      @neil @simonzerafa I can't see the alt text in Tusky on phone.

      @annehargreaves @neil @simonzerafa That's odd. The text shows in Tusky on my Fairphone 4 running eOS. There is no "Alt" button, it just shows immediately while playing.

        Umm. I don't remember them doing so during the various 1980's riots so probably quite archaic.

        Additional: The AI in my Internet search engine confidently states in was the Criminal Law Act 1967 for England and Wales and 1973 for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

        That's might even be correct! Not as archaic as I thought πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

        FWIW QI agrees on a 1967 repeal:

          Have you *actually read* the Riot Act?

          @neil I think some of it was read to us when we were at a questionably legal rave they wanted to shut down? Or maybe that was a different act. Dunno. Seemed like they were insisting we leave anyway so we did.

            It added fine, but whether it is visible/accessible in all clients might be a different matter!

              @tarix29 @simonzerafa

              Can you normally see alt text for audio on Moshidon? Or is this clip unusual?

              (Just wondering if it is a me thing, or a Moshidon thing!)

                @neil @simonzerafa I honestly don't know. I rarely see audio posts and can't seem to find one at the moment

                      @neil Have just fallen down a fascinating Wikipedia rabbit hole on the subject of the Riot Act (1715); so thank you! πŸ™‚
