I know some fediverse apps use various text/image detection technologies, so I was curious if this encourages the use of alt text.

The main thing I learned: Out of nearly 30,000 fediverse posts I looked at, almost 80% did not have information about the client app.

That was a bit surprising. And it makes doing this sort of analysis difficult.

@stefan The cost of is a major obstacle for me, and I imagine for many other Mastodon users as well. I find the prospect of having to pay for a “subscription” to a Mastodon client, when there are apps available that only have to be paid for once, upon purchasing (such as !), incredibly distasteful - and I imagine a lot of other users without much expendable income do as well

@stefan ! does heavily encourage alt-text when posting photos - it requires several steps to opt-out of posting without alt-text, which provides a lot of friction to users who’s prefer to post images without descriptions - anecdotally, I expect I’d post alt-text on my photos much less frequently if Toot! didn’t encourage users to add descriptions as heavily as it does

I was curious about the state of the Michael Jackson lawsuits so I started watching "Leaving Neverland" (HBO, 2019) and whoo boy was that a mistake! I recommend reading a summary news article instead. 😓

@codinghorror @paninid I watched the whole thing. I don’t regret watching it, but I have legit trauma responses to hearing his music now. I think it’s important for people to know just how DEEPLY fucked up what he did was, and I just don’t think a news summary hits the same as watching actual testimony from the boys TBH. That being said, just watching it is traumatizing, and I get that people may not want to be traumatized

Wow, fuck .

Pizza Hut franchises in California lay off all delivery drivers ahead of minimum wage increase https://www.sfchronicle.com/california/article/pizza-hut-layoffs-california-delivery-drivers-18575247.php

@rombat I am a delivery driver in . There has been a lot of reporting on this issue that, while appreciated, is inaccurate.

Two PH franchises in CA have laid off all their drivers - 1,200 drivers - in LA, Orange County, San Bernardino, Sacramento, and elsewhere. There are many PH franchises, and they are all responding to this differently.

My franchise has not laid us off & calls for a boycott will negatively impact those of us who remain. Thank you for caring!

What the fuck??? Only fourteen votes against this measure? I knew has become increasingly divorced from reality, but I am genuinely fucking shocked that only fourteen house reps felt they could vote no to this dialog suppressing measure

I wrote about how Amazon’s bookstore is filling up with deepfaked authors and AI sludge — an early warning of the challenge that text generation poses to platforms. https://www.platformer.news/p/writers-are-getting-deepfaked-on

@caseynewton @blogdiva So…maybe shop at or sell your books at an actual bookstore instead of contributing to one of the most exploitative corporations in human history? 🤷🏻

Anybody buying or selling books on Amazon had this coming, and should have seen it coming too.

Hello 2023 participants! Please allow me to introduce you to the Temple of Floating Compression. It's a strange, large, and beautiful thing that does not photograph especially well, but is extremely impressive in person. The support crew attached to this art, myself included, would be deeply grateful for any monetary contributions, large or small, you might be able to make to help us get this big weird thing out onto playa. Check link for details! ❤️ https://www.deldiosglasshouse.com/temple
