@anja You sure do, that belly isn't going to pet itself

@unixorn @anja on that note, please do not use the fashtech slop machine to write alt texts, either write them yourself or leave them out so others can contribute them

@mirabilos @unixorn not okay if i let it write and then edit?

[mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org]

@unixorn @anja no, that still burns the planet, and it puts words and style in your mouth.

The best alt texts are not (just) what you see but also the why, why the photographer chose the frame, what the cats are doing, their names, background, etc. (not too verbose ofc, just a sprinkle), and even joke explanations (not just visual but also for people who lack the cultural context).
