#Chat Anyone? / Audio #Conversation welcome.

Let's audio chat now and #talk about anything you want (whole day open).

#Jitsi #Chat is used (a basic version of Zoom, non-commercial. open source, all good)

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

For Anti- #ISRAEL intentions OR FOR ANY PRODUCT, A #STRIKE 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.

(APPLIES TO ALMOST ALL PEOPLE)

-capitalist or bourgeois or poor
(all very similar)

#war #tax #taxes on #food #etc
#protest #boycott #banks

#FreePalestine quote and higher public levels of #intelligence ...

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

#FreeSchool 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 #war) ,

#Responsible #Humans #Needed not just for #Gaza

ℹ️ #ALTTEXT 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 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 #Fediverse).

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

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 #Blind people, the benefits are:

Adding #AltText hashtag to posts helps because there are people actively following #AltText 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 #care 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 #AltText 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 #CreativeCommons 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

#CreativeCommons or #CC is great. More info here:
https://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 / #Disabled (not sure of this one)
Sighted / Less sighted users
#Accessible / Less #Accessible users ?
#Accessibility 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 #readers and #accessibility tools if I add CW / Read more box to text? (#question)

THANK YOU TO ALL READING

7 ℹ️ THE PICTURE ATTACHED...
The picture in this post was originally posted by Ambivalena @ambivalena post here: https://pixelfed.global/p/ambivalena/869884814199224176

I edited this picture add why it's a good example of #AltText (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 #AltText #hashtags to my picture posts and re-doing some as I go along since people actually care !

Happy to hear / collect more considerations about #Readers #Braille #Disability #Ability etc.. 💜🥰

I know #Kneecap music is goo
I know #ConorMcGregor might be #Ireland'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 #echelon... 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...

Ignorance is preferable to error
- Thomas Jefferson #Quote

(but I'd rather be wrong and adjust / correct).

Cheap, Fast, and Good: (Choose only 2)

I think these words may not match but it serves well as food for thought...

Speed and Quality can come at a price, so it's difficult if doing anything will meaning and complexity.

Skilled labour is a cost etc. For just you might be ok, but when it comes to serving and maintaining servuce for others it's not always something you can fix all by yourself (though ideally I think this would be good).

Appropriate Proper Reasonable

An "End of life" or Outro pic to life... maybe mine.

This seemed like a good picture to die to / say goodbye / fade etc.

Add yours here in reply if you want...

It's kinda warm, sets the scene, kinda doesn't say much (which bugs me!) but the end-of-episode type of screenshot seems to override saying anything political / personal. Maybe because "IT'S THE #SUN!" and that's always good and perhaps political enough as a warm glow that looks after things...
