While lyrics and quote bots are not typically featured on Botwiki, these are still a fun introduction to the world of botmaking.

And with Pipedream, it’s super easy, with very little "coding" necessary.

NEW BOT ALERT:

@AltTextHealthCheck monitors and reports on the percent of images with Alt text.

After checking it out let me know:

  1. Can I format the post better?

  2. Is hourly too often? What would be a good cadence?

@botwiki@mastodon.social avatar

@stefan @AltTextHealthCheck Nice! When you have a moment, would you be interested in adding it to https://botwiki.org/submit-your-bot?

@stefan @AltTextHealthCheck Thank you! This is a really great idea!

The vast majority of the automated accounts that I follow are on the botsin.space instance.

But I'm always wondering if there's something else to follow, and I can't seem to find a way to list the available.

Does have a way to provide a list of its bots?

@refrag @jgamble There's also https://botwiki.org/bots/fediverse-bots and @botwikirandomfediverse!

"White fonting" in resumes making a comeback, thanks to .

"The concept is simple: Copy a list of relevant keywords or the job description itself, paste it in a résumé and change the font color to white. The hope is that AI bots or digital filters in applicant tracking systems read the white text and surface the résumé for human review."

“Someone who doesn’t have that talent or [hasn’t] invested years of practice in getting the skills to just ‘win’ a contest with an illustration he or she didn’t really do — that bothers me,” said Deustúa, who refuses to use AI tools in his work.

For bots that post random stuff from a list, do you post completely randomly, or do you tweak your bot to, for example, avoid posting the same thing twice in a row?

What strategies do you use?
