@SimonWoods The HTML Standard does not leave much room for interpretation when it comes to the alt attribute:

A corollary to this is that the alt attribute's value should never contain text that could be considered the image's caption, title, or legend. It is supposed to contain replacement text that could be used by users instead of the image; it is not meant to supplement the image. The title attribute can be used for supplemental information.

What Is React.js?

React is useful for making complex interfaces like Facebook’s or for making otherwise simple interfaces, and their underlying codebases, complex like Facebook’s.

The task that generative A.I. has been most successful at is lowering our expectations, both of the things we read and of ourselves when we write anything for others to read. It is a fundamentally dehumanizing technology because it treats us as less than what we are: creators and apprehenders of meaning. It reduces the amount of intention in the world.

Instead of going for a swim in VĂ€ttern, we hopped on our bikes and rode over to an air-conditioned movie theater to see Alien: Romulus. A pretty good way to wrap up a warm day.

@dave Twitter-to-ActivityPub bridges, like bird.makeup, already exist, so the quickest way to get tweets on the Micro.blog timeline might be for @manton to ensure these bridges work with Micro.blog. For example, here's Timothy Snyder's Twitter profile on Micro.blog via bird.makeup. The profile shows up, but no posts are appearing. I’ve tried following Twitter accounts this way before, @manton, but the posts never fetch, so there might be a compatibility issue.

It would be really neat to have this working on Micro.blog. I’m currently following Twitter people via RSS, which I’m happy with, but it can be a bit overwhelming to see countless unread tweets when I open NetNewsWire. 😅

@rickardlindberg You're very welcome! This post made my heart sing. đŸ„° Growing up in the nineties, I learned web development the same way, and I still view-source on most sites I visit. There's always so much to learn and, sometimes, interesting tidbits to discover. I love, for example, how Robin's sites tend to have poems hidden away in HTML comments.

On our walk today, Sanna suddenly stopped in her tracks and pointed at the ground in front of her. I didn’t see them at first, but then
 chanterelles! We weren’t really equipped for foraging, so we had to improvise and fill our clothes, the water bottle, and our hands with tasty mushrooms. đŸ€€

@Archimage I've hand-soldered the odd surface-mount device here and there, but never a single project with this many parts. When I design my own boards, I stick with through-hole parts whenever I can, precisely because I suck at soldering. 😋

For this project, I would probably go the reflow route using a solder paste stencil, with a high probability of messing it up anyway. 😊
