@jarkman #alt4you pedantism alert, but for bug nerds, the depicted creature is a caterpillar.

The segments between its midlegs and hind legs bunches in an arch, its first third with forelegs and long hornlike antennae waving tentatively as if exploring. The robot appears of pale cloth or membrane over a roughly 40 foot wireframe with brightly colored lights inside; the mobile head end shifting candy-colors slowly and continuously while the arched back half remains blue, orange, and pink.

@nullagent please, could you update your images to add alt texts ? That will make them accessible to everyone.

First image :

Picture taken in front of a Tesla dealserhip. Several etsla cars are parked, and we can see a white bald man with a mustache, all dressed in black, with his right arm bent in front of his chest.

Second image :

Close up on the man. He is now extending his right arm in a nazi salute while shouting something.

@DarleneRyan A sepia toned image of Octavia Butler accompanies the following quote:
"Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery."

@denisolivierphotography Love this...

#ALT4you "The image shows a square format black and white photo mounted and framed, seen at an angle. The photo shows the Eiffel Tower in a gap between two terraces of buildings, framed at the top by the bare branches and twigs of a tree, suggesting the photo was taken from low down."

Data in the Star Trek TNG episode "The Ensigns of Command", in front of an orange-glowing furnace kind of thing. He's looking at someone off camera and is captioned saying: "Words are all we have been using."

[second image]
He continues: "Humans seem to take much stronger notice of actions."

[third image]
He's no longer looking at the person off camera and concludes: "I require a phaser."

A screenshot of a Signal Channel where Mike Waltz texted:
"1536: F-18 2nd Strike Starts - also first sea-based Tomahawks launched.

We are currently clean on OPSEC.
Goodspeed to our warriors" With the OPSEC line highlighted in yellow.

@fcharlet est-ce que tu pourrais rajouter un alt à ton image ? Ça permettrait de la rendre accessible à tout le monde.

Par exemple :

Capture du site Le Temps
La Floride débat sur le travail des enfants pour remplacer les immigrés sans-papiers
La législature gouvernée par Robert DeSantis propose d'assouplir le droit du travail des enfants, permettant aux 14 ans de travailler la nuit. Une loi qui doit encore passer l'aval du Sénat.

Meme from the Star Wars show Andor
Saw Gerrera: "The'yre building a weapon called the Death Star"
Luthen Rael: "How do you know this ?"
Saw Gerrera, showing his photoshopped phone: "Krennic added me to the group chat"

Also, @pgcd : "will update later" is not a good alt, it's even better not to put anything before adding something useful.

First day this year going fully legwear-free... no tights, no nylons, no mesh, no nothin’. Just skin.

Breaking dress codes since three years now and still not fired. Yet. 😜

Today’s look: comfy top, slit skirt with views, and all the barefoot power I can legally bring into the office.

The air may be conditioned, but the vibe is anything but! :valid:

@joyoftech Three-panel-cartoon.

First panel: Person standing in front of a 23andMe shop offering "Genetic Tests", saying: "Oh cool! I'll get my DNA tested!"
Second panel: Person inside the shop, salesperson says: "Sign this please. It says we own your sample and can do research." Customer: "Ok, sure."
Third panel, captioned: "A few months later: Customer looks astonished at the same shop, now called "23andMeat", offering Lab Grown Meat. #Alt4You

@debdiscourse Here, I will write some alt text right now:

A comic where a boy is talking to his father. The boy says "Dad, where is Yemen?". The dad replies "Why?" The boy says "My group chat says we strike at midnight". Timed, that took 1 minute and 12 seconds to write. If you can't take a minute to write some text so people with vision problems can enjoy what you post, maybe the Fediverse isn't for you.

@alshafei Can I suggest an alt text ? Adding it to your image would make your toot accessible to everyone.

Post from Marek Tyminski (CEO of a company whose main games are called "Sniper Ghost Warrior":
Reminder: we make games, not politics. We stand for non-political and non-social agendas — no DEI in gaming content. Our next games and updates will follow that.

A photo of a tesla showroom, outside at daytime. Hot, striking magenta paint is splattered all across the tiringly white façade, metallic Tesla logo, and main glass doors. Two people, apparently protesters, are sitting in front of the entrance, with a sign. The sign itself and the slogan on it are hard to discern from the photo, but you can clearly see they're colored in black and the same hot, striking magenta.
