I'm not overestimating the effect of any one person's actions. It's a collective thing, that's what Big Data is. lots of little data, aggregated.

Yeah I thought at first it's about making the chair itself invisible until I read it more properly lol

i think you're overestimating the effect of your actions by about one billion fold.

I'm non-binary, so that means I'm definitely not straight (M<->F). But I don't think I can be called gay either (M<->M || F<->F)... gotta be honest, I'm just as confused as you are.

Just kidding, we made our own labels a while ago. I am Trixic! (NB<->F || NB<->NB)

the chair seems very visible to me

Reminds me of how youtube's autocaptions just put [_] for everything, as if deaf people can't handle swearing or slurs, but everyone else can.

I think you're better off not having slurs, but if it's there in one format it should be in the other. If you do censor it at least do it where it's clear what specific word isn't being said.

YOKO ONO needs food badly!

whose dick do i have to suck to suck someones dick?

holy shit!!!

im gay. AND transgener.

Not on Linux- the accessibility scene is pretty abysmal and even then, the screen readers I used didn't have OCR. (Plus there's OCR taking more battery, which isn't immaterial)

I think I don't consider it a dilemma, but I am imagining other people see it as such and I am trying to inquire about how people internalize it / think about alt text.

I do think censoring the slur in the screenshot is the way to go (and so also noting the pixelated and implied slur in the alt text)

While I think that's the way to go, I am still concerned with the quality of the alt text and it's utility

thats so fucking cool

a little

yay! ^__^ yay!!
me too!

im so gay

I don't think I've ever screenshotted a slur, and if I did I'd probably edit the image before posting anyway

if its a screenshot of a social media post , i think most screenreaders handle those pretty well already. So maybe you can yourself of your slur dilemma, the machine will already say it for you 👍

OK, welcome aboard as the head cannoneer.

You're hired. You can be the quartermaster.
