What continent are you currently on

It's not that the Republicans and the Democrats are the same...obviously. But for decades - since Clinton - the Dems have sided with neoliberal economics, just like their Republican counterparts, so the major differences between the two related to overt discrimination, to the exclusion of the economic policies that immiserated working people, with the worst effects landing on racial minorities, women, and gender minorities.

my favorite operating system is bingos 11, i like the way that you can't even do anything with it, it just does its own thing and shows you ads and sends your most private thoughts and fears to an advertising agency. at least they made it so scrolling up moves the page left and vice versa

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?

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”.

- I play the Unicode.
- Huh? The Unicode? What's that?
- It's a kind of string instrument.
