HA! That's so true in some arenas. A lot of folks don't realize alt text is an SEO topic too, so that actually may be a blessing as it's not abused that way! :)

Folks in Web Standards and #a11y have made the business case repeatedly. Your use of the slang "ALT tag" is indicative of education fail in HTML as a language. It's an attribute. We don't learn syntax, nomenclature. We're not encouraged to teach actual languages. Techniques sell.

Maybe so. But the difference your tweet here reveals to me is you knew it's an attribute. People focus on results not actual language. That is in part the culture of "HTML is easy who cares so long as it works"
THAT conversation is more contemporary - when we can't touch code and need to know how each site/app may or may not provide a means to include alt text with a posted image, take extra steps - that's a new issue imo.
I'd agree time is a factor. As is experience. There's so little user testing, people rely on audits now alone.
In a zoom #UX #A11y #UniversalDesign meetup this week we were discussing alt "tags" and descriptive text. I became anxious about how our industry is nearing 30 years and why alt - introduced in HTML 2.0 (1995) is still misunderstood. What do you think factors in to why this is?

This animated GIF preserves a pre #Netscape 2.0 (1995) #Web #animation using multiple static GIFs, an ASCII file to order their play, and an #HTML doc with an .htmlx extension for server-side includes. I did the poem and all the code, my friend Matt Straz did the design. #History

I'm glad to hear that and since you had it the general speculation is it will be better for you in the long run to have the vaccine.

Really impressive! I also love your filter selfies which are fun and interesting. I have a pro Canon lenses and all in storage. Hopefully I will be able to do some day trips after vax 2 next week. 🙂

I can relate. I hope you are able to find clarity and no need for regrets. Sometimes we have to throw caution to the wind to get to the next step.

Ha! I just saw Casa Blanca pop up on HBO max and watch listed it for old times sake. It never gets old.

Your talents are many and I am so proud and happy to have you in my life. Family matters to me, loss inspires us if we let it to treasure who remains kind, loyal, forgiving, loving. Also, what camera and features are you using for your launch shots? So awesome. 💕

No kidding? That's pretty cool 😎 I grew up in New York and New Jersey, got to see some great shows at Madison Square Garden, CBGBs (Deborah Harry) and elsewhere. Some great shows here in Arizona and Las Vegas (Roger WATERS etc). I met Bruce Springsteen at a NJ party. SO rude!

I hope you are! That was my response to moderna 1. Lasted 2 days and subsided. It's the second shot folks report the worst responses to, mine 2nd is the 29th. Good luck. Such an ordeal for everyone. 🙏
The #NFT trauma/drama continues. Such troubling abuses out of the gate bode badly for a positive result when/if #NFTs scale up. #DRM has never been an easy issue for technology much less society. CC, Copyleft and FOSS kid, me. wired.com/story/nfts-and-ai-…

Epic answer. First heard Dark Side of the Moon and went backwards. I have a memory of driving with my friend David up through Northern New Hampshire in the fog listening to Uma Guma 'careful with that axe Eugene' and we came across a huge moose blocking the roadway. Great memory!
