Bonjour #Fediverse

Je me demandais dans la catégorie « j’ai des choses en vrac à partager par l’écrit » quels formats préférez vous pour la lecture ?

I applaud the concern about alt text. One of my best friends is blind, and I like to see her properly supported in her online experience.

But sometimes it works to ask people to edit posts to add alt text on images. Not everyone knows about alt text at all, and some people who try to include it forget sometimes, or don't realize they can edit it in after the fact. I try to always assume that this error, when it happens, is not an intentional slight, and so is a learning opportunity. And especially where good content would otherwise be lost, it seems worth the effort.

Mastodon has user preferences to make the absence of alt text show up visibly or to just filter out things that lack alt text ... BUT (strangely) it has no preference I can find that says "warn me if I'm posting something that would need such a flag". There should be such a preference and it should default to ON.

I consider it a major faux pas in design to beat someone up for something technologically when you could have just dissuaded or prevented the bad thing with an equal application of technology.

No one is born loving hot dogs. Food #preferences are learned. There is hope for changing #diets for the better by helping people learn new tastes. Pleasure can change the world and help people discover food that should play bigger roles in our diet: nytimes.com/2024/08/12/opinion (1/4)

HORMONTHERAPIE FÜR trans FRAUEN .... Und was sagen die Frauen selbst? (2)

Und erst, wenn klar ist, was Patient:innen brauchen z.B. um zu überleben und nicht in der Depression zu versinken, beginnt die Forschung mit Studien. Die im Laufe der Zeit immer besser werden.

I think you may be unfairly blaming #economics and economists here. This seems to be a meaningful step in ensuring the extremely valuable natural world is valued (though imperfectly). This helps us measure (and charge for) #externalities.

The definition of natural capital includes "other services people value" allows for it to grow as #people begin caring (and making decisions respecting) non-humans. Once that happens, economic models will reflect those #preferences.
