast !

I will be personally adding more to my picture posts and re-doing some as I go along since people actually care !

Happy to hear / collect more considerations about etc.. 💜🥰

Not snake case for me because... 

@federico3

The keyboard combination and time needed depending on device - it's a longer keystroke to access and it harder as explained below if you need specifically why:

On a desktop keyboard (not too bad..)
➡️ SHIFT + "-" = _ (underscore)

or on mobiles (much worse)
➡️ Have to change to 2nd keyboard screen to access underscore / usually not in initial visual keyboard at all)

So "_" is a bit more fiddle and uncommon

And finally since hashtags are hyperlinks you often CAN'T SEE _ as the whole is always underlined hiding _ even though there is a slight difference sometimes visually.

isn't terrible but for typing it out maybe is. Visually ok and can get used to seeing the the space in between as an _ there.

#Ireland thoughts (I have no idea) + Many of us have talents or gifts and just need a way to channel them 

I know music is goo
I know might be 's best bet in some way...

So both could be something of a change (could they change things, arguably they have already).

Both have done drugs though (not a fan) but the ability of those kinds of people to be honest or direct in most of their being is needed and seems not to come from elsewhere from other types of people. Perhaps mushrooms would be better / softer for us non-drug types... who might try much weaker forms.

So I'd consider the creative and combative people generally as nicer-guys (with their moments) and maybe the best leaders compared to the terrible existing ones...

I don't claim to know... other than all the bad we see and invest time in because apparently can't even make friends online (I've tried) even towards much of even our own stuff selfishly.

It's like people quit.

We might need to be lead by the terrible because the half-good isn't satisfying enough perhaps so just throw it all away / don't even both try repair it once in a while! 🗑️ 🔥

(and quitting might be a good idea really, but nobody is willing stop living, or kill themselves, and even that might no solve the self-serving stuff going on with those higher positioned above us robbing us).

We have only ourselves, the lower ... I suggest we add whatever we have in the circle and keep giving / taking what we can as many of us have talents or gifts and just need a way to channel them and balance that together...

Intelligence in this context is measured working together and developing others?,,, 

@mc Seems about right what you said... and I was going to ask how intelligence might look in today's world...

Maybe creating something big but even with that seems what clever people lack as character or training in their personality so even those super-programmers etc can't see to involve people who are medium-intelligence or middle-grounds of people / diversity). And so this maybe widens the gap like a people without apprenticeship or apprentices... (electrician teaching a new electrician or even grandparents in the day passing on knowledge).

So I agree. And I'm not sure what would be intelligence without actually working together as that meaning (what do you think of that)...

I can imagine a revolutionary 'new' thing made by people but it would just be wasted intelligence or wasted tool or new toy / new tech code thing we don't really need more than the human stuff... and like the rest happening now the good is just used against ourselves or to distract us eventually...

And this is almost shown by which might still have a big chance if people really make / practicing or what they truly love and liek together while seeing need to incorporate that mass of affinity or friendships (and both sometimes).... Hope that makes sense... The last lines should be clear.

It seems it's a thing, always to kill an enemy together ( keep us productive and busy) and then end up fighting each other when that's done or as separate states/countries. Just never enough...

Even though I do think 'switching' the brain totally to what we love and like can keep us focused and less out of trouble for everyone so enough things are made with love / care etc, rather than diss / throw stones at things / hate everything... like even and all these leaders people hate (hundred on those hashtags... but what of building their own group or schools of thought for themselves to work and own culture.... besides hating... Hm!

Well this is my effort

is my hashtag for my version of 'follow and believe in me'. I think people can be allowed to do most things... and it is measurable but developing on Tech and not people isn't enough at all...

What do you think?

UFC Conor McGregor saying he is running for #president of Ireland 

@humanhorseshoes

It's true that I don't know and assumed some boats or people or some deals would be done considering many countries seems to have deals or increases.
There are more Muslims it seems in Ireland (Wikipedia mentions census), or other ethinic groupings, more than ever... which could come from other places.

So my assumptions aren't quite right. Actually I have no idea so that's why I'm asking those that live there how it is (maybe they don't know either!) but can say how they feel at the least which I don't mind...

And why don't you think back McGregor will get president (if you look at the other crazy people in charge or those that look straight but are not out there?).
