I have a question regarding #accessibility and #AltText / #ImageDescription / #MediaDescription.

I need to come up with an image description for the attached image for my job. I'm at a complete loss. This is alt text nightmare mode.

Are there established methods for describing complex figures such as this one?

I would be very happy about some input from people who actually need image descriptions.

Of course, on the artist's Facebook post for this comic, there is a reply guy saying "Well actually, the term gaslighting wasn't about gas lighters..."

Andrew Tate is a rapist, lets see how many of you are not intimidated by him, share this post to prove it.

I asked my good friend @david_chisnall if there is a commonly known slang to describe a massive propagated error. He replied with one word - and nailed it:

“Windows”.

To be honest, “x86” would also be a good answer. However, a more accurate way to describe x86 is as a “pile of horrible, independent ideas forming a huge, unmaintainable mess”.

- Do you play any musical instruments?
- I play the Unicode.
- Huh? The Unicode? What's that?
- It's a kind of string instrument.

I remember in the mid ‘90s, Bill Gates said something like ‘if the car industry had improved at the same rate as the computer industry, cars would go at a thousand miles per hour and get thousands of miles per gallon’ and someone at a car manufacturer replied that their customers are quite glad that the cars don’t crash several times a day.

I am starting to wonder if Tesla is an elaborate piece of performance art in support of this joke.

Program goes to Operating System, tears in eyes, says "my state, it is very bad"

Operating System says "is no problem, have good error reporting facility, detailed but concise report, contextual information included. you will submit bug there"

Program sobs loudly "but Operating System, I *am* error reporting facility"
