So many people use screen readers!! Just write alt text!!

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 6d

I've been taking it for granted that people know what alt-text is for, but that assumption was clearly wrong.

Alt-text is read out loud by assistive technologies like screen readers. It's primarily for people who are visually impaired.

You are indecisive! A line gathers behind you. The other patrons start heckling you to choose A, choose A! You
[a] choose A
[b] turn around and face your foes
[c] choose C and brace for impact

You shove the chips in your backpack. The chip bag ruptures and tiny crumbs gather at the bottom. Your laptop becomes covered in Lay’s chip oil! You
[a] dump the entire backpack on the seat next to you
[b] suck up the crumbs with your mouth like a vacuum
[c] burst into tears

Bari Weiss is set to be named the editor in chief of CBS News, the New York Post reports

Paramount Skydance is poised to name Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News in the coming days — giving the hard-charging journalist unusual clout to revamp the struggling network as it also acquires her scrappy news site the Free Press, The Post has learned.

Weiss — a 41-year-old former New York Times opinion writer who has built the Free Press into a buzzworthy site with a contrarian bent — is expected to be named to the top post in a Monday announcement, although the talks are in flux and the timing could change, a source close to the situation said.
